Happy Birthday to Me!
So far, so good. I'm a firm believer in long celebrations, so I
started celebrating my birthday last night.

sineater, skye_ds and sonar0m took me to dinner. I got to hear about
their adventures with the SCA & their plans for the weekend. It was
fun.

I'd been playing phone tag with onyxlynxx and left her a message
about my last minute dinner plans. She met up with us in the parking
lot as we were leaving the restaurant. She still hadn't eaten, and
knew of a place nearby that had Mangia Pizza and Ben & Jerry's right
next door to each other (future poly dinner location?) At Mangia's I
took a minute to call nikiyoy, and she sounded wretched. She was
feeling bad but she'd taken some medicine and hoped to feel better
soon. She said she'd call us if she got a second wind. Ms. Onyxx and
I shared an order of cheese sticks, I drank a beer, and she had
pizza. After Dinner #2, we went next door for ice cream. I could have
been virtuous and stuck with frozen yogurt, but, to quote a
friend "fuck that!" -- I went for the chocolate fudge brownie ice
cream. Yummy! Nikiyoy called while we were enjoying our ice cream,
and we met her at her place, then went to IHOP for Dessert #2. I got
coffee. It was, if possible, WORSE than the Coffee of Oppression at
work. And the waiter was...ick. Oh well, the company and conversation
more than made up for the atmosphere.

We had a great visit, which ended with sitting by the pool at
Nikiyoy's and talking about just about everything. We hit the highs &
the lows, made NAMBLA jokes about Disney Characters (they all have
nephews, but you never see their sisters!), planned pranks (anybody
wanna put on fangs and go to Midnight Mass at Xmastime?), talked
about family, friends, relationships, lovers, past hurts, future
hopes, who we want to be and who people think we are...it was just
amazing. I am so blessed to have these magical women in my life. They
wished me happy b-day at midnight & thankfully didn't sing too
terribly much. It was great.

I took today off work. So today I slept in, did some shopping at
Mervyn's (Bra sizes are so bizarre. I just picked a range of __#__
and __letter__ and tried them on until I found a brand that fit in a
flattering way...I still have NO clue what actual bra size I wear)
and Hobby Lobby (found cute citronella candles for Monday), stopped
by Reubens to get stuff for my annual endless batch of Sangria, and
the guy at the liquor store sang me happy birthday. It was
embarassing, but very sweet. He's a musician when he's not a liquor
store clerk, and tonight he's playing at Mann's from 6-9, if anyone's
interested. If dinner doesn't run too late, I may try to stop by. He
was very nice & kinda cute, too. (What is it with me and liquor store
employees? There's another story for another day, ask me about it
sometime when we're having a few drinks.)

Now I am back home with the orange slices happily marinating in the
Sangria in the fridge, preparing for tomorrow's spa trip, and trying
to find out what the DPS did with my drivers license renewal I sent
them a month ago. It expires today!!

At 4, my aunt is picking me up for our 4:45 hair appointment. I plan
on walking across the street from the salon to Grapevine Market to
see if they have the 1970 Dows Vintage Port. My stepdad sent me a
check and told me I should get a bottle. (drinking wine my age! What
a hoot!)

This evening is dinner with everyone and an early night, because
Tomorrow is Yoga with e. and onyxlynxx, an then e. and I are going up
to The Crossings for massages and such.

Sunday I am going to clean house, and maybe catch the new Star Wars
movie with sharjinka, and then Monday is another gathering of friends
& loved ones at our house.

A 5 day celebration for my 35th. How's that for awesome? I am so
incredibly grateful for all of the beautiful, wonderful people in my
life. I don't have anything if I don't have people to love, who love
me. Thanks, everyone! YOU are the best present I could have :)

Hey, glad to hear that your birthday is going better than you thought
it would a few days ago, and happy birthday! I was amused, there was
a little thingie on ICQ that popped up last night and said that your
birthday was today. :)

I'd still be interested in joining you guys tonight, though I've not
sure if I'll eat or not. The financial situation looks less grim than
it did yesterday, and I haven't been out much lately, so we'll
see . . . but, at the very least, I could go to see you and
socialize. :)

My birthday present to bramblekite ... [May. 20th, 2005|12:26 pm]

[ Current Music | DVDA & Perry Farrell - "Hot Lava" - Chef Aid ]

... proof of just how deeply she's burrowed into my subconscious.

I was turning into the drive-thru at Wendy's when I lined up behind a
green VW car. It had its model name "PASSAT" in all-caps. I saw it in
my peripheral vision and thought it said "ASSHAT."

Happy birthday, my dear evil twin. To the Goddess Years! *clink*

Friday evening, beli1728 and I went to bramblekite and
fungus_finger's birthday dinner at Mongolian Barbeque. We sat by gev
and maggiemaepisces. I only got a chance to talk with B. briefly but
it is nice to see her happy. I had a good talk with her aunt and
uncle who are also vegetarians. They seemed impressed that I could
get the cooks to hose down the grill and scrape all the gunk off.
They said that I was very assertive "in a nice way." I am glad they
thought I wasn't too pushy. I like their description. I am fairly
particular about what I want but I don't feel the need to be rude
about it.

After dinner, Beli and I met cb and Meg for ice cream at Ben and
Jerry's. We chatted for a while and then headed home.

crazy business


shortly after my last entry, Magiemaepisces and I swooped over and picked up Kai
and
went fabric shopping at Wal*Mart. Hurray for late-night fabric
hunting.
Afterward, we stopped by the 24/7 Starbucks and all ordered a tall
cool one.
I went to hand the guy the plastic to pay and he mumbled something
about
some thing being broken "they're free". bonus!

Today was a bit more relaxed after we finally got to sleep around 5.
Had a nice lunch at Tea HOuse, then went chocolate shopping for
evilE's
birthday, went home and rested for a bit then we went to Mongolian
BBQ for
E's birthday dinner, along with her sweetie, who shares her
birthday.
Too cute for words. After that, we went to the Ben & Jerry's on Burnet
(just north of IBM) to get some CoffeeCoffeeBuzzBuzzBuzz. It seems
that
all the quart lids for Ben & Jerry's in Texas are being dropped off at
the Round Rock store, because neither the 5th St store nor the Burnet
location have lids, but they do have the quart cups.

Meg and I continue to sail along... For whatever reason, I keep
imagining
the 'inevitable' fight. Not that I want it to happen, but it's gotta
happen.
right?

Meg zonked out nearly as soon as we got home.
She's so cute, snoozin' away. :)

aww!

So far it's been a great birthday! I took today off work, had dinner
with my brother and his family, then stayed out late last night with
my friends Niki and Kirby and they wished me happy b-day at midnight.

Today I slept in, did some shopping, stopped by Reubens to get stuff
for my annual endless batch of Sangria, and the guy at the liquor
store sang me happy birthday. It was embarassing, but very sweet.

35 is gonna be a GREAT year :)

beauty last night :)

This weekend: http://loch-soilleir.ansteorra.org/guardian/

Next weekend:

13th wedding anniversary of sineater and myself
Memorial Day - Ideas, anyone? San Gabriel Park and Duke's BBQ? Lake
Somerville? McKinney Roughs? (see links below)

First weekend of June: my birthday

Seeking input from keject, hime_karisuta, honehe, jason_chip and/or
bramblekite. My thoughts so far are some combination of the
following:

Saturday:


Lake Somerville - riding and maybe swimming
(http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/park/lakesome/), or
McKinney Roughs - trail riding on the Colorado River
(http://www.lcra.org/community/mckinney_roughs.html) .

Thank you so much for dinner & pleasant conversation. So far my
birthday has been grand!

Sweetie wants to spend Mem. day weekend camping an/or toobing.

I don't know about the following weekend. It's the Voyagers party and
also another party that same night.

I am not sure how mobile I'm going to be. I think the only 1 of the
cars that's drivable by me may be about to give out. Since I don't
have a current DL (expires today & the replacement has not arrived!)
I don't think I can rent a car. p00p.

more updatey-stuff: My bday weekend

So, Friday evening was everybody, god, and their two cousins, PLUS my
cousin B, at Mongolian BBQ. It was awesome to be surrounded by that
many people who like us, but overwhelming, and I don't feel like I
really got to visit with everyone as much as I wanted to.

I went to bed early, since I had yoga the next morning, but Sweetie
went out with a bunch of folks and ended up at the Yellow Rose. Peglegasus
bought him a "2 chicks at the same time" lapdance. Gotta love our
friends.

Saturday, I woke up early and picked up e. at the car repair place;
her car's engine light had come on, so we left it at the shop for the
day while we went and played.

Yoga was good; we had a substitute instructor, who showed us a nicer
way to do Triangle, and did a lot of upper-body, shoulders & back
stuff. I was worried that class would seem endless since we had a day
at the Crossings to look forward to, but it went pretty quick.

After that, we went out to the Crossings for a day of spa-ing. We
started with salt & flower scrubs, which e. didn't care for, but I
really enjoyed. Very soft skin afterwards. Then we got some lunch &
sat on the patio enjoying the view. At 2 we had our second treatment,
stone massage. I'd never had that before, so it was really
interesting and awesome. I decided I really need a hot rock for my
tummy during those special 'womanly' times. That felt really nice.
After that, we went swimming and hot-tubbing. I even braved the cold
plunge. BRRR! Felt great afterwards, though!

I think scheduling 2 treatments in an afternoon was a little much;
next time I may just get a massage, and/or just a day pass and enjoy
some unstructured me-time up there.

We got back from the spa right at 5, barely in time for e. to pick up
her car before they closed. And then home sometime near 6 PM. I was
pretty tired from the heat and the spa-stuff, but when Sweetie
suggested The Chicken and TV over at Max's, I said "OK". So that's
what I did with my evening. And then I came home and went to bed
early.

Sunday, I got up early and mowed and weed-whacked the back yard, then
started on house-cleaning and laundry. Later on, Sweetie & I made a
grocery run for Monday night's gathering, and I did some cooking in
preparation for that. I still have a couple of things to do when I
get home from work today, but it is mostly fun.

I am working Monday and Tuesday this week,and then taking the rest of
the week off. Yay for B-day laziness!
