Friends

I got an e-mail from Ganine about the differences between simple friends and real friends. It was one of those "Pass this on to all your friends, including me" things. I generally don't forward much of anything on to anyone. As I read the list, however, I felt somewhat sad. I started thinking, who are my simple friends? Who are my real friends? And I realized that most people in my life are superficial friends. I pretend to know you by reading your blogs or looking at your Facebook status', but am I really your friend, be it simple or real?

What can I do to change that?

What kind of friends do you have in your life?

Perfect Birthday

I turned 35 last week and had the best birthday.

It snowed, I got to volunteer in Evan's classroom, Bryan made a fantastic dinner and even surprised me with a few guests for dessert. (thank you) Many people sent me a quick "Happy Birthday" via Facebook and some people even took the extra effort to call me.

I don't have any strange feelings about turning 35 and honestly, I didn't think I'd get many, if any, greetings for my birthday. So, to see that some people really care for me made my day. Thanks to you all.

I like birthdays.
