1. Hey, baby, what's your sign? Do you think it fits you pretty well?
Virgo. I'm definitely a Virgo.

2. What's the worst birthday gift you've ever received?
I went to Greeley to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend while I was back living at home to do my student teaching in Aurora. First he took me to dinner, gave me a walkman, then told me he was sleeping with someone else and didn't want to see me anymore.

3. What's the best birthday gift you've ever received?
We celebrate our friend Mike's and my birthdays at a joint party every year since the two are only a week apart. At the first one we had after Marcus and I started going out, he replaced my entire Van Halen vinyl record collection with CD's.

4. What's the best way you've celebrated your birthday thus far?
At the same party mentioned above, he sprung for a female stripper for Mike and a male stripper for me. They arrived as a couple and Mike thought they were friends of mine and I thought they were friends of his. SUPRISE! It was a hoot!

5. What are your plans for this weekend?
Working and housecleaning. Marcus' folks are coming in less than a month.

I had a pretty good day today. Every now and then I just get the urge and I take off driving somewhere. I didn't have much to do at work. I had planned to go to my dad's, but since I left the stuff I needed to take to him at home, I headed for Colorado Springs. It drives Marcus crazy when I do that. We used to live down there and I kind of miss it. It's so dang pretty there. I love looking off to the west and seeing Pike's Peak looming there. If I had a really good paying job, I wouldn't mind living there again. We were really, really, really poor the last time. I used to sell my plasma so we could eat every week. *shudder* I used to doorhang flyers on people's doors, too. I was amazed how familiar all those neighborhoods I used to walk were. It's been like seven or eight years since we lived there. I was also floored by how big the Springs has gotten. Oh, well. They got some snow last night. I like checking out craft stores, so I did that. A lot of the stores I used to frequent are totally gone now. I was kind of sad. I guess they can't compete with Hobby Lobby, Michaels and WalMart. :(

I cut Marcus' hair for him tonight. I also cut my knuckle. Owwww. I messed up the back a bit, but that's the risk he takes to save a few bucks. I'm all covered in tiny little hairs and I itch like crazy, but I can't take a shower until he cleans up the mess of hair in the bathroom. We also discovered (at a really bad time) that we are out of vacuum cleaner bags and the one in the vacuum is totally full. I wish the somebody who used the last bag would've mentioned it. Oh, well, I'll get some tomorrow.

I saw something really funny today. I was behind one of those trucks that pump out septic systems. I think the company was Colorado Pumping. Anyway, the saying painted on the back said "A Royal Flush beats a Full House." Hee Hee

It's palindrome time:

I've been waiting up just so I could do that! LOL I'm going to bed now since I've been up since 3 a.m.

OMG, these are too funny! So are these!

I haven't been watching the Olympics, but I was just channel-surfing and they're doing something called the Skeleton. Are these guys crazy? You'd have to be. These dudes go face first down a bobsled/luge type track on a tiny little sled. Eeeek! The only way to stop is drag your feet or hit the pile of snow at the end. That's nuts.
