30

30 Years old today. Yep, 30.

It's 9am, and I've been open since 7:30 -with not even one customer yet. It's going to be one of those "I hate this place!" days again... unless of course it picks up! Then, I can deal! Of course, right now - I'm sitting on the loveseat with my bare toes propped up on the brick and keeping warm by the fire in front of them. I love that. I love a fire, even if it's a fake one from a gas fireplace. If I could just figure out a position to sit in so that I don't set my laptop on fire... now that would be cool.

Well at least I know that someone will come in today, one of my friends offered to work for me for the afternoon even though I've not known her very long at all. How cool is that? I told her no, and told her that she needed to just come and hang out with me instead... that would make me happier. Of course, I would love to not have to close! Oh, wait, I have Sarah coming in to close tonight, I think! That's awesome! And she is working tomorrow, so if I happen to be hung over for some reason, then I'll be ok to sleep in ;).

Is it totally selfish to want to be treated like a princess on my birthday, particularly my 30th? I was imagining all of my kids being extra good this morning and making it easier for me to get out the door. I imagined Adrian getting them up and dressed so that I could sleep an extra few minutes. I imagined him coming to the shop (since he already came here before me this morning to get the fireplace working) and leaving me flowers and a card, or little notes or something. But, as usual - there was nothing like that. I came in and there were no flowers or love notes.. I had to yell at the girls to brush their teeth - again, because I obviously haven't said it 327,567 times before.

I know Adrian has gotten me gifts, and I'm sure they are wonderful. He gave me a really pretty bracelet last night. All week he's been like "it's a pre-pre birthday gift"... trying to give me things before today, and I've been insistent that I don't get anything until the actual day. See, I like a lot of presents, but I usually don't get much, if anything. Alex's birthday being the next day sort of steals my glory. So I like to save anything that I do get, until the last second so I can open a bunch at once. lol.

After tomorrow I will be on to different subjects, I swear. I told you - I'm obsessed! lol

I wonder if the one brother that speaks to me on occassion will call today. I don't think I called him on his bday, so that wouldn't surprise me if he didn't.

I'm totally bored, I'm sure there is a lot that I could be doing, but I figure if I'm here 63+ hours a week, I'm going to sit and goof off for a while. lol

Ok, well I'm running out of things to write about so I'm signing off for now! :)
