Oh yeah - my birthday

This year the RRHS Theatre Dept was putting on A Midsummer Night's Dream during the week of my birthday. Of course theatre - free theatre especially tops my list of great birthday ideas! So I made plans to go to dinner and the play with some friends and my husband of course. Seeing no way around taking Jessica - she got to come too. We went to the Tokyo Grill which was quite a show in itself and rushed back to the school to see the show only to discover it wasn't there.

We missed the opening curtain at the PAC which was at another high school in the district so we went home. Jessica and I went to the show the next evening and ended up getting home VERY late, but it was so worth it. The kids did a fabulous job and it was HILARIOUS! We both laughed like crazy and Jessica thoroughly enjoyed the show. I was proud of her that she was so attentive to Shakespeare so late at night.

Consequently, on Sunday Jhonny reminded me that we hadn't had my birthday cake with the family. So I whipped up a cookie cake and we sang an impromtu version of Que Noche Tan Preciosa and I blew out my candles. To demonstrate how last minute this was - I have to let you know that I am NOT 39. I'm 38. But we couldn't find an 8 in our stash. Jhonny suggested doing a 93 or putting 38 candles on the cake - I said 39 was just fine. My I feel old! But really - I've been anticipating this birthday all year. 39 is kind of fitting since I've already been thinking about how next year I will be 39 - oh my - 40 is on the horizon. Yikes!
