Surprise!

I've been the blogging delinquent, but I had to write something about my birthday before too much time had gone by. I turned thirty this year... which I'm completely OK with. Because isn't 30 the new 20, now that the new 40 is 60? I'm using a graduated scale of course. And I keep reading and hearing everywhere that women start to feel self-confident and comfortable in their own skin in their 30's. I don't really agree with this, but maybe it's something I can look forward to.

So I wasn't expecting much in terms of a celebration for my milestone birthday, because no one really wants to see a pregnant lady partying it up. But my hubs knew that I wouldn't be completely content celebrating with just him and GMK at home (which we did, as well.) Anyway, he ended up surprising me with a nice (not too big, not too small) birthday dinner with a bunch of friends in New York. I was sincerely surprised, and shocked that KCK had it in him to keep it a secret. He's the worst at secrets and puts his foot in his mouth all the time. But this time, he totally pulled it off. We went to a nice Mexican restaurant where we were led upstairs to our table. I was really hungry so I kept looking at the food on the other tables as I walked by. I was commenting on how the freshly made guacamole looked really yummy, when I looked up and saw a bunch of my friends as they shouted, "Happy Birthday!" Yup, it was happy, all right.
