Yesterday I turned 37.  Yes, I know I’m old, you don’t have to remind me.   Everyone in my family remembered to call me, except the Daniel Nelson family.  This is the first time in YEARS that I’ve had both of my parents and almost all of my siblings remember.   Thank you!  I’m almost certain Paul had something to do with them all ‘remembering,’ though, because it’s quite rare for me to get so many phone calls.

I started the day off with getting lotion on my back.  I only get that on Christmas, mothers day and my birthday because I’m told that it stinks and it’s gross when it gets all in between your fingers.  Work was uneventful.  Alan was in court all day, so I just did tedious stuff around the office.  Then last night Paul took us all out for chinese.  Delicious! 

Update on the house:  We got a counter on ’nice basement’ house, which was still too high for our blood, so we are going to have to pass on it.   Now we’re looking at expanding our search area and lowering our expectations on what we would like in a house.  We still haven’t gotten to the point where we would consider ‘bad neighbor’ house or ‘pink bedroom’ house, though.
