baronessekatSo far it's been a pretty quiet and uneventful day.
Yesterday I got the birthday calls from my car dealer (old family friend who calls on all his clients' birthdays and anniversaries) and my uncle Alan.
This morning I was greeted by Grimm with an Elvis style puppy sneer and a sneeze. I think that was "Happy Birthday Momma".
Today my boss gave me a potted Gerbera Daisy plant. And he didn't even know that next to apricot roses, gerbera daisies (of any color) are my favorite flower. So bonus to him. My co-workers got me a cake and the 8 tech guys gave a rather poorly harmonized rendition of "Happy Birthday". It was cute and touching.
Tonight the girls are taking me to dinner at Red Lobster and then to do my favorite Birthday tradition - go see the new Disney movie. So nice of Disney/Pixar to release Wall-E on my birthday this year.
This being a milestone year I"m thinking I need to try to scrounge up the money to get a new tattoo. I've been thinking about what I want to get and where to get it. Still working on ideas but have come to the conclusion I want a rose. Yellow preferably, but with my skin tone I might just do black and white. I'm thinking yellow rose because that was the favorite rose of my mother and both my grandmothers.
I realized earlier in the week that I was starting to get seriously depressed and couldn't figure out why. I realized this morning that I'm depressed because my mom's not here. I know that she wasn't here for last year's either but last year I was so focused on my move into the Doma that it wasn't as prominent. This year it is. Mom always made it a special day for me. We always went out for my birthday to Red Lobster. Even when I lived in Rochester, she would come out the weekend before or after my birthday and we would go for dinner and then she'd take me shopping for something that I wanted but wouldn't get for myself (usually clothes).
It's silly. I mean I'm 35 years old today and all I really can think is "I miss my mommy."
But while family is gone, I still can celebrate the way she would have wanted me to, with the family I have now.
Tomorrow Grimm and I head to Pax. Not sure if one or both of the girls are coming with me. But it will be nice to go. And since they are allowing dogs, Grimm can be social too. Which is always a good thing.
So, back to the grind for a little longer and then off to enjoy the weekend.
Have a good weekend all.
