Saturday Night Thoughts
The Hubby and I went and saw the new Pixar film, Wall-E, last night. It's really a cute film and tugs at your heart-strings. We both really enjoyed it. I've yet to be disappointed by any Pixar movie I've seen. They have such a talent for entertaining the masses.
When we returned home, I noticed that we had forgotten to lock the front door. I wasn't totally stressed over it (given that his Dad lives right next to us and is almost always home), but it did make me stop and think about our security. If we ever move and have a house built, I think I'd automatically have a security system such as ademco installed from the very beginning. You just never know these days.
In a few more days, I'll be turning another year older and I wish I could say I'm looking forward to it. This year I feel out of sorts over my birthday especially since my entire family will be together at one of my brother's houses celebrating the 4th and my brothers' birthdays which both fall close to mine. The Hubby and I couldn't justify spending the money to drive down to North Carolina to join them and sadly they seem to have no desire to come up here instead. We don't have enough room to house all of them so that turns us into the leper colony apparently. Ugh. I don't want to dwell on this anymore today. I need to go shake off these bleah feelings!
I have some candles to make!
Isn't it great to have someone close by that you trust to keep an eye on the house? My in-laws live across the street.

Sadly that's about the only blessing of him living right next door to us. My Hubby's family is not a tight-knit group at all so we very rarely see his Dad even tho he lives right next to us.

So your b-day is July 2nd? And The way i see it as far as company coming.....BLECH! I hate it. I really do. I wanna go barefoot all day in my nightgown, not worry about more people to clean up after. Chin up sweets, just think they could be in a REALLY messy period of their lives right now, you lucked out!!

You were close. It's July 3rd. And it turns out I might be spending my birthday in an all-day training session as part of the new job. Not too excited about that, but at least I'd be getting paid (at least I assume).
I'm just bummed about my family because I very rarely get to see them. I haven't seen them since Christmas, but they've all seen each other since then. I sort of feel like an after-thought. I don't mind so much not seeing my siblings, but not seeing my parents really gets to me.
By the way, your candle should go out in the mail tomorrow!

Awwwwww, i understand. last friday was my b-day and i spent most of it by myself except for my kids. It's miserable for sure. Hopefully your family doesn't realize you feel this way. It'd be worse if they knew and didn't care. Been there too so i completely understand, though it wasn't my family, it was my husband. I think that hurt worse than my family's actions.
As for spending the day training, well......i hope they pay ya well and you take that money and get you something nice. Even if it's just some nice bubble bath or something. I locked myself in the bathroom with a glass of wine, bubble bath, a trashy romance novel and refused to come out til I was all wrinkly lol.

I don't think my parents know how I really feel. They know I'm homesick, but I doubt they know how much. Tho I've been fairly quiet towards them the past couple of weeks which might tell them something is wrong. Thankfully, my husband tries to be understanding about it all.
I could use some new bubble bath. I'm completely out right now!

Oh, us cancer girls all seem to have such a hard time with our birthdays. We're so sensitive. I just went through the same thing last week and I've read several more bloggers that are having a hard time with theirs. None the less, Have a Very Happy Birthday!!!
