Can you tell I am trying to be better about posting? I meant to start writing every day a while ago, but being sick sucked the life out of me. I am feeling much better now, though! Just an annoying cough.

So I went to my dentist appointment yesterday. No cavities! They were impressed by my amazing flossing. It really does make a difference, people! I wasn’t even told to give up my tea addiction – they just suggested I swish with water after drinking it.

My big news of the day – we made a decision on where to go my birthday weekend!! We decided to go back to the Outer Banks… We loved it when we went a few years ago. We are staying at a nice hotel, so that even if the weather is crappy, we can have a weekend getaway. It is pricey, but you only turn 30 once, right? Dang, I’m old! The hotel has a spa, and what I’d really love is a spa day on my birthday… I’d say you could get me a spa gift certificate for my birthday, but it looks like you’d have to call them to order it. They even say you can order gifts to have waiting for people who are staying there… I can’t wait, it sounds so nice!

If you couldn’t care less about my birthday, feel free to skip over this paragraph. This is for the people who will be asking what I want for my birthday. Okay, the person who will ask… hah. My Amazon list is here. For gift cards, I like: Starbucks, Bath & Body Works, and book stores. I also have a new Fossil watch that you can buy different watch bands for I still need a white band and a black band in size “women’s small”.

So I broke my braiding record – 2 days! 3, if you include the 5 hours on Monday that I spent unbraiding. I still want to split up a few braids so less of my scalp is showing. No huge rush on that – I should just have that done before we go to the Outer Banks to save myself a sunburn.

One muscle in my back keeps twitching. It doesn’t hurt (any more than my back has been hurting in general, at least), but it doesn’t feel good. When it starts twitching, it goes at it several times a second for up to ten minutes. Last night it was keeping me awake. Do I need to eat more bananas or something?

Now, back to work, people.
