Today, my birthday started the day off with French toast made for me by J and sitting down to write some poems to catch up on NaPoWriMo hi-jinks I have fallen behind on. We don't really have plans for the day since J has three gigs today stretching from early afternoon til 2 or 3 am. So I am on my own, and will probably work on editing things, tidy up the bedroom, and watch something trashy later. We've been doing our celebrating other nights this week with downtown musicals and plentiful diner outings. Last night, we saw a couple of good movies, Mother Mary and Over My Dead Body, both of which were great in their own ways. We had dinner at the bowling alley/arcade downstairs, which always reminds me of Chuck E. Cheeses, even though we never get a chance to play (usually we are just grabbing a quick bite between movies.) It's been a lively week and we are still planning for J to make me dinner and procure birthday cake (though more likely it will be pie--specifically lemon supreme)…
