Happy Birthday to me!

Yes, it was my birthday - 32 this year. I remembered this year that this blog was originally started because I turned 30 - do I dare make another resolution to try and be a better, more faithful blogger???

I did get my main birthday wish! I had to have my foot checked yesterday, and I was so hoping that the big pink monstrosity of a cast would come off, and thank the Lord, it did! I still have to wear this air cast thing for three weeks, but that's okay - it is like a big plastic and foam boot with inflatable air pillows inside to keep everything still. At least I can take it off to shower and to sleep! So yesterday I had my first real shower in 3 weeks, which was a birthday wish! And I slept without a boot on, so that was awesome as well.

It is so funny, my right leg looks so skinny - I was joking with Tracy that I should cast the other one for 3 weeks, then maybe I would want to wear a skirt! LOL!!! It made me think of this time my cousin went for a seaweed wrap thing, and was so impressed by the shape and size of her knees when she was done! Yes, I know, beauty is so weird! Olivia said the other day that in the real story of The Little Mermaid, the mermaids had to fasten oysters to their tails, and the more you have, the higher your rank was. So the Grandmother says to the Little Mermaid, "One must suffer to be beautiful" because the oysters hurt! I couldn't help but laugh at her insight to some stuff, it is so true!

Anyway, here's to another year of trying to share our lives with those friends who still check in on us by this medium!
