SURPRISE!

Just when I thought my birthday was over...

Adam, coolest of all husbands, threw a surprise party for me last night. A real live grown-up cocktail party, with wine and cheese and olives! It was a blast. The best part was that dear friend Ben from Louisville (well, formerly a Bloomington friend) showed up. I saw a motorcycle pull in the driveway about 4:30, and about lost my shit when I realized who it was. That's a long way to drive for a birthday party. Some people just know you so well, and no matter how long you go between visits, it's like they never left. I am lucky enough to have several of those people in my life. One of the others happened to call me last night in the midst of the party, and I can't say it isn't nice to be the center of attention sometimes.

I'm just mad that I didn't take any pictures. At all. I never remember to use my camera; I'm always too busy doing things to try to actually record them in pictures, and then I'm always sorry afterwards. But anyway, thank you to all the friends (both old and new) who came, and to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I really don't expect a big deal to be made, especially at this point in my life, but it is always nice to know people are thinking of me.

We got up today and headed to the Viking Chili Bowl yet again for breakfast. I was treated to "Happy Birthday to MOMMY!" a couple more times at the breakfast table. It's hilarious that all these birthdays are happening at once and the Bug just doesn't comprehend what it's all about, but is certainly having a lot of fun with it. I also found out today that, unlike when I was in my twenties, I can't throw back drink after drink all night, get up early the next day, eat eggs for breakfast, and then run four miles. Can you say extreme nausea? So the rest of the day shall be very low-key, and tomorrow it's off to the races again...
