Well, even though I wasn't looking forward to it and didn't even really want to celebrate it, this year's birthday turned out ok. Last night we had dinner at Mike & Nina's house where she served Chicken Cordon Bleu (Nina is the Chicken Cordon Bleu Queen!) and a Coffe House Crunch™ cake from Cold Stone. The cake gave me a super sugar buzz. They gave me a cool Logitech MX1000 Laser Cordless Mouse that I wanted from my wishlist. I'm using it now. This thing is su-weet! Today Marcus took me to Bicycle Village to get me a bike. I picked out a Trek 820. It's yellow/black/white and kind of matches the ol' Baja. I really wanted the blue/silver/black one, but they didn't have one in my size. Oh, well...so be it. I just need something that I can get some excercise on and ride a little with Marcus. We just got home from dinner out with Dad. We went to Sam Taylor's BBQ (Marcus had never been there) and as ususal, the food was excellent! As soon as Marcus is done working on someone's computer, we'll retire to the couch to watch some Monk on DVD before I have to go to bed. All in all, not a bad way to spend my 39th birthday. So, though I have stories of woe I want to write about, I'll keep them until another day.
