Hello! Did you think I was going to disappear from here for another 2 weeks? You can’t get rid of me that easily! I just wasn’t on my computer this weekend…

It is almost my birthday!! I will be here! I wasn’t excited about my birthday until we figured out where wewere going. I love road trips, despite the fact that I hate to drive and get bored and stiff in a car for a long time. It’s probably because it doesn’t involve an airplane ride and you can make fun pit stops.

Friday was a normal day at work. I worked from 10 am – 7 pm because I carpooled with Danny. After work, we stopped by a coworker’s party for a bit. That’s always amusing!

On Saturday we went shopping. I needed underwear and pants. I found the underwear, but no one seems to sell pants in July. Just jeans and shorts. I can’t find my pants! Saturday evening we paid a visit to my friend/coworker’s week-old baby boy. He is so handsome!

After stopping for some dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant, I decided I wanted a jigsaw puzzle. At 5 minutes till close, we ran into Target and picked out a puzzle. We chose a picture of 4 golden retriever puppies sitting in a row. There is no background (it is cut out in the shape of the puppies) so there are no straight edges and the only color is tan. It also have some bigger, shaped pieces (food bowls, dogs, bones…) which add weirdly shaped ones that go around them. It is hard!

On Sunday, we had lunch with Dan’s coworker and their new baby boy (sheesh! babies everywhere!) in Maryland. Then I packed up some old clothes and stuffed animals to donate to charity. I wanted to vacuum the bedroom, but Danny laid down for a nap. I did make it through a ton of laundry, though.

Tonight, I have to drive my car to the dealer to get it’s emissions inspection and oil change. hopefully it won’t need new tires as well. But, we are going to take it on the trip (since it has a rack for our bikes) so it needs to be in good health.

Uh, that is all.
