Yesterday was my birthday. Here's how the morning went:

7:15: alarm goes off
7:16: I go back to sleep
8:00: I wake up
8:01: I go back to sleep
9:00: I wake up
9:15: I get up

It was glorious. Best birthday present ever. After 31 years of dealing with mornings, 14 months of which have been spent living with a baby who likes to get up and get going before seven, I'm still no where near being a morning person.

Yesterday was very relaxing. We talked about various activities we could get up to, but after the craziness of all the traveling we've done of late, we weren't jumping at the chance to get back in the car to go anywhere, so we ended up kicking around the apartment all day. I alternately ate cake, watched the second season of The Office, knitted, and napped. I finally showered and got dressed around 6:30. Dave ordered in some Indian for dinner, we watched Ghostbusters, and then went to bed. Sounds like a great birthday doesn't it? It was.

In honor of my birthday I've decided to make a few resolutions for the upcoming year:

1. Finally lose the last 15 pounds of pregnancy weight, plus five more. That's 20 pounds. Sigh.
2. Find some sort of job that will get me out of the house every once in a while. You know, for my sanity.
3. Join a playgroup or something so Henry can run around with some other kids. I can't let my own anti-social tendencies get in the way of Henry's meeting other kids.
4. Take a look at our finances and start thinking about how to save for some of the following: a) a trip to Hawaii in 2008; b) a house remodel; c) a vacation home; d) a plasma television.

That about covers it. Of the four items listes above, 3 is probably going to be the hardest. Also, 4d was for Dave's benefit.
