Weekend Relaxers

This weekend flew by and made me wish that someone would pay me to be a full time wife and mother. There, I said it. Alas, we’ll have to be content with weekends. This Sunday, we took the boy out to breakfast and then for a little play while we picked out a present for our expectant friends. We’re secretly hoping that they’ll start a baby blog … but, we’ll see. We came home for a long nap (myself included) before heading over to Suz and Mike’s for the baby shower. D had plenty of kids to play with and a good time was had by all.

Coincidentally, it was also my birthday. I don’t mind the birthday, but really was feeling a little low key. The husband surprised me with a lovely necklace from Lucca (my favorite boutique!) and The Gormenghast Novels. There are few things that truly delight me more than a surprise book that I’ve never heard of, but has all kinds of excellent reviews. Seriously, it’s the best thing EVER! 

And today, at work, my fantastic co-workers (they really are) surprised me with an ice cream cake, a random singing of Happy Birthday (it was an email generated sing-a-long) and … get this … an iPod Nano! There is no way the people you work with are this awesome. I didn’t even mind when I registered it and realized that I’d moved into a new demographic category (yep, I had to select the 35+ from the drop down). That’s technology’s way of saying … hey, you’re getting older. It was such a sweet gift and a total surprise. 

It can be my Apple fix for now to keep me for wanting to run out and buy a new Macbook Pro. I actually might have made an “O” face. After perusing the pics, I uttered a “That’s hot.” which made my husband laugh in a way that said “That’s NERDY.” It cracks him up that I can be so in love with technology. I like to think he finds it endearing. Sigh.
