January 17th - My birthday

Last year my birthday was uneventful, except that Emily (just 2 mo old) had threw up, booped, and peed on me all in the first 15 minutes of the day. This year... only slightly different. The cats threw up 4 times (on the carpet of course), Emily and I are both very sick and feel like crap, and I had to dig threw the garbage to find our W2s which we had already received and promptly (like idiots) threw away. Canio and I normally go to Coopers for dinner and although we had plans to do the same thing after I got off work--- I never made it to work and did not feel like going out. Instead, Canio stopped on his way home and got Smokey Bones (its a southern bbq place that I really like especially when I am missing the south). And for the first time since we have been together, he brought home a birthday cake for me!! I was really surprised. Our neighbor, Dorie came over for a slice of cake and that wrapped up my day. Oh, Emily and I did finger paint for the first time. SHE LOVED IT. I will post something in the next few weeks called Emily's Art Gallery. Check back there to see pictures of her artwork.
