It has been a long week. I am so glad it's Friday and that the weekend is here. I just need a life break. I even had yesterday off from work (a birthday present to myself), but there's a lot that came up this week that I couldn't have expected.
I had a happy week in a lot of ways because I had a great birthday and the weather was really nice (until today), but it's been emotional. My sister is going through a tough patch and it's hard to see her so sad. I have cried a lot for her, and because I can't do a lot to help (not to worry, it's nothing medical or life-threatening, just life stuff). Crying takes a lot out of you, and I'm ready for a rest.
We have a great event tomorrow night for Fenway Community Health, that I'm really looking forward to, so the plan for tonight is to haul up at home on the couch. It's raining again, so a nice movie night with the hubs-to-be is just what I need. Hopefully I can get my beauty sleep tonight!

House Guests and Wishes
My birthday is in less than two weeks, and I am so excited. I love my birthday. Some people don't like to mention their big day, but not me. I'll tell everyone I know everyday for two weeks, and want to feel completely special on the day of. I think birthdays are fun and should absolutely be celebrated. This year is the big 2-5 for me. It's not old in the grand scheme of life, but it's the oldest I've ever been! And I think it's a great age. People take you more seriously at 25, but still don't consider you old. Ideal, I think.
I always make a wish list for my birthday. It's not that any one has to get my a gift, or that I'll be disappointed if I don't get them or anything like that. I happen to have a wonderfully generous family who often does give presents, so I make sure they know what I'd like. It makes their life easier and there is no waste (yes, I think another pair of slippers that I never wanted in the first place is waste). This year I would REALLY like a brand spanking new amazing camera...but that a little outside the birthday budget, so I'll just keep dreaming about being the proud owner of one of these puppies. Sigh. Some day.
On an equally interesting note, my sister and her boyfriend have moved into my tiny apartment. They were living out in the 'burbs, but have just sold their house to move back to the city (because it's better here). But of course their apartment is not ready to be moved into, so they are on our couch. It's cozy having four people in our place, but it's fun. I love my sister and would do anything for her. Hopefully I still feel the same by the time she moves out...
