Day 57: Celebrating's a Real Gas

Aha:
I know five people who are celebrating their birthday today: my dad, my sister, her daughter, my cousin and one of the doctors I used to work for.

It's been a busy day for texting "Happy Birthday" messages but it just makes me think of how grateful I am to have such wonderful people in my life! My thoughts have been about family and friends all week (with one of my friends celebrating her birthday on the 1st, one of my nieces' birthday was yesterday, another niece this weekend and now all these birthdays today) and I just want them/you all to know how much I love you!

What a blessing it is to celebrate life!

Happy birthday to all of you!

Haha:

Here's a conversation Clinton and I had on our way home tonight.

Me: Oh, I am so gassy.

He: (sarcastically) Tell me aaaall about it.

Me: I'd rather show you. At least that would bring me some relief!

He: Uh, please don't.

Lol

Day 362: Making Things Come Out Properly

Aha:
Went to my friend Chelsey's house tonight to enjoy a little VDGNO (Vampire Diaries Girl's Night Out).  She's due with her first baby today and is really ready for him to come.  When I got there I asked how she was doing.  She said, "Aren't you the baby whisperer?  Can you make him come out?"  I asked if she rubs her Achilles' tendon/heel as that is thought to induce labor.  She said she hadn't tried it so I rubbed her poor little swollen ankle for 2 VD episodes.  She had a couple contractions, but nothing major.  My hope is that we maybe got something started, but even if we didn't, I'm so glad I could help provide her some relief for a little while. :)  Good luck, Chels.  He'll come soon enough!!

Ha ha:
Dr. Forgetful came up to me this morning and we had the following conversation:
Me:  Yes, sir?
He:  Um...I made a poo-poo this morning...
Me:  (cringe)  Uh, why are you telling me this? (laughing)  That's pretty personal stuff.
He:  No, not literally.  Well, literally, but I made uh, uh...?
Me:  Faux pas?
He:  Yes!  That's it.  Oh, man.
After laughing about this ALL DAY, it dawned on me later this evening that I think the phrase he meant to use from the beginning was that he'd made a "boo-boo", not a "poo-poo".  Oh, too funny!!

Day 319: Visiting Husband, Visiting Professor

Aha:
I got a surprise visit from my favorite H.B. today at work!  I was busy trying to wrap things up for tomorrow and heard the door open behind me.  I turned around and there he was!  He just came by to say "hello".  I snuck out for a second and visited for a minute before kissing him goodbye for the night (he's got exams on Friday and has been staying at the school to study).  What a pleasant surprise!  Thanks H.B.!!

Ha ha:
I've been working for about a month or so on arrangements to bring a visiting professor to the college.  It's been a lot of work and he's finally coming tomorrow and the stress of this visit will be over on Friday!  Anyway, Dr. Forgetful is hosting the visitor and asked me to compile a list of the fancy-pants restaurants nearby from which they could choose to take the visiting professor for a fancy-schmancy dinner.  Anyway, the list I emailed him went a little something like this...
Eddie Martini's (Steak/Seafood)
Ristorante Bartolatta (Italian)
Le Reve (French)
Cocina DeLeon (Mexican)
Firefly Urban Bar & Grill (Modern American)
Or my personal favorite...Subway (cheap)
I could tell when he'd opened my email from the short burst of laughter I heard from his office.  Let's just say he thought I was funny too.
