Who's b-day is it?


We made it back safely to TX a little tired and worn out from the two 8 to 10 hours days in the car. It was weird to drive back with just the girls, we put them next to each other for the ride back home to keep it easier to wrangle them. The dogs had the run of the back row as we put the seat down and had the back area open (well somewhat open, with the luggage and such). Today is my 38th b-day. Older but not "40" yet, so I still have time before I have to grow up. All I wanted was to go out to a nice dinner, Papa Herman, Lois, Glenn the girls and I went to Red Lobster. I have not been to one in about 10 years, or so. I really wanted lobster for my birthday ( I love the water bugs). I had lobster, with grilled shrimp, and Alaskan king crab legs (Yummy!) It was a nice meal topped off with a strawberry margarita. When we came home we lit a candle and I blew it out in lieu of a cake, (as Glenn and the girls had not baked me a cake yet). Lois, Papa's girlfriend gave me a beautiful vase full of flowers, and my dad gave me a card along with some money in it. I really don't need anything now that I am an adult/parent but it was nice to know that I had some money to be able to spend on something just for me. The only part of my b-day that I missed was not having my big boy around to give me a hug. I do miss my man, Akorren. I guess I'll just have to hug his daddy instead. Here we are waiting for our food to come, don't we look cute?
