Rollin' Thirty.

I am now three days into being thirty and it is gooood. My surprise birthday day was fan-tab. Ernie had a whole day of surprises up his sleeve and pulled them all off without a hitch. Woke up to my darling children, had a relaxing morning and got them ready for the day. Ernie got me in the car about 10am and took me to Rejuvenation Spa for an hour massage and an hour pedicure. Fancy Shmancy. Him and Henry picked me up about one and we rolled over to Sellwood for some delish Thai lunch special. mmmm. Headed for home and was instructed to pack for an overnight. Spent some time smooching up the littles. As we were leaving Ruby said "Mom, Are you going to spend the night at the beach?" I replied, "I don't know sweetie, It is all a surprise" She said, "Oh then just call me when you get there and find out." So away we went.

We got to the coast about 6. Went shopping for something nice to wear and went to the condo. Got ourselves all fancied up and went out to dinner at Salishan. We ended up skipping the fancy restaurant and going up to the bar area for happy hour beer and pool. It was so nice to be able to spend some face time with Ernie, kick back have some beers and...laugh.

About 9 we darted over to the casino for some blackjack. Have I ever told you how much I love blackjack? I do. waisting money is one of my best qualities. We sat and played for a couple hours going up and down until we both ended up empty handed. woops. I gently let Ern know that I was not done yet and sent him to the ATM (diva). While I was waiting on his arrival the gentleman beside me gave me a $5 chip. I played it. Won 20 times in a row and walked away with $160. Ernie won back all of his money too. Ended up to be a great time. OHHH. Ernie had stopped drinking about 10, I on the other hand, did not. I was high fiven', whoop whoopn' , straight up assin' out.. but having a great time. We got back, went to bed and woke up feeling VERY 30!

Live is great. Let's enjoy it.

30...really???....30.

Tonight I am going to bed 29, tomorrow I will wake up and be 30. I used to sit around and think how "old" thirty seemed to be. old.
These days I am sportin' 3 kids, rollin' in a mini, wearing mama jeans, clippin' coupons and I guess just fitting in with the crowd. weird.
I have many goals for my 30's. Just wait.

Recovery

My dear friend has made an amazing recovery. She is a rock... solid. She has overcome all odds through the power of bond and love. I am excited to hear all about her stories of dying and coming back multiple times. I just wanted to give a quick update on my friend for all of you who might know her and or who have been wondering about her. She is unstoppable.
