My Birthday Eve

OK, so it's my Birthday Eve.  My family all wished me a happy Birthday Eve this morning.  What a cool family.

My BFF Tammy emailed me today, and asked me to stop by on the way home.  She gave me the coolest Bday gift.  I'll share tomorrow, but it's so cool, the way it happened.

When I was on the way home, I was instructed to stop at Quik Trip and buy a powerball ticket.  When I came out and backed out of my parking spot, this weird chick was taking my picture.  That's a weird feeling.  Then, I realized that she was taking my picture from the back of a white Honda Goldwing.  What????  Yeah, it was Mom.  *sigh*  How small-town weird is that?  LOL

I got home to pizza and Pringles.  My favorite dinner EVER!  My birthday eve is the best ever!  Oh, and the card that Mom sent?  It made me cry.  I miss you, Grandma.  Maybe I'll share that tomorrow, too.

Tomorrow night, I have to pack for a 6-day convention trip.  That's my longest trip ever.  Check back here this weekend for pictures from Vegas.  I'm excited, scared, and worried.  It'll be a great trip, but my family will be here.

Kevin has to return to work on Monday.  Of all the bad timing in the world, I'm gone until Wednesday night.  I hope we can call upon Mom a bit. This sucks.  Kevin is on "desk duty" for a while.  That is laughable, since there isn't a DESK be be found where he works.  Anyway, he will go in and stand around for 9 1/2 hours per day.  sheesh.

OK, time for bed.  I hope you all had a great "Rachel's Birthday Eve" and I hope tomorrow is even better.  It'll be a DANG good day for me.

Happy Birthday To You !! Wishing you many Birthday Blessings. I like the Birthday eve idea too. That was really nice for your family to do that for you . I know you will miss your family while you are gone to Vegas , but yes it is a great place to visit. I went there for my first time last year with my neice . So much to see. Ride the monorail some while you are there and you can see alot. Take care and enjoy your Special Day.
