decisions, decisions

so i was going to come on here and post these two beyonce songs that i am surprised by how much i really, really like. there wasn't much of a story to go with them...other than i spend A LOT of time in the car lately and so i think A LOT about music. but maybe later...

then i thought about posting about how many people told me happy birthday yesterday, on my actual birthday. and then there was a call the day before and a call today, too...so it was crazy cool to hear from so many folks...fun times.

my conversation with my dad today--he's the one who called to wish me happy day after my birthday--was blog-worthy, i think. i love him. and he was actually trying to impart some wisdom, quizzing me on what i'd say in certain situations he's handled at work....it was kind of fun. i mean, i was mostly wrong, but i did learn some stuff...

i've also been thinking a lot about the responsibility of marriage and the responsibility of parenting and how hard it is to balance the two when you have both responsibilities... but, kids are kids and adults are adults...so i guess that's kind of clear to me.

and i COULD do another whine about how busy i am...there's ALWAYS that to talk about...

oh, and i did get on the treadmill today. two miles. that felt good. really, really good. and i had a few musings while on there (after thinking last night about how i hadn't had treadmill musings in FOREVER...).

and my spouse cut my hair today...like five inches gone. and that feels amazing.

but i really think all i have to say is 35 isn't so bad.

peace

Oh fuck! We missed your birthday?! I am so sorry. :( The birthdays on apu get missed left and right. I think whomever is having their birthday should post their own thread and their own kids' birthday threads so no one gets missed. I feel awful! They're all on the calendar but I can't keep up with them all. :(

Happy birthday, honey. I love you. ♥

no, no, no...don't feel bad you missed my birthday. you didn't miss it...i still have people calling to wish me happy birthday...people who gave birth to me, or shared a uterus with me (well, not at the same time...just ultimately, you know? meaning i'm not a twin...ugh...driving myself nuts here...haha)

anyway...thank you for the wishes and i love you both!!!!! really. i mean it. (ala helen from margaret and helen)
