My day started out by sleeping an hour later. Soldier has the day off for a follow up appointment and is fixing his brakes and working on the garage. While getting ready for work I heard Soldier and Chunky Love horsing around. Bathroom door opens and Chunky sneaks in. I reached around the corner and tickled his side. He said he was hiding from Daddy. We had a morning hug and snuggles and then went to finish getting ready. Mad Hatter was still in bed.
I got plenty of birthday hugs and kisses before leaving this morning. I was hoping for a beautiful summer day. I got cool and cloudy with some rain.
At work I received yummy chocolate brownies a sweet woman made. She doesn't cook well and is really trying. Another co-worker took me to lunch. I'm so absolutely blessed. My girlfriends have all sent various wise-cracking emails wishing me happy birthday. Again, I'm so blessed to have these people.
The woman from the jeweler keeps calling about their redesign event going on today and that they have some really beautiful stones in the size and color I'm coveting. I told Soldier about it. Many days ago. We've talked about replacing the center stone on my engagement ring with something a bit larger and much better quality. We then decided that maybe doing that and resetting the diamonds into a better band wouldn't be a bad idea either. Do I tell him that's what I want to do for my birthday or do I shrug it off? I'm so sentimental about my wedding set, I'm not sure I'd go through with it anyway.
What else??? Not much. We are having a fundraiser for my sister for her upcoming kidney transplant. I've been craving sweets and junk WAY to much. I'm not quite sure why. I generally don't. Last night at the gym, the scale was showing a total loss of 6 pounds. I was thrilled with that. I was not thrilled that I ripped the lining in my slacks yesterday morning before work. One reason I dislike lined pants. And the pants were not skin tight. Not even close.
Family Day is Sunday. I must go and be the good wife. I get the feeling I'm not that well liked by the wives of the men that Soldier works with. Just a hunch and the fact that I got the evil stink-eye from them at a function last fall. I can't help it that skin tight, pre-worn Prom/Bridesmaid dresses are not my thing. I don't do gaudy hair, make-up, jewelry. And I am NOT stuffy and anti-social. I had laryngitis and couldn't talk!!! I represented my husband in the way I felt he deserved. I was proper, behaved and polite. And I was covered where I was supposed to be covered. So I got lucky in the Lauren department at Macy's, geesh!!!
OK, so I had better get back to work. I've got two aggressive work plans staring me in the face and have no reason to complain I don't have time to do everything. I needed to brain dump and that's just what I've done.
