always, always in the best possible ways. :)
I won a vacation in Florida today. I never win things, and now I can stop saying that! How nifty. I'm still kind of surpised by it. Elated and surprised.
My birthday, well I guess month, has been absolutely incredible. My Mom gave me a new Eeyore tank and coffee mug, a beatiful carosel horse tapestery, her blessing and non-judgement on me not wanting to be here in Unalakleet on my birthday and support in being weird and random and getting a ticket outta here. I feel like there was something else and it's not jumping into my head at the moment. Needless to say she spoiled me rotten, and I loved it.
I left Unalakleet the Tuesday before my birthday and arrived in Montana on Wednesday. I cruised from Missoula on over to Bozeman and of course J and I started celebrating. :) A celebration that lasted from Wednesday till Sunday. Whatta friend, let me tell you! We went out on Wednesday. Thursday morning we made a great breakfast and had lovely mimosas, and Thursday evening we played cards with his friends and went to see live music. Friday was lazy and slow, perfect for gearing up for Friday night, which was Brewfest with lots and lots of lovely microbrews and his very nice friends who were incredibly welcoming and accepting. Saturday, he grilled steaks, made a salad and cooked asparagus for my birthday feast and then we went out Saturday night. I got good and toasted and had a marvelous time. Sunday was haggard but a good drive to Missoula. Couldn't have asked for a better actual birthday day.
Missoula was mellow and happy. Hanna is doing so good and it makes me so happy to see that. Luke is doing really well too and it just makes my heart happy. I think it makes Mama Rodli happy too. Lots of happiness there. We cooked a lot, ate a lot. Hanna and I were able to talk and it felt like old times. Good times. More... normal.
Here back at home I had a delayed pseudo party with my Mom, Hazel, Karis, and Sy. I cooked dinner and made a cake and we played games. Karis gave me an awfully marvelous hat and boa to wear and Sy gave me Disaronno. :) I love my friends, dearly. Quite a random bunch too, but once the ice was broken everything was perfect.
And now a vacation. In Florida. I'm pretty much happy right now. Even thought I'm restless, I'm happy. It's a good thing.
