To be young again

.... would be the worst fate I could ever imagine.

Saturday I celebrated my 37th Birthday. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by friends and family.

It was a great weekend, my dear friend Sarah came down from Denver to spend some time with me - and I appreciate that so much! Not many people have bothered to take the trip down to visit me (it is always easier for them to let me do all the traveling, I suppose) but Sar was a good sport and endured the GRUELLING one hour dualprop ride from Denver to Albuquerque... and I treated her with a Friday night visit to Urgent Care. Hey, I KNOW how to entertain my guests! LOL.

It turns out I have quite the nasty case of Bronchitis. I've been fighting an upper respiratory ailment for a month now (It started when I was in D.C. on a business trip) and the doctor decided it was time to load me up with antibiotics and a cough syrup concoction that would take down an elephant.

Alas, Sar was a doll and she put up with my sickiness. She totally mommed me. heh. But I got myself up and we had a nice afternoon strolling around Old Town, and we played video games and ate great food :) Saturday night I treated my pals to pizza and everyone else had to drink in my honor, since I couldn't join in with the boozin.

I was threatened with bodily harm if I didn't stay home from work today - so here I am, my lappy is VPN'd in and I'm working FROM HOME. I've only conferenced in to one meeting and I didn't promise not to do that. (so THERE!) But, I'm in my sweats and my bronco hoodie so I'm happy... well, and the drugged out version of my cough syrup helps.

That sounds like a great birthday! Nothing makes a special day better than a trip to the hospital!

I hope you feel better soon. Enjoy working from home!

It was so nice, and please don't be coy and forget to omit that you are the reason I was able to come to you. I couldn't afford it on my own, no way! YOU ROCKS BABY@

And you were uber tough. Next time I come, you will have to do a make up shot with me for the ones missed this bday!

Xo,
LOVE YA"S!
