Clean Slate Monday.
thank goodness.

First of all, Happy Birthday yesterday to this exceedingly handsome man!

He’s smiling in this picture. You can’t see it in his mouth, but you can in his eyes. He thinks I’m really funny. He’s gotten so tired of smiling all the time, that he’s simplified it and just does it with his eyes. Easier on the facial muscles. I don’t blame him. Smiling that much for so many years was really hard on him.

Tonight I’m going to take him on a date. I’m sure we will be eating a delicious dinner. That is always first on the list. Other than that? I don’t know… a movie, perhaps. Or bowling? Dunno. Whatever it is, I’m sure he will be exhausted after all the eyesmiles. We don’t get out often, so I’m really looking forward to it. I mean, WE’RE really looking forward to it. It is HIS birthday, after all.

Glad to be starting a new week. Sorry to leave the dumb migraine post up for so long. But it was a down week for me, and I didn’t really feel like posting about it. No particular reason to be down, and I’m ok now, so mom… really, I’m fine… It was just one of those weeks were I didn’t feel up to the task of being myself. Too tired to deal with my life, trapped under a pile of chores that I didn’t have the energy to face. And then, the guilt.. because it always comes with feeling bad…that’s the worst part. But Dave stayed up until midnight last night, on his birthday, helping me with something that was stressing me out. That act of service gave me the fuel I needed to attack the rest of the pile, and I’m confident that this week will be the opposite of last week.

Here’s to clean slates and handsome men and birthdays!!
