Yup, I'm 30

Here is my awesome cookie cake for my 30th birthday. Thank you to all who sent cards and emails.

It wasn't that bad. It didn't hurt :)

My visit with my mom was great! We went shopping and went out to dinner a couple of times. I did cry but only b/c I thought I broke the wash machine. And b/c my cookie/cake was awesome!

I actually did break the washer. One of my little socks was stuck in the drain pump line so the washer was filled with 5-6 inches of water. A $30 service call fixed that and I just had to swallow the embarassment.

Mom and I got to go to the Joslyn Art Museum. I haven't been there since our wedding.
That's almost 2 years ago! I should go more often but the only time it's free admission is on Saturday mornings and Dan is always working! Boo to having no friends.

We are gearing up for our huge Superbowl extravaganza. We host an annual party and serve beer and lots of food. It's always fun. We watch Puppybowl on Animal Planet instead of the normal half-time show. And yes, Bruce Springsteen in the king but, he's old and lame. Puppies running around in a pen is WAY cuter! I recommend that to anyone looking for an alternative to the half-time show.

My goal for next week is to go a week without crying. I think I can do it. Dan and I have ballroom 2x a week now so that will keep my mind off of hating my job. Always look for the positve, right? I'll probably post pics from the party on Sunday. We're rooting for the Cardinals since they are the underdogs. Looking forward to better times ahead. I filled out a job app. when mom was visiting. More will get filled out soon.

Go Cards!!
