meredith's garden

so i made it awake long enough to go bowling last night :) yay!! kj and i also went out to dinner for my bday which was fabulous. we went to that's amore... love it! i actually stepped out of my box and didn't have angel hair and plain sauce- believe it or not! it was so good to be out amongst people- i'm glad i was able to nap during the day so that i could do it. and today, i get to go to my sister's house and have bday dinner and cupcakes. yum!! and of course there will be presents. because i am a whore for presents. presents make me very happy. gil got me a bunch of presents already- he got me 2 new cd's, and season 1 of 30 rock, and a peace t-shirt, and a super obnoxious and awesome peace hat. of course my freakishly small head is too small, so michelle and jenna are going to get hit up for some sewing help come monday ;) aren't you guys glad you're stuck with me?

this morning kj and the girls brought me breakfast in bed- bagels and a gigantic chai. which symma was very careful to report had "no foam". which is just how i always order it :) i also introduced her to the birthday "rule" that if she's mean or sassy to someone on their birthday it means less presents for her on *her* bday. we'll see if that holds an weight or not as the day goes on... i'm not holding my breath!

kj took the girls to church, and i'm supposed to be doing my taxes right now. i don't wanna. but in the middle of the night it hit me that if it's my bday, then that means taxes are due in 10 days. sucks to be me. the good news is that izzy was born in january, so we get an extra deduction this year :) ugh. wish me luck...
