My birthday was great, first I headed over to my Uncle's house for snacks and opened presents, a new watch, a gift card to Best Buy & a wall decoration for my kitchen. Then we went to Red Lobster and stuffed ourselves. After coming home to let the dogs in we went bowling and I won 2 games in a row. Kenny had a chocolate birthday cake for me with a "4-0" on top, I thanked him for no tacky "over the hill" gag gifts, like dentures with little teeth attached or a sign that said "Lordy, lordy Michelle's turning forty" or any of that shit, then I go to blow my candles out and they're trick candles. Lovely! At least the cake was good, we sat around eating cake and watching videos on Youtube, like the Angry Grandpa, classic.

I can't believe I'm 40 years old. It's like I'm officially another middle-aged lesbian or something. Everyone tells me I don't look it, but it doesn't change what it says on my driver's license. I just keep telling myself, Jennifer Anniston is 41 and one of the most desirable women in the country. Anyway my Uncle is taking me out to dinner, and maybe going to see the most recent Twilight movie afterwards, I have the book which I'm waiting to read after I see the movie. Lately I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks as opposed to reading hard copies, you can do it on the treadmill or bike without getting a headache.
The Bloodmobile turned me down again. I don't think trying to donate at 6:00 in the evening when I haven't eaten since 12:00 is such a good idea. From now on, I'm going to try to donate on the weekend. Maybe tomorrow after my free Denny's Grand Slam.

It's a winter wonderland here in Atlanta, I took this picture on my cell phone today on my way home from work. It's funny, growing up in the Cincinnati area, a few inches of snow was no big deal, but here, we get to go home 2 hours early. Now I'm just sitting at home watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic games, so far they're better than the Summer Opening ceremonies in China 2 years ago. So sad to hear about that 21 year old that died during his practice run. What the hell is curling? It looks like shuffleboard on ice. I'm wondering who will light the cauldron, I thought it would be Wayne Gretsky, but it doesn't look that way now. Who's bigger than Wayne Gretsky in Canada?

Now that I don't spend 8 hours a day in front of the computer, my blogs don't come as quickly, but I'll try to keep up. I came in 2nd place at the poker tournament and won $60 in gift certificates to the Hookah lounge here in Atlanta, so that was pretty cool. A close friend of mine had emergency surgery to repair a hole in her stomach a few days ago, but she's in recovery and I'm going to visit her today. Looks like I can start my volunteer work at the Hospice this weekend, after my training.
Michael Vick is in the news again for some stupid reason, I wish he would just shut up and go away. Ditto for Sarah Palin. Maybe those two should hook up.
