Birrfffffday

My birthday was yesterday. My wife and I had a great day. I dont' usually like to make a big deal out of birthdays and such but she always draws the best out of me. First of all it was as we all know, Veterans Day. Yes its horrible to have to share your birthday with a holiday but I've come to the conclusion that Veterans Day is the perfect holiday to share. The thing is, I have not EVER had to go to school or work on my birthday. I mean NEVER. That is officially money. Now this is the same thing as having your birthday on Christmas or Easter but the kicker is the presents. Lets be honest, you're born even NEAR Christmas and you're screwed. Yo u get the combo gifts which are almost always lamer that just simple Christmas presents. Its painful. I always felt for my grandmother who was born on Christmas Eve. Not only was she getting the grandma gifts which were lame to start with, but she'd get the grandma-combo gifts. I mean that shouldn't even be legal. Whatever happen to respecting your elders? She gets a potholder, three trivets, and an afghan for living 80 years on this planet. And what for 80 Christmas's? yup...potholder, three trivets, and an afghan. pootacular. See Veterans Day has nothing to do with gifts, so I don't get screwed. Best of both worlds.

That's about it...the day was great. Spent about 2 hours in Whole Foods Market. Okay like a lot of things, I'm a wanna be health nut. I love the idea of eating organic foods, whole grains, and foods that grow naturally in the happy world of niceville. Unfortunately the niceville chicken is a bit more costly than the steroidandria or smallcrateington chicken. Its a compromise I guess. C and I went nuts looking around. Its now her favorite store, topping Loehmanns, World Market, and TJMaxx. Sounds like a slow day...it was, and that was exactly what I was looking for. We also went on the first official Gym search. Along with the whole foods thing, we are on the fitness kick too. We went all over the place trying to find that diamond in the rough. Apparently there aren't any $5 / month gyms with towel service. What a rip. So we got home...cooked crabcakes, sea scallops and fixed the rest of dinner. Great day. Relaxation, I have found, has become the premium activity in the time that I have to myself.

Then came the movie...Passion of the Christ. That is for another post...
