my Birthday

Turning 46 was a mixed blessing.  Yesterday we did a ton of yard work so I woke up today hurting...because I'm old.  Kelly Parker took me out to Dee's for lunch, I sewed on my Kaylee patches and Mal's stripes, and then my family took me out to Souper Salads and showered me with presents.  The best was saved for last: Rob got me (us) Season 2 and 3 of Game of Thrones.  Eventually there will have to be a GOT family cosplay.  I can see it now: Rob as Ned, Me as Catelyn, Seth as Rob, Sylvan as Jon Snow, and Sarah as Sansa.  I realize that 3/5 of us die, but the kids don't know that.  Anyway, Seth had another little league game afterwards and they got trounced.  The other team's pitcher threw a no-hitter and it ended 10-0.  At least Seth went down swinging.  The bright side was that when we got home our path was lit by my other presents: solar-powered, light-up, color-changing lawn ornaments.  (SHINY!)  So the backyard looks like it's inhabited by faeries and all that hard work yesterday really paid off.
