Life is good

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving this year was awesome.  Very low key with no white trash, sarcastic, not enough alcohol to dull the pain that is unwanted family members.  Doug's family wasn't there, and mother was invited (yay).  Dad came home in time to enjoy Thanksgiving at home and life was good.  We were still sober at the end of the night too.  Which was even better.

The BIG 40
So I turned 40 on Saturday.  Don't know exactly how a 40 year old is supposed to feel, but I don't feel any older and I might have a few more wrinkles and more grey hair coming in.  But I survived the big one.  I was extremely excited about two of the coolest birthday gifts ever!!!

April and Doug got me a vinyl bowl.  Yes it's an actual record made into a bowl.  It's going in my cd room.

Craig found and framed an Aerosmith poster for me.  Everybody knows it's my favorite band and this is just way awesome.  I was almost speechless on this one.

Birthday Dinner
To celebrate the big day, Doug,Shel, Craig and I went to Fats in Folsom (funny enough I was just there last week for our company holiday lunch).  It was fun. 

Yes we were happily buzzed, but didn't care.  Doug was driving.

My sweetie pie or as I call him Bumpers (don't know why, it just stuck).  He makes me happy and is a good guy.

Smartphone
Yes, I am finally one with the smartphone world.  Still have yet to figure out how to use it, but am having fun with it.  I will sit down soon and read the novel on how to use it.  But it is fun to figure it out on my own.  I'm still not getting rid of my iPod though.  I don't want to be that attached to my phone like most people are.  I can still function without it.
