Not So Happy Birthday To Me...

As you may know this trip was originally planned to celebrate my 40th birthday in a BIG way because generally my birthday gets overlooked, forgotten or combined with Christmas and that just sucks. So to save Charley trying to find people to come to a 40th birthday party two days before Christmas we opted for this trip.

We have had rain more days than not on our vacation but we had sun on Sunday and Monday so I was excited for my birthday to be sunny. I had every intention of doing something bold for my birthday to make it memorable and kind of as a screw you to cancer as well. But when I got up Tuesday almost as if on queue the rain started. So there went the birthday plans.


So after a bit of a crying jag from me - honestly I think the crying was more due to some pent up emotions from the cancer than anything else but of course I was disappointed that the day was rained out. Our day was spent sitting around the condo watching a marathon of NCIS on cable. Exciting eh?

We did eventually go back to Mariachi's for dinner but I felt kind of cruddy and really wasn't in the spirit of being excited that it was my birthday. Charley did give me a lovely card and a diamond and sapphire tennis bracelet to match my earrings and necklace from last year.

So there ya have it.... the less than eventful way my 40th year was ushered in. I think I'm just gonna give up on my birthday at this point - it's the curse of being so close to Christmas I guess.

This is our friendly amusing waiter at Mariachi's and clearly he was having a better time that night than I was.
