Birthday Things

Wednesday was my birthday.   It was the first birthday where Ian’s been in the same country (and even in the same house) with me on my birthday.  It was nice to be able to celebrate with him and The Little Kid.

I got some nice presents, including a Cuttlebug that I can use with my cardmaking.    TLK and I had fun making cut-out butterflies and frogs, and playing with embossing, which I must say… using a machine to emboss is much easier than hand-embossing… more dramatic and less painful.  🙂

The people at work bought me an ice cream cake and my friend put a banner on my cubicle so everyone knew.    I received flowers from my family in Texas and the funniest card from my family in Kansas.   I put a call into my parents via Skype, but had to leave a message.  Not sure if they’ll hear the voice mail.  My dad says he can’t get through the Italian prompts.. but maybe he can by now.  🙂

We went to Applebees for dinner, which was nice.  They have good steaks and something wonderful called “Peach Sangria”  🙂  Yum

Oh, and everyone I knew on FB said, “Happy Birthday”, which was fun.  😀

Overall, a really good day.   It is good to be 23 again.  “Mommy counts backwards now”.  LOL.

Love is Good

Good things are coming around the corner. I’m ready for change. I’m ready for trust and reliability and fun and just “getting it”, where life is concerned. Couple-ness. Working toward a goal where “WE” are the goal and being excited to grab for the brass ring.

There are times when he scoops me up in the safety of his arms, even from remote, and whatever is going on in the rest of the world falls away into incoherent drivel.

There are moments when I am silently struggling with the meaning of life, or something on a smaller scale, and a note arrives, unprompted, saying he feels lucky to have me in his life, and I know the sincerity drips from his words.

He believes in love, being there, sharing more than words can share, being concerned, insightful, attempting to keep me on the right path; the one which makes sense. Thank you for that. I love you.

Lisa’s tips to get through tomorrow:
1. Put your heart into what you’re doing, or find something you can put your heart into.
2. Think positively about tomorrow; put yesterday in a box and seal it up with duct tape.
3. Call your family
4. Hope for the best thing you can think of to happen. If it doesn’t. make it happen.
5. Love, love, love who is in your life and what you are accomplishing by knowing these people.
