Seriously

I checked my mail again, like I usually do. I know I just had a birthday, and I know 31 may seem old to some people,but my curiousity was fantastically piqued.

I mean, COME ON! 31 is not that old!!!!

So I guess I am entirely, legally, technically a Card carrying AARP old fogie. Now, where's my cane?

31

I finally got around to getting some pictures up! The morning started with presents! What a great motivator for getting out of bed! My friend, Andrea, had sent me a card organizer, and journal with a way cute card with fish and an octopus. I had to laugh at the box it was sent in. Gotta love nurses! It was a box which had previously contained syringes! I had to smile that she wrapped the box in plain brown paper, and could just imagine trying to ship something like that, unwrapped!



Then it was off to the spa!

Warning!!! Steamy pictures ahead!!!

I actually met 2 other girls with the EXACT SAME BIRTHDAY AS ME! SAME YEAR AND EVERYTHING! Of course, I had to take a picture with them!

And then, of course, ICE CREAM!!! Between all us girls (and the 2 husbands that got dragged along and managed to not get in the picture) we did get to try 31 flavors!

So, yes, it was a wonderful birthday all around!

And now it's my turn again...

31 made it into my world this morning. Of course, I'm not owning the 1 part until after the time I officially came into this world, but I am sure that by the end of the day, I will firmly be 31.
To celebrate....spa day!!!
Followed by 31 flavors at Baskin Robbins. Yum!
Happy Birthday to Me!

But would you believe me?

I kid you not! Today in the ICU, runnung a code, I witnessed with my very own eyes.... a doctor! No suprise there, but he had on scrubs. Wait for it.... AND A KILT!
A kilt! Yes! A kilt! Over his scrub pants! Just when I thought I had seen it all! I've seen scrubs and cowboy boots, I thought I had seen it all.
And his scrub cap? Yeah, he had one. And no, it didn't match the blue plaid kilt. It was black with skulls and cross bones. Not what I want to see standing over me in a code situation.
The kilt? Ok. But not the skull and cross bones!
It's good to be me, and no, I did not hand the staff a hospice card.

Bowling

A few weeks ago I got to go bowling with the 2 most recent newlyweds, and one of their sisters. It was way fun, and it turns out I am a horrible bowler! But, alas, good times were had by all
