Happy Birthday Celebration

Today’s weigh-in: 115.8 lbs

Last night my family, friends and i celebrated my 30th birthday due to the fact everyone would have been busy on the 7th, my actual date of birth due to it being a week day.  So my husband, I, my friend Tara, my parents and my Aunt all went out to celebrate my birthday at a place called The Melting Pot.  It’s a fancy fondue place.  VERY nice place.  My mom made the reservations and asked to get the birthday package.  I arrived at the table and found balloons and a package with a card.  It was a very nice evening, though I had three 8 oz glasses of wine.  The wine helped me be personable.

I ate what I considered too much, but with my weight being the same these past few days, I wasn’t very sad when I stood on the scale expecting to see two lbs heavier then I was two days ago.  I was delightfully surprised when it read 115.8 lbs.  I didn’t gain an atrocious amount like i was thought I was going to.

My parents and Aunt gave me a card and a gift each.  My friend, Tara, did not.  And what surprised me the most, my husband didn’t give me anything….not a card, nothing.  He did however, within the past few minutes, ordered me a new laptop with Windows 8 on it.  I’m very excited about that, so he ordered me that.  I was just surprised when he never gave me anything at all.  Hmmmm.

I always make January 7th my personal New Year’s.  It gives me 7 days to see how well I last with resolutions.  Too bad this year’s only resolution was to be a different, preferably LOWER weight then what I started off with.

My brother tried to contact me via text message when I was working trying to get me to talk to him to see if I would talk to my nephews.  I was working, so no, I couldn’t.  I responded on my lunch break.  Then last night over dinner, my Mom told me she had Skyped with my brother, his 4th wife and my nephews.  I was surprised because the last time I talked to him, my brother, he told me he would contact me to speak to the boys at my parents house via Skype.  He obviously didn’t.  He texted me on Thursday last week.  I was not off work and could not contact him back RIGHT THEN like I can only assume he was expecting.  He could have let me know to be at my parents house at a certain time and I could have Skyped with the nephews then.  He probably still thinks he has a chance of rekindling a relationship with me….nope.  Sorry.  Not with this girl.  I know how you are and who you are and I want NOTHING to do with you.
