Things on Tuesday - Birthday Edition

Okay, I'll call it the "Birthday and St. Patty's Day" Edition.  I have no problem sharing.  It's all good.

Ask me why I'm frowning

• I have an aunt who is the biggest moocher this side of the equator.  Once in a blue moon, she'll act like she's getting her house in order, then the next minute she's bumming another $80 off of someone in the fam and not paying them back. Oh well.  I guess every family has one.
• I had to work 7 days in a row in order to get my birthday off.  Boo!
• No new Heroes episode this week.
• Natasha Richardson may be brain dead after a skiing accident.  :-(
• AIG.  Seriously dude, WTF!!

Ask me why I'm smiling

• Speaking of moochers, I'll be mailing off the first of several payments tomorrow to reimburse a loan from a close friend.  Again, I'm a slow pay, not a no pay.
• I got an e-mail and phone call about a freelance job for writing a grant proposal and portfolio for a civil rights monument being built here in Allentown.  :-)  Yay!  Somebody likes me.
• I have tomorrow off!  I don't have any big plans, but I hope it will be a nice b-day celebration.
• It was 57 degrees here today and the sun and weather made my folks' neighborhood feel like a scene out of Leave It To Beaver.  So I went for a jog and enjoyed the fresh air.
• My aunt Bonita (not the same aunt as above) was officially granted guardianship of her 3 grandchildren after spending the last 3 years as their foster mother.  Nana is now Mama.  :-D
• I have both Vital Signs and Near Dark sitting on my TV stand to enjoy from Netflix.
• The incredibly fun and helpful e-mail reply from Katrina yesterday.  Thanks sweetie.  I'll try to shoot off a reply before I hit the sack tonight.
• I'm still enjoying the hell out of the HAKM.  Is smut fiend.
  

Ask me why I'm ecstatic

• I'm turning 32 tomorrow and never in my life have I ever felt the least bit down about turning a year older.  I always welcome the chance to improve on the person I was year ago.  :-D
• I may be getting a tattoo for my birthday.  Shhhhh.  Let's keep this between you and me until after I chicken out.
