Late birthday prezzies! Mom and I went to El Mariachi for lunch and then she gave me my present—an electric snow shovel! I’m so the geekiest person in my subdivision. Heh. It’s the same size as a regular snow shovel, but it blows the snow just like a big snowblower. Unfortunately, I had already shoveled something like 9 times already so there wasn’t much I could do with it…yet.
Yay!  :flake:
Thanks for the birthday wishes! This was actually one of the more enjoyable birthdays of recent years. I got my early gifts from Ben and Jesse, super-cool post from Ben on LJ, socks and Borders gift card from Scott and Jamie, and a cool diecast metal AT-AT from Cage. Mrs. Bush (the other counselor at work) got me a caramel pound cake and Mom made my candle cake. The family ate out and had a pleasant time. Hobbit and Istar held a rowdy party last night, and Istar must have hit the hooch a little too much because he kept wanting to get in the fireplace. He’s a little nutty, that one!
I was going to see the MVHS production of Steel Magnolias, but since we have several inches of snow, it’s been postponed. Now I can do that work I had planned on doing yesterday. Ooh, and I still have to finish my assignment for class.
How sad is it that I like Desmond better than all but one original cast member?
We got out of work early yesterday and had a full snowday today. :flake: Yay! I have some work I could be doing, but it looks like my birthday plans (the ones from when I was young and thought I’d be celebrating with diamond “Forever” necklaces from my astonishingly gorgeous husband) aren’t going to pan out and I can spend all weekend doing credit checks for the juniors and sophomores.
Tonight is one of the best nights for television: Survivor, CSI, Ugly Betty, Whoo! Oh, I have to say that I :love: the SG-1 ep from this week. It felt just like an old season 3 or 4 ep, only, you know, without Jack. Still, I really liked it.
My class this weekend was the kickoff of the Legal and Ethical Issues class and whoa, boy, did I learn a lot. I am really enjoying my classes this term, but I still can’t wait to find out when I’ll be finished with the certification. Ben and Jesse were, as always, wonderful to me. I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time after we had some Southern Kitchen yummies for dinner. You can almost never go wrong with biscuits and gravy. Yup.
Mini-TV Update: Top Designer (still meh, but passable), LOST (still sucky), Ugly Betty (AWESOME!), Survivor: Fiji (consistant), CSI (always good), SG-1 (veeery Farscapian this time, though good), Road Rules (Veronica gone AND Abram kicked out…again. Yay!).
