I Seem To Have Misplaced My Mongoose-Fur Slippers

Posted on August 31st, 2007 in Emotional Angst, This And That

Birthday BlossomsSince tomorrow is my 25th Birthday, I decided to put up a little Amazon wish list I made, mostly for myself, to keep track of the books I want to buy. Since I am not actually expecting anyone to buy me anything off of it, I don't have a shipping address associated with it (also privacy reasons). However, if you REALLY wanna send me something (particularly my real life friends that read here and maybe feel sorry for how sad and pathetic I am without you) just send me an e-mail and I will provide it for you.

My Wish List

I didn't manage to round up any exciting plans for the weekend. It's going to be a low-key family weekend. Jack and the kids and I will likely go for dinner tomorrow night. He's also offered to take me furniture shopping (we need a new coffee table, and a desk for the office) which will be pretty alright. I may escape for some time to myself, go to Starbucks and have a latte and read a little.

Since I'm obviously suffering some karmic retribution, my period also decided to arrive today, 2 days earlier than scheduled, just to make sure I have no naughty fun during my weekend. Hooray! No, it's not just because I find sex on my period icky, but menstruation kills my sex drive and also makes my entire pelvic region act all weird. Not at all conducive to good sex.

Things haven't been ALL bad. A few days ago I received my first (and thus far, only) birthday gift in the mail. Padme, the little sweetie, sent me a really nice card and a gift certificate for Starbucks! I was so touched when I found it in my mailbox, she's so thoughtful. I'm thinking I'll use it to get myself a pretty travel mug or coffee cup, to remind me of her always. She had me smiling all day!

She also sent me a really gorgeous faerie postcard that says "Wish You Were Here" on the front. I know she has been making a real effort to cheer me up for my Birthday, and to show me that people are thinking of me. Anyone can send an e-card, and I appreciate those as well, but getting something in the mail is just so special and exciting. I put the card on my fridge and I smile every time I see it.

Also this week tickets for V's visit in October were arranged. I'm greatly looking forward to that. Since I'm such a planner I've already been debating what sorts of places I want to show her and things we can do.

Birthdays are generally a time when I do a bit of reflecting, and also decide on what I want to change or do over the next year, so probably some of that will be showing up here in the next few days.

I hope everyone who gets one, enjoys the long weekend. Party lots for me and then on Tuesday you can all come and entertain me with stories of sex and wild times.

    Happy birthday Shasta. I’m so glad you enjoyed the postcard and liked your birthday gift. :) Sorry to hear you got your period for your birthday. I got my period also now and it’s been yucky for the long weekend.
    Have a good long weekend and birthday!
