Today was an odd waking up day. The alarm went off--well, I should start from last night. Yesterday was an odd day, a bit, at leas--The weekend. Gosh, I'm off today. Saturday I slept in and relaxed because I hadn't had a Saturday to relax in for quite some time. It was glorious. Then Saturday evening, Hubby took me and a friend out to watch District9. A movie I am still trying to wrap my head around...but one that I probably won't watch again. Not because it is a bad movie. It is a very well-done good movie. Just makes you think, and is very very poignant. Once I have a better idea of my thoughts on it, I will post a review. As of right now, I do believe everyone should watch it--won't guarantee you will like it. However, it is one of those movies that you ought to watch.
Then yesterday did not feel like Sunday at all, even though we went to church and everything. I dyed my hair (yay!), and Hubby loves it. He can't stop looking at me, which is quite fun. Then Jason came over to visit last night and we made dinner, and hung out together for quite a while. Then He and Hubby went to see District 9 again, and I went to bed with a headache but happy.
So all that long intro to say, I woke up today hardly believing it was Monday--groaning that it was Monday--and then my mind did the "Oh wait, I'm only working 3 days this week! Hooray!!" and made Monday quite more tolerable.
Our one year anniversary is Sunday. I can hardly believe it's been a year, but also can easily. We are taking 3 days off work and going off on an adventure. One with a kingsized bed and hottub thrown in the mix. Hehe. I shall post more (and hopefully some pictures!) when we get back. However, for now, I can hardly wait.
That's all for now. Been doing a lot of thinking, and once my head gets into shape, I'll blog on it.

Faces
Something new I wrote. I think I would mix this with an art project (if I did art projects. Lol) Let me know what you think, please!
***
She waits impatiently, tapping her feet, glancing and then not glancing. She sighs, shifting more, twisting blankets in her fists as she rocks back and forth on the bed.
Finally!
She looks and crumples. She sits there, curled over herself in a small ball, the test lying discarded on the floor.
Again? She moans, tears running down her cheeks, …Why? Why again??
She crosses her arms protectively around herself, head almost touching her knees.
Did I do something wrong?
***
Tall, curvy, long flowing hair. She looks like a goddess, standing there. A skirt hints at well-formed hips and legs, a shirt hugs around her, showing just enough to be teasing…and wishing for more.
Confident, sexy, as she picks a box off the shelf. She sways to checkout, meeting a young girl’s wide eyes. She smirks, and with a wink, is gone.
***
The small woman—girl, just barely old enough—bounces across the stage. Moving, dancing, feeling the music course through her. She ignores the smoke and the smell of beer wafting about.
She flirts and listens to breathless whispers. Nodding or shaking her head, she moves. The clock ticking until she can go home to her lover, waiting impatiently.
***
The tired woman smiles in relief as the tiny bundle settles down to sleep…finally. She watches, marveling at the tiny fingers and toes.
She runs a hand over the tiny nose, smiling, and all the weariness fades away, leaving just a smiling face, relaxed and happy. Content with her life, confident in herself, and relaxed, watching the bundle sleep soundly.

Birthday Weekend!
So...this past weekend was my birthday. Well, technically Monday, but Aaron celebrated all weekend with me. Saturday we just had a relaxing day at home. Slept in, watched some movies, had a yummy dinner, he got me ice-cream. (Yay!) Sunday we woke up bright and early to head to an airsoft game in support of a field we liked but they closed down--well, more like the cranky old lady got annoyed and refused to say it was ok with us to play there, so the county closed it down--we were up there till about...1 or 2 ish? It was freaking hot out, we were all a bit miserable, but it was fun. I got a bit sunburnt too. Hehe.
Then we came home, showered, rested. And Aaron took me out to dinner. Now, he had been telling me all this time that he had wanted to try to do something big for my birthday, but we weren't going to be able to afford it and all this stuff, so he was planning a bunch of medium/small things. And he also told me it was going to be for Monday night after work. So I get all ready to go to a nice dinner with my husband and stuff... we get to Aculpulco--amazing Mexican restaurant!--and round the corner to be seated, and I see a bunch of my friends' heads. Now, silly me, I'm sitting there going, "Why is Brett here? Or Fernando? Janelle?"
....then when they all said, "Surprise!!" it dawned on me that my husband was a sneak bugger and threw me a surprise party with my friends. So I turn bright red--apparently matched my dress, which is quite a feat--and sat down, and had a wonderful night of conversation and food and cake with good friends who all took time out of their busy schedules to come--some drove 2+ hours to be there!!--hang out with me and make my day special. So thank you, my friends.
Then on Monday night, Aaron took me to Borders to spend one of my Borders cards (thank you, Pineapple!)--I got a couple books. Hooray!--and then we headed down to Downtown Disney, where we wandered around the little bookstore by the movie theater until it was time to go see Julie/Julia, which I had been wanting to see. It was better than I expected, and we both loved it. Go see it, if you haven't. I was amazed at how well Meryl Streep channeled Julia Child, and how well Amy Adams did as a quirky government worker who sits in a cubicle all day and decides she wants to do something--cook through Mastering the Art of French Cooking--and write a blog about it. The way they go back and forth between both stories--because you're also getting Julia Child's story of how she wrote the book--is very well-done, and not confusing at all.
Then the next day (Tuesday), my boss and his wife took Aaron and I out to Lascari's for my birthday, and gave me a gift-card to Kohl's, which I was ordered to use on myself, and not on anything practical.
Overall, it was a wonderful birthday, and came well placed at a time where I'm dealing...well, struggling really, with a lot. I haven't slept well the last couple nights...been very restless, and feeling very much alone where I am right now. So it was nice to be reminded of friends who care and love me and are there for me.
My hair is changing up again this weekend too. Very excited about that. And next Thursday we leave for our anniversary trip! We're taking 5 days off (well, technically 3), and I'm so very excited about it!!
That's all for now.
