Hello 40!

The day was beautiful. The sky was clear, the clouds were bright as you can see. it was a clear not so hot comfortable day. i went to work with a smile on my face. it was my day. im 40 today and i feel great! i wasn't at work for very long. a couple of hours. i need to get some sleep as my birthday celebration started at midnight at Ihop with cindy. we had a good time and i received some really great presents from her....2 cd's and a hershey kiss candy dish that sings to you. its really cute. she also made me a cake which was yummy.

after that i was on the phone all night with my dear friend Maggie (my vegas friend) and didnt' really get to sleep till almost 6am....i only slept for a few hours cuz the phone didn't stop ringing but that was cool. i spoke to people i havent talked to in years!! litereally. i got in touch with my old best friend from 20 years ago and that was cool. a few NY freinds called me and my first girlfriend who i still keep in touch with called me and that was the highlight. she always makes me feel good. after that i was pretty much up and off to work for a little while. there really wasn't anything to do there so i could have stayed home.

then i was home and basically went to bed. i needed to sleep some cuz i knew it was going to be a late night. i was meeting my friends at bingo for my bingo birthday party. LOL it was great. we had a great time and everyone there had fun with us. i got a lot of free stuff too which was very cool. didn't win any money, but maria did and that was great. we had pizza, the roomie made cookies, maria came with chips and dip and becky brought the cake. so yummy!! a good time was had by all. afterwards we went to the local bar for a drink and then i was meeting someone afterwards so we all went home. they all had to work. i took the day off. heh

i got home on thursday and crashed. sarah and i went to dinner and saw a movie. she got me a cd ive been wanting and birthday cards which was really nice. i wasn't expecting anything and she really shocked me. we had a nice time since we never really hang out anymore. it was nice.

i also found out that my cousin had her baby and my sister is pregnant!! so that was awsome news! so i have to say that i honestly had a great birthday. and im really happy about that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so ive been trying to book a flight to see my mom for the longest time. i just can't seem to get dates that i want. its very frustrating. i want to do a thursday to monday but i can't seem to get anything except wed to tues. which is fine but i was trying not to miss so many days at work. im going to keep looking though. im still trying to get to vegas.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so all in all its been a pretty good couple of days. the weekend is here. not much going on. talk of fishing but its raining so we'll see. and other than work and bingo...not to much else going on.

have a good weekend everyone!
