Did I mention it’s my birthday today? Still not quite 30. I’m embracing the label “thirty-ish” though, possibly because if I start with it now, I can hang on to it for a few years. And we all know I’m lazy and can’t be bothered to think about how old I am every single year.

Dane planned a lovely day of surprises for me, including him taking the day off work, getting up early with the kids, picking up bagels for breakfast, taking the kids to play at a friend’s house all day, and driving me around town from one delightful thing to the next! Things he didn’t plan on that happened anyway included us mopping the kitchen floor while the kids were out of the house and some poor woman getting fired from her job for offending me (yes, really! Not at my request or anything! I was just The Last Straw). And now you can’t wait to read more about THAT, right? Right?

But it’s STILL my birthday, so I think I’ll go enjoy more of it right now, and tell you all about it later.
