Ummm . . . insert interesting title here

I've pretty much decided that the headaches may be glasses related. I went to get them adjusted at Target and the lady got a little too intense about them not touching my scar and not enough attention to them staying on my face. I'll have to go back again. Sigh.

This weekend was fantastic! Joni went to dinner and dessert with us, hung out for a few hours, watched High School Musical (cuz she'd never seen it), and got to try my favorite food (runzas). For my birthday present (as if coming to TX were not enough) she got me "If Life Were Easy, It Wouldn't Be Hard" by Sheri Dew. She said the title seemed fitting for me. I agreed with her. Something I realized this weekend is that I'm pretty boring right now. We'd be sitting there and all I can think is 'why can't you come up with something interesting to talk about? Good grief you're boring.' That's okay because we had Richard there making jokes most of the time. And if you've never watched HSM with Richard, it is hilarious!

Something I realized today is that I seem to like to tell people that I have had brain surgery 3 times this year. I don't know, maybe because of the intense reactions I get from people I don't even know. I wonder if I'll grow tired of it when I go back to work?

Only 5 more days til I find out what the surgeon thinks. I'm praying pretty intently for the tumor to be gone, but I have to be sure that it's Heavenly Father's will. I can usually tell, but I guess I'm not in the right frame of mind on this one. That's okay, whatever He decides I feel like I'll be cool with it now. That's at least a good thing.

My birthday!

I figure since I won't have time to write after Joni gets here - I better do that now!

Let's see - I went to bed at 11:45 and woke up at 5:00 to go to the bathroom. I couldn't go back to sleep because of another stupid headache so Richard and I watched "8 Legged Freaks". Totally should have been one of those Scify original movies. (Dad you would have loved it!) It was about giant spiders that took over a town. The best part? Each "little" spider made noises - kinda high-pitched, squeaky noises. It was hilarious!

Next we were supposed to run some errands but with so little sleep I felt like I was going to barf. So Richard ran the first errands and I went back to bed for an hour. He came home and we left for other errands. While we were gone my visiting teacher came by with a balloon and card and candy. How cool is that? She is simply the sweetest kindest friend!

One of our errands was to Kohl's for my birthday presents. My mother convinced me that 'someone my age' shouldn't wear t-shirts that are plain, ugly t-shirts. She convinced me that I should wear t-shirts that are actually decorated like a girl should wear it. So I went and got myself a few at Kohls. And while I was there I got one of their Kohls Cares for Kids toys. What fun presents.


I think my mom may have this same shirt.


It's totally Rex from Toy Story. He's awfully cute!

Meanwhile on facebook I've received 51 happy birthday posts and texts from my family members and my nephew calling on his way to school!! How loved do I feel?! Very loved and it's only 12:30.

It's raining right now. My plans for the rest of the day are to lay low until Joni gets here then go to dinner then go to Cheesecake Factory!! And maybe still having a little karaoke when we get home tonight. What a beautiful day!
