Enjoying Life
Yesterday was my birthday, and it was a very good day. It started out with Chris making me breakfast. My work day went well, if a little slow, and I participated in a Texas (?) tradition for the first time. Around here when it is your birthday you put a pin on your shirt and people give you money. It looks a little weird with money pinned to your shirt, but then everyone knows it's your birthday. I think I got about $9.00 out of it and strangers were wishing me a Happy Birthday. It was fun.
After work Chris took me to Papaya Garden, a really nice Thai restaurant. I overate, of course. Then he gave me my present - a gift certificate for salon services at the Gaylord Texan (fancy, shmancy hotel/resort type place for those who don't know). He even got me a gift card for the restaurant across from the salon so I can have a whole special day. Yay. Several people called and/or left birthday greetings on my answering machine. Finally, we had a small cake and then watched "Home Alone", which I hadn't seen in years. Overall it was a great day.
The other thing that happened yesterday is that we received several packages in the mail. Since we're not going home for Christmas my parents and sisters have been shipping our gifts here. One of the boxes that arrived, unfortunately, had a large picture of the actual item on the outside. Good thing no one decided to steal it from our porch while we were at work! Anyway...it's a new microwave. Yay! When we got married Chris had one of those old Magic Chef kinds that only has one power level and has a dial. It worked ok, but my main concern was its age and whether it was leaking microwaves. Since I want to get pregnant I don't really want a leaky microwave around. I tried out the new one this morning to make my instant oatmeal and it was great. It cooked in half the time and was very quiet. Hopefully my parents will forgive us for using it before Christmas but since I already knew what it was, it was hard not to take it out of the box. And then once it was out of the box, well, you know the rest of the story.

Congrats on your birthday! Sounds like you have an awesome husband! I love the microwave story, my parents up until the time I was 15 had an old microwave from when they first invented them (my great grandfather gave it to them old), I think it's why I grew that third hand! (JK!!!!!)Â
