Monday Mumbles

Happpppy Monday everyone!!!

1. First, Happy Birthday to me! Yep, I’m 30 today. It’s a bit sad but I’m trying to accept it and keep enjoying my day.

2. It’s been a good Monday and b-day so far. I got to work at a good time and the paper is done for the day.

3. I can’t believe I’m 30. It sounds so old. I was ok being in my middle, then late 20s. But 30...yikes!

4. Happy belated birthday to my niece. She turned 2 yesterday and from what I heard, she had a fun day of playing outside. She got some cool presents, too.

5. My girlfriend gave me part of my b-day gift last week. She bought me the DVD of the movie “Safe House” - great movie. Then last night at midnight, I got the other part. It’s an ATARI!!!  Yep, an old school looking Atari that you just plug into your tv and it has around 60 games. I played it at lunch - loved it. My gf is awesome. She knew I wanted it and she got it. Love you babe!!

6. My mom and her 2 sisters (my aunts) came up for the weekend. Our 3rd straight weekend with visitors and we got more this weekend. Yay! It was fun seeing them and hanging out, though a bit crazy as expected. They bought me lunch Saturday, a b-day dinner Saturday and lunch yesterday. We all went to the local casino for an hour Saturday just to goof around - I lost $20, oh well.

7. My dad called me this morning at 8 a.m. When I wasn’t living with him, he’d always call on my bday. He does with us kids and his grandkids. Thanks for the call and happy birthday wishes dad!

8. My mom and aunts brought my gf and I furniture — a bed (mom moved and didn’t need it) and a love seat (gma bought it at an estate sale). Thank you all very much! My gf and I also bought a small table and chairs (really benches) for $65 at a 2nd hand store in town. The house (apartment) looks totally different from Thursday, but it looks more like a home.

9. My gf really likes watching me play video games. How many guys can say that? OK, she likes watching most games but she really likes watching and helping me play the newest Splinter Cell game. It’s a 1st-person shooter game, where you’re a CIA special ops guy (well rogue CIA guy in this one), but it’s a thinking game where you have to figure things out to move on to new rooms or places. There is a puzzle aspect that she loves. It’s a great game series, too.

10. Happy Birthday to Joe Montana, Gene Wilder, Hugh Laurie, Ryan Dunn, Joshua Jackson, Diana Taurasi (same year as me), José Reyes, Shia LaBeouf and the late-great Vince Lombardi.

You would share a birthday with Lombardi. :) Sorry we forgot to call - I thought about it at 7pm but then bedtimes got started and I completely forgot. :( Don't sweat the 30s. From what I hear, they're the best yet. I'm midway through and I guess...umm....okay, so we're old.
