I'm Hiding

I got a cold yesterday... the kind that likes to hang out in your sinuses... so I'm hiding under blankets with either: soup, tea, sprite zero or a popsicle.

I hope to see you soon when my brain starts functioning properly. Until then, enjoy the following photo of my niece (who turned FIVE today!) and nephew at the zoo. Happy Birthday, CG! Auntie Joy loves you so very much!  =o)

RubyRed Turned 30!

It was in June, but less than a month ago. I'm getting better blogging friends! RubyRed was one of my roommates before she got married... so was Crystal and Rachel was an honorary roommie.. so when we started thinking about what do do for her birthday, a fun theme filled party sounded like a very fun idea. So we ran with it. We happened to be watching the new Alice in Wonderland that Tim Burton directed when we realized how fun a party that could be. Normally used for a kid, extremely fun for a bunch of adults. It may have been the details

Although I personally think it was the friends

That made RubyRed's 30th birthday in Wonderland oh-so-sweet.

Happy Birthday again, RubyRed! I hope you had as much fun as I did =o)

Today…

I feel exactly 1 day over 29.

My 28th...

For my birthday we went to Outback! It was so much fun!! Here are some random photos from the 'event'... hahaha

My coworker Katie was there with her family celebrating her birthday (it was the 23rd) so she came and said hi! I had her wear the traditional birthday tiara =o)

The Trio...

RubyRed and RachelBaby

I think Ali-gato actually got a salad... but it looks like she got a bowl of meat!

I stuck with the Atlantic Salmon...

...it went well with my Wallaby Darned!

Patty wouldn't get in the group shot, even thought I was pointing at her to get her over!

But here she is anyway with Robbie and Ali-gato!!

Rachel and I went to the Gym yesterday

and I had this great realization. It was the last time I would see this

while setting up the elliptical... I know it's not shocking or anything, but it made me realize that from today on it'll say 28...
