Since....

My birthday was less than stellar due to the flu. This has become my unofficial birthday weekend. Yeah!!! Went hiking yesterday. Spent three hours in the woods with a nervous friend who thought we were going to be the leading story on the 11PM news. "Two young women lost in the woods on Lookout Mountain. Only the car left in the parking lot to indicate their existence...." I enjoyed the time out in the sun and fresh air immensely. And just like I kept telling her, if we follow the trail it will lead back to the beginning. It did.

I bought myself a birthday gift... a 19" LCD widescreen monitor. Very nice! I am loving the expansive screen, the vastness of viewing area and the ability to have several windows pulled up at once. And it works well for watching movies too.

Tonight I am going out to eat at a fabulous Italian restaurant with family. I think I shall have at least one glass of wine. There is also a chance that a certain guy will accompany me too. Happy "pseudo" birthday to me!
