Birthday

I have been celebrating my birthday with various people since Friday. My mom came to visit on Friday and it was great. I don't get to see her as much as I would like anymore, I miss just sitting and talking about girlie things, the old neighborhood, old friends, and boys. I really want to spend more time with mom.

On Saturday we went out for a birthday lunch with Andy's parents. We went to Marty's because they have such great pizza and I figured it would a low stress place. The food was great like always but half way through lunch a child hockey team came in and completely filled the restaurant. And I mean filled, every single table was filled with extremely loud and obnoxious children and their parents. It was so loud we couldn't even hold a conversation. On our way out, Mom J gave me my birthday presents and stuff. It was great. I got Harry Potter Clue which I have been wanting forever! We played it tonight and it is a pretty good variation of the original Clue. She also made me brownies and taco dip!!! Excellent, excellent, excellent!!! Earl gave me a great card and a check. With the money from him I was able to get my Aerogarden!!!! and it was on a great sale ($100 off!!!).

I have wanted an Aerogarden (I got the Aerogarden 6) for a very long time. We got it home and I immediately took it out of the box. The instructions were very very easy to follow with lots of pictures so it didn't take me more than 3 minutes to get it up and running. I planted 4 pods of salad greens and a pod of chives and a pod of dill. The salad greens are supposed to germinate in 1-3 days, the dill in 7-11, and I think the chives are 5-7. I don't quite remember. We are on the first full day today and you can see the very beginning of the sprouts popping out on the salad greens. I am so excited! I can't wait to eat fresh lettuce!!!

On Monday, Grandma and Poppie came over for lunch. We went to Chili's and ate tons of yummy food. I hate that I don't get to see them very often anymore :(
