29 and counting.

I’ve been 29 for 3 whole days now.

Yep, feels about the same as 28 did.  And 27, 26, 25, etc.

30 next year?  Yeah, bring it.  Sure, I’m not married or have babies nor do I have that college degree and amazingly successful career like I’d planned.  Buuuuuuuuuut life is funny like that.

Instead I am working on spending year number 8 with my Matt.  I will celebrate my 5th anniversary with Micron in August.  Widget will turn 5 in May.  I’m going to work on that whole degree thing again(maybe).

So, I’ve met some of those ‘goals’ but not in the exact same terms.  The real question is had I met them would I be as happy as I am now?  Oh, what-ifs, you slay me.

Anywho.  My actual birthday was quite nice.  It was very lazy and laid back, right up my alley.  I received gifts in the mail a few days prior to my actual birthday which included a cute set of hand towels for the kitchen from Sarah, a warm scarf and hat from my parents and a DVD of the BBC version of Emma from my Stephanie.  🙂  Matt gave me a new Fossil watch and some items I’d requested from LUSH!  I went out to dinner Friday evening with Tammy, Derek, Pete and Matt at Bertucci’s for Italian.  Very tasty.

I fell off the work-out wagon this week and am a bit disappointed in myself.  I haven’t been eating outrageously bad so at least I have that going for me.  I’ve been successful on the cutting back of the drinking so there’s that as well.  I had a beer last night during dinner while we were watching the Super Bowl but turned down a 2nd.  Amazing, no?  I will get back on the elliptical tonight, I need to.  I am seeing some progress in myself, I feel less bloated and am not as jiggly as I was before.  I think I might look OK in a bathing suit this summer.

The only bummer thing that has happened this week was one of my teeth chipping on Friday night.  I was at home after dinner and was munching on a soft peppermint stick.  I was munching on a piece of it when it felt a lot more, ah, crunchy than usual.  I was like oh my gosh, did part of a tooth just fall out?  And sure enough a part of my tooth HAD fallen out.   I don’t know the actual tooth name but it’s 3rd over from my left front tooth.  Definitely not as bad as it could have been nor was it painful.  I have the worst teeth, you guys.  They just fall right out!  I need to call my dentist to see if he can fit me in tomorrow to fix me up.

So 8 years ago today I spent the first day of my first weekend with Matt.  We shared our first kiss on the 8th.  We don’t really do anniversaries but I might do something a little special for Matt today.  Like find him a new ‘Sunday Shirt’ since we’re not exactly sure what happened to his old one.  Ah, I wonder if he even remembers the whole Sunday Shirt thing!  For our first Valentine’s Day together I ordered him a pair of GAP PJ pants(which he still has) and a plain blue t-shirt.  Matt has these amazing blue eyes so I thought the blue shirt would go well with them.  He loved his gifts and always wore that t-shirt on Sundays thus it was dubbed the Sunday Shirt.  I am pretty sure it was accidentally left in Laughlin during one of our excursions down there but who knows for sure.  Perhaps we’ll journey out to Woodbridge today to see if there is something similar.  I think he’d like it. 🙂

Speaking of Valentine’s Day I ordered some new lingerie!  Squee!  Nothing too fancy or anything, just a babydoll and undie set from Victoria’s Secret since I had a $10 giftcard from them for my birthday as I am an Angel cardholder.  It’s dark blue and lacy, I think that Matt will like it very much.  I am awaiting a massage bar for us to use as well, it is coming from LUSH.  It’ll be our first one, hope it’s loverly.  Don’t really have any other V-Day plans, not that big of a dealio for me.  However on the 13th I am going to see Jimmy Eat World at the 9:30 Club with Matt. 🙂  Get to cash in my Christmas gift from him – yippee!

Alright I need to go shower and get ready for my sushi date with my buddy Johnny5 at noon.  Later taters!
