Lazy blurbs.

Time for my "lazy can't think of a good post so here are some bullet points" post:
  • Today, I am 31. How? I was just getting used to 30. Where did this number come from? My brother-in-law has told me that 31 was harder for him than 30, because not only was he 30, he was 30 + something. I've been contemplating that thought today.
  • I choose to not work on my birthday. Having a summer birthday, I never had to go to school, so why should I go to work? I encourage everyone to take their birthday off. It's the one day of the year people are supposed to be nice to you. Who needs annoying work emails or phone calls? I'd much rather wake up, have a Barry's Bagels Eggel and my decaf Starbucks and go shopping then lay out in the sun like I plan on doing today. I don't need anyone's nonsense.
  • By the time this day comes around next year, I will have a six-month-old!
  • I am officially in my second trimester. I'd say I had a very successful first trimester. No sickness to speak of. And I think I'm starting to get over the excessive tiredness. I would also like to point out that I am wearing my skinny jeans today and they are buttoned - booyah!
  • "Breaking Bad" is one hell of a tv show. It's on AMC. Get the dvds. Watch them.
  • This next one will make me (and my husband) cry... we found out last week that we totally missed the Coldplay concert that we had tickets to. It was June 2, which we realized on June 9. D'oh! My stomach hurts just thinking about it. But because my husband is great, he got tickets to another of their concerts in Wisconsin next month. (It's July 30*... PLEASE REMIND ME!) We got engaged in Wisconsin, so we will be staying at the hotel that he proposed in. Very sweet! Almost makes missing the first concert worth it. Almost.
  • My Dad has decided he wants to go to Italy for his birthday celebration. He found an awesome 8-day trip. Now, I have to contact Mastercard to convince my Mom that the cost of this trip is "priceless". Sidenote: for 4 people to fly first class to Rome would cost $12,500! Hahhah!
  • I have fantastic friends.

TTFN!

*UPDATE: OMG! The friggin Coldplay concert that we are seeing is JULY 25! Not the 30th. Ugh, we are destined to miss another one.

Seriously, I think taking your birthday off should be mandatory. Good for you and I hope you are enjoying your day!

I was thinking of that today, your next birthday will be celebrated with your son/daughter - I mean how flipp'n awesome is that?!?!

So Italy it is! That is so fun! Yeah, I think you could rent a private jet for that amount of money ;)

P.S. when are we going to start getting pregnancy updates and pics?!

Note for everyone's betterment:

There is no good way to tell your pregnant wife that you missed the concert she so desperately wanted to see. If you find yourself in that situation, I recommend what I like to call the alternative sandwich. You start with a heavy dose of bad news and sandwich it in between two alternatives that were BETTER than the original.

I shall say it again - because maybe my blog, facebook, an email and a phone call weren't enough:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

:)

Happy Birthday!!

Sounds like you have the perfect day planned!

Italy will be amazing. My husband and I spent 8 days there a few years ago. It's such a great trip.

Correction: You are destined to miss another concert. I have fully committed this one to memory.
