Happy Birthday to Me...

Well, my birthday is finally here--only one more year till the big 3-0! It's been a fun day, even though I had to work. Ian has been stringing out my presents. So far he's given me Labyrinth (you know, that old David Bowie/Jennifer Connelly movie).** And then he and my coworkers tricked me at lunch. I thought I was having lunch with Ian and a couple of friends at Freddie's, and all the way to lunch I complained that no one in my office had wished me a happy birthday. A couple of minutes after we got there, my office showed up to "take me out to lunch." Then my mom and my brother, Kyle, called. And I've gotten a couple of birthday e-mails from friends. Soon we'll be going out to dinner with some other friends (one of which shares my birthday--so strange!).

I haven't received my Le Creuset pot yet, but I don't really expect to since it costs almost as much as my beloved iPod Mini did. I'll just save up my birthday money for it... :-)

I love birthdays!

**How can you not love Labyrinth??? One of my favorite lines in a song is in this movie--"Slap that baby, make him pee!"

my best friend and i can still duet one of those songs:

you remind me of the babe.
what babe?
the babe with the power.
what power?
the power of voo-doo
who do?
you do!
do what?
remind me of the babe

i haven't seen it in so long so i have no idea what that's really referencing ... suppose that's all the more reason to rent it tonight!! thanks for bringing me back :)

I am so glad that I found someone else who appreciates this movie! Ian just rolls his eyes and says, "You grew up on some really weird movies." And I tell him our children will grow up watching these movies (including The Neverending Story) and they will like them!
