two more weeks...

Here are two more weeks in my weekly journal. Week 5 found me sick in bed after just getting myself certified for Scuba. Week 6 was yesterday and I forgot to post it then.

two away...

No, this isn't a post about a close basketball score or some other sporting event where our team barely lost. Nope - actually it's my birthday today and having been reminded many times by first my husband and children and then my mom calling, I'm two away. Two small and short years away from the big four-oh.

On a happier tune, I joined the throngs of iPod owners and got my first as my birthday present. It's been a ton of fun too - I've played with it and downloaded many CD's to it all day. I don't feel bad about wasting time though, it's my birthday after all and I'm almost 40. I need a little fun.

Here's a picture - I'm listening to my newest addition to my musical repertoire; a b-side song by one of my very favorite bands...My Chemical Romance. So - happy birthday to me and have a great day.
