I wasn't here for the evening of my birthday.

I missed a lot of you. :(

On the one hand, I'm very glad I was taken out for my birthday. I was taken out to see the Iron Man movie and then to dinner. :)

on the other hand, I'm sorry I wasn't here to post a gazillion times with all of you. Okay, a gazillion is a small exageration. I can't type nearly that fast with four working fingers. But I still would have posted a hell of a lot. :P

While I was out at dinner tonight I found out that it's very, very fortunate that I'm alergic to narcotic painkillers.

Because of that alergy, I have to take prescription strength antihistamines every day. Because I take those antihistamines every day, if I accidentally come in contact with something else I'm alergic to I have a less severe reaction than I might otherwise have. Case in point, Italian Restaurants sneak butter into places you don't expect it. I accidentally ate a small amount of dairy. I think it's a rule that this has to happen twice a year for some reason.

My food alergy still made breathing painful, caused some pain from muscle cramps, and gave me a headache. But it was nothing compared to what it would have been if I didn't have the meds in me already. So I had a small adventure in the restaurant after the movie. I'm very happy to report that it was a very minor situation.

So, to recap: I saw a good movie, I had a great dinner, I was with wonderful company, and I discovered a silver lining. How cool is that? :7

:bounce:


I'm so glad. :hug:

I was sure you were in bed by now.

:hug:

Shows what I know. :P

so I stayed up until it came back on. Now I can't sleep. x(

Ah, sweetie!

Glad you had an awesome evening, with a great movie, a good dinner, and wonderful company!

And that silver lining ain't too bad, either!

And when I come to New York, we can have another awesome evening with great company!

Glad you're OK!

Happy Birthday, once again!

:toast:

:hug:

This is going to be an awesome summer!

Sounds like a good birthday.

:hug::loveya:

It would have been even better if you could have been here, or I could have been there. :hug:

:loveya:

40 was one of my best years. I hope your own 40 is as good.

Best wishes

Thank you! :hug:

So far it's definitely off to a great start. :)

:hug:

It wasn't at all what I expected. I don't know if it was a wonderful birthday in spite of that or because of that. :P

You just never know when something good will come out of something bad.

I'm still waiting, myself - LOL!


Still - I'm glad you got out and had a good time.

Hip Hip Hurrah!!






(For some reason I like this print - but it does kind of creep me out - YOU?)

trying to figure out which celebrity each puppet is supposed to represent. :P

Take care! :hug:

Glad you got to do something. Sorry 'bout the dairy.

I'll kick a cow if I see one.

and glad you found a silver lining!
