Happy Birthday, Heather!

Thanks Everyone!

I've certainly had better ones, but it's nice to be remembered.

My daughter and I started with a big argument because all her "twirly"
dresses were in the laundry and I ended up late for work after forcing her
to wear a sundress set that she discovered is actually "twirly." She's
smart, stubborn and I've been letting her push me around too long so I'm
paying the price now.  She's not a bad kid, she just likes to get her own
way, which I totally understand because I do to.  I just don't get the
prissy/girly stuff as I was more of a tom-boy even at three.

At least work was nice as they got me cake and cards and we spent a large
portion of the day in meetings about fun stuff like hiring a new
professional tutor for our team and picking the colors for our office
remodeling project - we're going with red, black and shades of grey - very
Ohio State.

We went out for fast food Italian - my husband promised a nicer dinner this
weekend but he couldn't handle a big meal because of the heat - and when we
got home found the electric was off - including the water.  It was too hot
to stay inside so we spent the rest of the evening at the local park,
watching a pathetic T-ball game and my daughter play on the swings and
slides.  Thankfully, she was tired and happy enough not to fight about
bedtime.

The dogs got me up at 1:45 am and 15 minutes later the power came back on so
I set the fans back in the windows and took a nice shower.  Today it looks
like it might storm and it's supposed to cool off.  My parents are meeting
us at a State Park for a birthday picnic this weekend too.  Even at 36, I
still like to milk birthdays for all they're worth.  That reminds me, I
still need to order my HP Movie Poster book from Amazon.
