What? It's my birthday?

So after you have WLS there isn't a lot of celebrating on your birthday. You don't have cake (maybe next year), you don't drink alcohol (why waste the calories) and you don't go out to dinner... celebrating with food is just kind of pointless. I eat approx. 550-650 calories daily and don't need 100 of those calories to be taken up by just any old thing.

My friends kept asking what I wanted to do and I couldn't come up with anything. Ben ended up having to work late. So where else does one go? The happiest place on earth, you say? Of course! The yarn store! Yay! Not just any yarn store, but my home away from home - TYF.

Wow! Am I spoiled? Sammy bought me a set of interchangeable addi clicks for my birthday.



Yes, seriously. I have never received such a special gift from a friend. It was a complete and utter surprise. Something I don't think I ever would have done for myself. They are lovely.

Also, I had all kinds of old friends (some I hadn't seen in 20+ years) wish me well on Facebook. It's cheesy, but it was so nice to hear from people I don't always hear from. I think there were probably 100 people on FB wishing me a happy birthday. Crazy.

So, I woke up saying "it doesn't feel like my birthday". I'm going to bed dreaming of the "click, click, click" noise that my new Addis make and missing so many people that I love dearly, wishing I could fly to NY, MN, IL, Greece, Israel, Portland, etc. to see all of my loves.

Yay!
