Happy Birthday to Me!!!

Today is my 32nd birthday.

I can't believe I'm 32.

I also can't believe it's been a year since I turned 31. I guess I must be having a good time, because time surely is flying.

I got lots of good stuff for my b-day so far...from Cathy I got my wheels for my beach cruiser, a small LEGO set, a dinosaur, a LEGO pen, and a little rubber lizard. Just some fun stuff. I also got the cheesecake. From my friend Alex I got the DVD set that I showed earlier. Tomorrow I go to my parents house and I'm sure they'll have something for me.

But a big b-day present was the fact that the government won't be shutting down. See, Cathy and I are both considered "essential" employees because of our jobs, so that means that we wouldn't be put on furlough. The problem?? Our pay wouldn't have been sent to us until a budget was reached, so even though we still would've had to go to work we wouldn't have gotten paid for it for a while. So I'm glad that they worked everything out at the last minute tonight.

Anyways, happy b-day to me!! Now let's just make it through to the next one...
