Happy Birthday to me!

So, my parents are gone now. The 'very long time' I was referring to will be three years, as they are moving overseas. This is the longest I have gone without them, but I know I will survive. Besides, they are giving us a webcam for skype so that we can stay in good contact. It's kind of a birthday present for me.
Yeah, my birthday was yesterday! Guess what I did? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING... and loved every minute of it. From the time I woke up to the time I went to sleep, I read non-stop with only a few breaks for bathroom and food.
I finished New Moon, the second in the Twilight Saga. No, I am not one of those girls. I am not that obsessed. But I must say, they are very good books and they suck you in. Know I just have to wait till I get around to getting (or borrowing) the third book. I am not one to just go out and buy it, unless it is seriously on sale. I have yet to see the movie, I know it won't be quite as good as the book, but I look forward to seeing it (them) anyways.
My parents took me out to eat before they left on Sunday. When dessert was brought out, a chocolate tallcake that we could all enjoy, my dad made the comment about it being my birthday. I completely blew it off like "yeah right, it's not my birthday", not even comprehending that my birthday actually was only 2 days away! I had no idea how it crept up on me so quickly.
My husband brought me home chinese yesterday, which I had requested, and completely stuffed myself on. And my mother-in-law took me to lunch today. It was spectacular! I feel so loved (and bloated.. lol) <3
Oh, and thanks to everyone that called and texted to wish me a Happy Birthday!
