Happy Birthday to Me

A few months ago Mark and I were walking around Old Town Arvada and I spotted a paint your own pottery studio. I was so excited. I told Mark that for my birthday I wanted him to take me. Of course since I'm using it as a birthday present he really didn't have a choice. A few weeks after that I saw that Phantom of the Opera was coming to Denver. I had a choice to make. I can only use the birthday card once, so I had to decide which I wanted more. Either way would be torturous for Mark. I couldn't decide. I sent Mark an email telling him that if he really did not want to paint he could take me to see Phantom for my birthday. Well, I am sitting at the desk looking at two tickets to Phantom of the Opera. This year we will be celebrating my birthday on March 18.

Parents

My parents are the best!! I was talking to them the other day about the stress level that I am feeling, I totally started crying and through my balling I asked if they could come out for a visit. My mom said, let me call you right back, I'm going to call and make reservations to come out. Well, my parents will be arriving March 10. I am so excited. As supportive as Mark is, nothing can beat a hug from my mom and dad.

Another media metaphor

Okay, this is Mark by the way. Anyway, I found this comic, that while not 100% accurate as was Daryl Hall's 1986 song quoted earlier, you can figure it out...
