We talked in the dark last night, laying facing each other, discussing our pending birthdays. He asked me what I wanted. I told him of a few things on my wishlist I had in mind. He is big on celebrating my birthday. We don’t do cake and all that but taking me some place is his thing. He knows I’ve never had much done for me in the way of my birthday. My mom was too busy or broke and my dad was too far away to do much more then send a card stuffed with guilt money.

So this year he asked what I wanted. We are going to look at a few things for my crafting and I want to go to the movies. He would sit thru “New Moon” with me if it was out but I think I want to go to “The Final Destination” or “Sorority Row”. He knows I love a good slasher flick. His only request for his birthday, wood to finish the deck……..and my help. I think I’ll even couple it with a 6pack of beer and pizza.

My expectations for this years birthday are greatly diminished. Last year was the first time I’d ever had things come to me from others. I cried with each box and still have everything thing I got. I’ve yet to make the scissor thing that Deb got for me. I even went out and bought the fabric for it. I’m horribly intimidated by it. I still have the book and stuff from Gina too. The items Bill sent are still where they belong, though I try not to think of where they came from so much as how I got them.

Nems is trying hard to keep me upbeat and busy. We have gamed a great deal this week and I will likely spend most of Monday on WoW with her, within reason of course. I have a 1000 things to Monday but will make time to get them done along with gaming.

This weekend will be wet and rainy it seems. I think the Wii will get a good work out. I bought Mortal Kombat Armageddon with trade ins of old Wii games and a couple of our DS games. We all love it and get a kick out of the fatality moves we can do. I think we will drag out a few things from the garage too and try to find the Halloween stuff early so we aren’t struggling to find it all just days before its needed.

As for today, I am going to retreat to my recliner, stitch quiet while watching movies and enjoy the dark quiet house.
