Today is May 8th. It would have been my Grandma’s 79th birthday today had she not died of some horrible cancer 2 years ago on her birthday. I miss having the most fun Grandma ever. What other grandma would take an 11 year old out to bars for dancing and drinking Kiddie Cocktails till bar time? If there is such a place as heaven I hope she and her sisters are mixing it up and creating a whole new reputation for themselves.

3 days til…
On a less somber note…
Sunday is Mothers Day. I keep wondering if I qualify? Does the act/process of gestating make you a mother? Probably not. However, if there is a Hallmark card for the pregnant crowd, my mother WILL find it and send it to me. She’s Hallmark’s best customer. I should send flowers since a card won’t get there on time now. Damnit. On the bright side, last year my birthday fell on Mother’s Day which always sucks. In my relatively short life my birthday has fallen on that date 5 times! No one wants to give you a birthday party on someone elses holiday and NOW that I’ll be able to enjoy double the party on Mothers day, my birthday won’t fall on it again until 2013!!!!! Hooray Pepetual Calendars.

Four Days til…
My 31st birthday…(ugh) I have a dentist’s appointment on my birthday. I hope this isn’t an omen of bad birthdays to come. I still have a very good recollection (surprising, I know…) of my 21st birthday. It doesn’t actually seem possible that I’m nearing my 31st! What the hell have I done with the last decade? I can look back on a lot of it and say ‘At least I had fun’ and I guess thats what really matters, right?

Five Days til…
My Level II Ultrasound. I’m sure you’re wondering what that is, or you’re hoping I don’t tell you because its some boring baby stuff. Well… it IS boring baby stuff. Assuming the blaby cooperates and flashes the right bits our way I can stop calling it “It” and start calling it he or she.

Eight Days til…
CLOSING!
EEK! In 8 days we’ll own a house. In Ashburn, Virginia. We won’t be able to go into it until June 5th and move in until June 14th, but damnit, we’re going to own a house.
