First of all, happy 25th birthday to the most amazingly handsome loving understanding hard-working supportive and hilarious husband a girl could ask for. Ten years ago, I was just a girl in english class gazing at cute boy across the room and here we are today, sharing these monumental birthdays together. God's plan - myself moving to Virginia and switching english classes three times until I was plunked down in a chair facing him - worked out unbelievably well.
Steve's birthday dinner went off without a hitch - he loves his sushi. The waitresses even turned the lights off for his techno birthday song and brought him out some green tea and mango ice cream... Steve quickly learned that when they ask you what kind of ice cream you want, you can't say "chocolate" at a true blue Japanese restaurant. I baked and baked all day so when everyone came back to our house we had lots of snacks to go along with lots of beer. Unfortunately, we had spent the previous night drinking into the wee hours of the morning with old friends so neither of us were really in the mood to party. Plus, Steve is sick. On his birthday! His boss refused to stay home last week so his disease has now spread to others in the office. Thanks, Scott. Aside from the sickness, we had a great time with everyone and I'm so happy that everyone made it. What good is a birthday without great friends to celebrate it with?
The title was a tiny hint at something I am very excited about. That's right. We just purchased our tickets to the Michael Ian Black/Michael Showalter night of hilarious stand up comedy glory on February 1st. Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter of Wet Hot American Summer fame (only one of my top five favorite movies). Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter also of Reno 911!, I Love the 70's, 80's and 90's, The State and more... I cannot wait. It's in Richmond and since it doesn't start until 9pm, perhaps we will turn the evening into a River City sleepover if Taryn and Nate-o are willing. An evening spent in Richmond will inevitably start another discussion about getting the hell out of here... although a serious discussion about it will probably start in a few weeks. Steve will be spending a week in Richmond doing training for work and with every night that he sees our friends and eats at our great restaurants, he'll miss it even more.
Time to go take care of the sick hubby. I'll have to put some blueberry muffins and Tylenol on the coffee table while I drive to Reston to submit the time report that I forgot about on Friday. In this day and age and working for such a gigantic worldwide corporation, I find it hard to believe that I can't submit it remotely. Lame.
P.S. Lets hope the Skins win on Steve's big day!
