Look What I Got For My Birthday May 14, 2005

What could be more perfect for a girl in the 2ww than that? I actually sort of panicked at first, because it seems that there’s some kind of run on FREDs this weekend. It took trips to three different stores to finally find one that had any in stock. I won’t be breaking them out yet. That’s not how I want to spend my birthday or our upcoming anniversary. They won’t stand a chance after that, though.

So, another year older, another year… umm. I don’t know about wiser, but it’s definitely been quite a year. Tonight my hubby and I are going to see the Houston Ballet. I couldn’t think of a nicer way to spend my birthday.

It’s pretty damn obvious what I’m wishing for this year. Oh, man. Please let it come true.

Happy Birthday, dear Amanda! I very much hope you get your wish. And that the next few days go by FAST! Have fun at the ballet. It must be interesting, as a dancer yourself, to watch ballet. Are you thinking “I could do better that that?”

Thanks Amy. Hell no, I won’t be thinking that. We’re going to see the Houston Ballet. They’re an awesome professional company. I’ll be thinking “I wish I could do that.” It’s always bittersweet for me to go to the Ballet since I can’t dance anymore, but I absolutely love it nonetheless.

Enjoy the ballet and may your birthday wishes come true!

Just read a book called Mao’s Last Dancer– and autobiography by Li Cunxin who spent many years with the Houston Ballet. Not brilliantly written and a bit too ideologically adoring of the first Bush’s and capitalism in general for my taste, but still interesting if you like reading about dance.

Happy Birthday Amanda. I admire your self restraint with the HPT’s. I’ve never been able to have them in the house and not use them.

I hope you are having a great night out with DH!

Happy birthday and when is your anniversary? Ours is next Monday and I’m kind of dreading it. No baby anywhere in sight - not what I had planned for this day a year ago. I hope you get good news on yours, instead!
