Anything But Gray

And it's starting out fantastic!

We went out last night for my birthday and it was an absolute blast.
It was me, Zak, Steve, Shelly, my sister and Rick…Bob came for a little while and James came for a bit too. James had to go and it was a bummer because he just missed Dave and Wanda by minutes.
Did you see that? Did you see who I just said James missed by minutes??
Dave and Wanda….
Yes, they came for my birthday!!!!!
Holy crap, I couldn't believe it and we had an absolute BLAST.
I was so unbelievably happy they showed up….my cheeks hurt from smiling!
The whole way home, I must've said a million times…."I can't believe they came! I can't believe they showed up! I am so happy they were there!!!!"
I was so happy everyone who came, was there.
It is so nice to celebrate your birthday with people you really care about and I haven't gotten to get out to a bar yet, since we've been here, so it was just…..awesome. LOL I already can't wait to do it again….:-) I so love going out to the bars, especially now that there isn't smoking in the bars. Although as a principal I am so utterly against the government dictating what can and can't be done in a privately owned establishment, I do love not chain smoking, smelling all nasty in the morning and my chest hurting from smoking too damn much. I love the music, the dancing, the people….I just love going out and I've missed it since we've left Alaska.
 
And as much fun as I had….it was weird not partying with Ceci, JR and Alaska Kim on my bday. They have been the always there people at my birthdays for years and it was a little weird to not have them there. It definately felt like something was missing….of course I drank enough to numb that feeling, so it was all good! LOL I just had to say, they were missed….:-) 

The only bad thing….I could've lived without my fat ass falling on the dance floor with Shelly….but there is always one of them a night at the bar and what the hell….it's never been me, so that was a first and I can dig that. ha!

Then I woke up this morning to both of the kids in bed with us…very cool.
And now Zak just said that breakfast is ready….
steak, eggs, bacon, toast for me because it's my birthday!!! YAY!!!!  Yummy!!

So off to eat and I'll post more later!
