Mar. 14th, 2004 04:17 pmIt's my birthday. ^_^ I turn 26 today. Feels a trifle strange, particularly when I realize that my ten year reunion isn't too far away anymore.
But, my life's in a fairly decent place, for the most part. I have the love of a wonderful and devoted man. I have a halfway decent job, and the prospect of finding another one that's more fulfilling. I have a great family at home. My love and I have a pretty good plan for the next six months. And best of all, my love is coming home in three days. I'm so excited I can barely stand it. ^___^ The next three days are going to feel like an extended version of the night before Christmas.
Didn't do too much to celebrate. Ate chips and dip, drank soda, watched lots of chick tv, and slurped on ice cream. Did a few things around the apartment to make it pretty for Tom's arrival. Got to talk to him on the phone earlier, and now we're chatting online. ^_^
Got a couple things from Tom, but nothing from the family or anyone else yet. Mom says her card and the home-made one from Katie-chan are in the mail. Knar must have decided he couldn't possibly top the condolence card with Slayers fanart inside from last year. :p Tom's gifts.... @_@ He got me that fantastic Ifurita wallscroll I mentioned in an earlier post, and a panda plushie. It really *looks* like a proper panda. Standing on all fours... panda-like body shape... and the fur pattern is correct, too. Not just a teddy bear pattern made with black and white fur like a lot of cheap "panda" plushies are. There was a nametag included for the panda, but it wasn't really necessary. I knew what it was supposed to be the minute I opened the package. ::enormous grin:: I do love this man. This zany, sweet, romantic, peculiar man of mine.
