SO yeah. After a rocky afternoon I went out with some friends to the movies while my parents watched Camper and his friend, Boo ;) They are really, very cute together and part of me wanted to stay home and watch them play, but it was nice to go out with a group of girls for a change. John was planning on taking a half day, but unexpectedly had to stay at work late (and then felt very sick on the way home) so he’s now going out to get us some dinner (addendum: when he got home he had dinner AND ice cream cake. I was too cold to eat it tonight and everyone had gone to sleep…but I suspect I’ll be just fine tomorrow:)). I intend to put on my PJ’s, watch Chuck, and try to forget the less than pleasant aspects of today.
My parents gave me a wonderful present, as well. Three pairs of wool socks. Smartwool, which I love and er…actually can’t really afford. I have one pair that is currently one sock…owing to the fact that my kid likes to take sock out of my drawer and stick them into his trucks and into the laundry basket. So now I have four. And my feet will be all the happier for it. I never knew that posh socks could make you happier. Now I know. So parents, my feet and I thank you.
And thanks for braving the February night for ice cream cake, John. A birthday just isn’t a birthday without one.
And now I will go to sleep.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ERIN! And ooh, I heart SmartWool too…and totally can’t afford them. ;-) Glad your day recovered from a rocky start, AND that John came through with cool books (I’m going to look them up on Goodreads!) and ice cream cake. Happy 27th!
