Whew! Glad that's fixed. It had lost my template and I just picked a new one. I wanted to do that anyway.

Yesterday was my 28th birthday. I had a good but tiring day. My mom came over and brought me presents from her and my cousin. I got a 3 1/2 ft tall scarecrow, a scarecrow doll and two yard signs for fall/thanksgiving. She also gave me $20 to buy a silk scarf. This is in addition to the shirt she bought me earlier in the week.

We left around 12 to go to a funeral of a friend's daughter (she was 23 :( ). After the funeral, I went to Wal-mart to pick out my scarf (a black and silver one with a tiger). Then we took family portraits (they came out great). It seemed to take forever because the girl working there was stuck alone cause the manager had an emergency that morning. Then I went to blow the rest of the $20 at books-a-Million and got two books: The Celtic Book of Names and You Can Write a Novel by James V. Smith, Jr. I got the latter because he offers a unique system to keep up with characters and the plot. That's one of my main trobles is that I get confused with everything. I got the first one to help me with my novel.

Then, last night we went out to eat at Outback Steakhouse. Poor Xander didn't have any dinner because we didn't plan on being out that long. I ordered a sweet potato with my steak and shared the potato with him. We also ordered a side of steamed veggies and he had some carrots, squash and brocolli. We also gave him small bites of bread and James shared some of his chicken. Xander really seemed to enjoy all of it. I think he loves food like we do...poor guy ;).

After we got home around 10 PM, Xander was extremely tired 'cause he had missed his nap. Once he was in bed, James gave me two presents: a great bible study book and set of mirrors to see Xander in his seat while I'm driving (I promised I wouldn't drive off the road while watching him, hehe). We relaxed awhile, it was nearly 12 when we decided to go to bed. Then we finally got a hold of my in-laws who'd been trying to call us all day and when we tried to call the phone was busy. They both sang me "Happy Birthday" and said they would be bringing me a present when they come for Xander's b-day.

Before going to bed, I got on-line and found an e-card from Amy (Hi, Amy!). It was the only e-card I got which means my sister forgot my b-day again. She and I are both forgetful about b-days so I don't blame her. In fact- I forgot her new hubby's b-day on the 8th, er, rather not forgot, but I didn't do anything about it ::ducks::.

So, even though I was tired last night, I think I had a very good b-day.
