Happy Birthday to meeeee, yada yada yada.
Sep. 25th, 2006 11:28 amAnother Monday, another update..
Looks like I haven't posted since before my doctor visit last Tuesday. I survived, as you can see. :) Actually, it wasn't bad at all. That had to be the lowest pulse and blood pressure readings I've ever had at a doctor's office. Maybe I'm growing out of that whole phobia, or at least better able to control it? Well, I wouldn't go that far. It might have been a different story if they'd brought out the needles, but they don't do on-site labwork anymore, so instead I'm supposed to go to a lab myself to give a blood sample. I know I should, but I have a feeling I'll conveniently forget all about it. :)
Hm, what else.. lots of lunches out last week. Heather and munchkin came Tuesday (just in case I died at the doctor, you see), Thursday I went out with a couple of colleagues from the call center, and Friday I went out with my department for a birthday luncheon--our VP's birthday was last Wednesday, and mine is today. So that was nice.
Yep, today I'm 31, which is one of those ages at which I somehow never pictured myself. Though I guess that has applied for every year past 25! I'm not really the type to want any sort of fuss over my birthday, so I'll be quite content to have a quiet day at work. Maybe the wife will come have lunch with me, that would be a good treat for the day.
We did have a nice weekend.. Saturday we got up early and hit the road to get to Lake Wales before 9am. That let us get into the Bok Sanctuary for half-price! Neat place, that. Good walk through the woods, some nice gardens, and the so-called Singing Tower was very cool. We'll have to remember that place. The city of Lake Wales looked neat, too--they have a 1920's-era downtown, pretty well preserved, that would be well worth a stroll on a cooler day.
Sunday morning we woke up and decided to head out to the Magic Kingdom for a while. Very nice, but as usual it got too hot too quickly. Still, before we'd had enough I got to go on Big Thunder Mountain and Splash Mountain, so I was happy.
Did I mention that we picked up a backyard climbing toy for munchin? Man, she loves that thing. She'll spend as long as we'll let her just climbing up and going down the slide and going right back up again. Very cute. It's making her quite the climber, though--after getting so much practice on that thing, she's more than happy to tackle any playground we take her to. She can't climb ladders or nets just yet, but I'll bet it won't be long!
Okay, I think I'm going to have lunch now. I thought about going out for lunch since it's my birthday and all, but I've been eating out a lot lately. Besides, I'd rather ask the boss if I can cut out early instead. Seems like it might be a good night to head out to MGM and ride my favorite rides there as a birthday treat.
