32

I’m 32 today!  Which makes me feel like this:

Wheeeeeee!

I love my birthday.  I’m not the type of person to get upset about turning older; on the contrary, I think it’s cool.  I never really pictured myself any older than about 25, so every year is a brand new adventure!  Plus, a birthday is basically one giant reason excuse to be happy the entire day.  And eat lots of good food with friends.  I’ve got both lunch and dinner plans today, plus a date with Jose to see Hubble 3D this weekend at HMNS!

It definitely helps that my husband is THE COOLEST.  Last night we had tickets to the Rockets game, and when we came home I had to slink off into the study for a bit to do a couple final corrections on the pageant program.  At 11:00 — because it was midnight on the east coast and thus my birthday, since I was born in North Carolina! —  he came running in with a huge smile on his face and dragged me out into the living room.  “Look!” he said. “What is it??” I asked.  He pointed at the island, and there was this:

My Wii!  The one I’ve been saying I’m going to get for months, but kept waffling about!  He only bought it yesterday because he was afraid I’d find it if he got it any earlier.  So he left work early, went and got it, hid it in the mess that is our garage, and then pulled it out last night as soon as he could reasonably insist it was my birthday.  See?  THE COOLEST.

I was so excited that I jumped up and down!

Then we plugged it in and played Wii Sports Resort until almost 2 a.m.

I’m sleepy this morning, but it was worth it.
