Things To Be Happy About

  • I have rawkin’ blog friends that give great advice (even though they might not all agree on that) :-)
  • Mr. Rawkstar and I had lunch with his parents (who’ve been married almost 30 years) and got a lot of great insight from them about making a relationship endure through hard times
  • I’ve begun to notice a difference in Mr. Rawkstar after said lunch and feel positive about things
  • Tomorrow I’m piling in a stretch SUV limo to celebrate my birthday and go wine tasting with 13 of my closest friends
  • On Sunday, we’re going to my mom’s with two other couples to enjoy the Italian feast she is preparing for my birthday
  • On Monday, Mr. Rawkstar is taking me to dinner at my favorite restaurant to have a romantic birthday celebration
  • Next Saturday, my mom has asked me to reserve the entire day for something extravagant she has planned for my birthday present
  • I am, yet again, having a birthWEEK, rather than a birthDAY…can you guess that I’m an only child?  LOL!
  • Although I don’t have a scale to prove it, I’m quite certain that I’ve lost about 7-8 pounds!
  • Even though I’m not really working right now (yes, AGAIN….mortgage is the WORST industry to be in right now!), we have 5 adorable pets to keep me company and entertain me throughout the day
  • Because I haven’t been working, I’ve had time to relax and almost fully recover from whatever illness was kicking my ass this week – just in time for all the fun to begin!

Sorry that I’ve been a bad blog friend lately and haven’t left many comments – I’ve been reading and trying to stay caught up, but my laptop keeps powering itself off after about 20 minutes of being on and my patience with that is wearing thin!  :-)   Have a great weekend everyone!

  1. First of all -

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

    I’m glad to hear that things are looking up. Talking with his parents was a great idea!

    Sorry to hear about the job though! The mortgage industry is insane right now. I’m amazed at the places shutting down – it’s just one after the other. I’m feeling pretty secure, but then again, I work for one of the big ones. Although, with the stuff out there about Countrywide, I guess it can happen anywhere. Good luck in the job hunt!

    Enjoy your birthday week! It sounds like you have a lot of fun stuff going on for it!

  2. Happy Birthday! I’m really glad to hear that things are looking up! really glad. :)

  3. what? only a birthWEEK? you can do a whole birthMONTH if you want to. try that next year.

  4. Happy Birthday/week! Hope you have a lot of fun! Glad to hear things are going well, minus the job of course!

  5. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! No need to apologize, because I can’t make comments on WordPress from work anymore (except on a very rare occasion), so I am feeling just as much of a slacker.

    Hope you have/had a fantastic day, and a wonderful birthweek. So glad to head things with the Mr. are going well, too. :)

  6. Good news! I hope you use the money you saved from not buying any lame books to have an awesome birthday!
