I know many of you are wondering where I've been. The truth is that I've just gotten a little lazy with updating my blog. I am going to turn that around. I have many dedicated readers and I will work hard to not disappoint.
This week is a wonderful week because it has my birthday in it. My husband and I always spoil each other the entire week of our birthdays, we have coined the term 'Birthday Hanakuah'. Whether it's a major birthday, and we are throwing a party, or just one that doesn't mean much to us we treat each other like royalty that week. My week so far has rocked!
For Christmas Kyle bought me this wonderful charm bracelet that has become my favorite piece of jewelry, second only to my wedding ring. For my birthday I've received 6 new charms for it and I'm just delighted. Monday I came home from work to a dozen long stem red roses, and yesterday a really fun card with a little credit card sized plastic card inside it describing how much he loves me and that we are soul mates. It now resides in my wallet and every time I go to pull out money or my debit card I'll see it and it will make me smile.
I'm home relaxing on the couch just waiting for my wonderful man to come home and spend another night of wine drinking fun. My life is full and wonderful. My sister (who's name we do not speak) bought me a bottle of my favorite red wine, Benzinger, and I plan to drink that tomorrow night, my actual birthday with a nice big steak dinner.
On a side note, we haven't gotten into a routine with our Kinect yet, but we sure have enjoyed playing with all the new, and fantastic, features the Xbox has. Watching Netflix through the Xbox is quite entertaining to us, and we are only at the very beginning of understanding all it's bells and whistles. The thing that makes us more crazy and frustrated than anything is the stupid remote. It never fails but we'll forget how sensitive it is and it will be on the couch next to one of us, inevitably it gets tapped and voila, the movie we are watching goes into hyperdrive fast forward, or stops, or something else funky. We actually couldn't figure out how to pause a movie one night, and literally had to tell a friend who called, we'd have to call them back because we couldn't get it to pause. That moment made us feel really good about ourselves. You people with children are lucky. The kids these days are born with a chip inside their brains that enable them to know how to use and play every gaming system and remote control out there.
We have a very good friend, Jeremy, who came over a couple Saturday's ago and got us started on figuring it out, (and hooking our new TV to our surround sound, man I suck at that stuff). We are hosting he, and our good friends Kathy and Steve, this Saturday to play Kinect so we will be A) getting off the couch and B) learning more about how it all works and what all it can do.
Oh and I ordered a Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix Xbox game to nourish my nerdy side. I loves me some Harry Potter.
