Yesterday was my birthday and I turned 38 - again! Funny how that works. It's not that I am ashamed of my age; it's just that I am to the point where I don't think it is really anyone's business. Kind of like espionage: my age is on a "need to know" basis and most people simply don't need to know.
Since my birthday was in the middle of the week, normal life still had to go on for the most part. Mom called me just after James and Aidan left to meet the bus, to wish me "happy birthday" before our respective days got busy. I spent my usual Wednesday morning in Aidan's class, then went to pick up my birthday cake - carrot cake, yum. While out, I also picked up a free birthday burrito from Moe's. Sure I came home and ate it by myself, but it sure was good. And free.
Aidan brought home happy birthday news that he had been good in school, for the third day in a row. And James' manager sent him home early in honor of my birthday - well, he was home by 3:45 - so I did not have to prepare dinner. Instead, we got pizza from one of my favorite places, which makes a New York style pizza pie. Yum, followed by more yum with the cake.
I received some very nice presents and lots of cards both traditional and electronic, so it was a lovely day all around.
But I am still NOT a year older.

Shiver, shiver, BRRR!
Go ahead, readers in the northern part of the continent, laugh. If circumstances were reversed, I would laugh, too!
It's cold here this morning - 35 right now. For north central Georgia (or however else this area is described), that is cold for a morning in mid-April. Yesterday was a chilly 60 with a brisk wind (although it did make the yard work not quite as awful); today's high should be around 50. All in all, not exactly the arctic but considering that on Friday the high was around 78 and it was lovely, this sudden plunge in temps is just downright rude.
And, we run the risk of a freeze either tonight and/or tomorrow night. As usual, James has been mad to get his garden planted so we already have ten tomato plants, corn, a strawberry plant, and tiny seedlings of carrots, radishes, eggplant, beans and turnips (don't ask me why he planted turnips - none of us like it). So this evening may find us scrambling for ways to cover our plants and protect them from the cold!
Excuse me while I try to find a long-sleeve shirt to wear today...
