I only got in two miles this morning. As I was passing my townhouse, I realized I needed an urgent pit stop. I will do more at lunch time.

I'm still waiting for Edward to arrive....

Thank you everyone. It was a nice birthday. My sister took me out to dinner on Wednesday and gave me a bunch of puppy supplies. My dad took me out to dinner on Thursday and gave me a wooden sudoku board and some $$$. My ex gave me a Barnes & Noble gift card. My daughter's package is on the way from Italy. My son is a teenager - nuff said.

I had a great time with Leslie. We really enjoyed the movie and the girls night out. We don't often get the opportunity to actually be alone and talk. And the Asian Star was great. I am in love with the Walnut Shrimp.

Off to take a nap and dream about my vampire.
