This past week was exciting and anxiety filled all at the same time. Yes. Yes it was. Ha! Ha! Ha! It was the good, fun, and fug, I pulled it off kind of excitement. What could possibly be the cause? Ahhh…birthday time. I love, love, love birthdays. I love my own birthday so much I celebrate it thirty days before and thirty days after. In my view birthdays are the moment! Where ya been? Where ya going? Whatcha doing, gonna do? My god the beautiful fuggn’ souls that have been born into this experience called Gaia and now I get to have the pleasure of meeting and celebrating that day! Hell yes. As such it was the case with the husband this past week. And let’s be clear that at times, this man is a royal pain in the ass. To the point, I suspended all his financial decision making, so this was going to be an “easier” birthday. Ha! OMG..at least that had been the plan.

The Surprise
I had an simple, simple idea of what I wanted to get him to celebrate. I saw it just the other day and talked myself right out of picking it up. I didn’t want it found and there was no where to hide such a gift. Okay. Cool. I will wait till the last minute – which is a huge leap for me. Two days before his birthday, I go into a remodeling store and wouldn’t you know it – it’s lost to another part of the store or down an aisle not to be seen till whenever. Doh! Okay. I’m good at solutions, and the one before me…upgrade the television.

Now, I probably should have brought a roll of quarters with me to count all the cussing I kind of had an idea I’d be inwardly and aloud. I know and knew better than to put anything off, especially birthday surprises.

Here it is: I’m short; I can’t even get my arms to either side of the box. The darn thing wasn’t fitting in the car even with the seats down. It’s hot. And I’m under the gun for “time”. I know a few folks couldn’t help but laughing along with me as this was quite the sight to behold. What chaos, but a good laugh. Eventually, I did call in the back-up and got it back for installation. Everything was totally worth it though. Celebration! My financial decision making was not revoked. Ha!

In other highlights:

I have renamed, re-nicked named, two grandmas of the complex to the OGG‘s, not that original but funny to me. These women are fighting over a man that women, shaking my head, he ain’t worth it, but you have fun with that. The shenanigan’s are beyond any type of story I’ve seen before. Ha! Who needs a television when real life plays? Ha!

At the other job this weekend, it was all about the coins. Have you seen the quarters with the stamp of “In COD we trust” …??? A construction worker and myself have gone back and forth in coin discussions. I had told him about it and his curiosity was peaked. Needless to say, when I had four of those bad boys come in this this weekend, I gave him one. Joy!

Keep on…keep on…let your birthday be fun. Let the real life OG’s teach ya a thing or two. And remember to always check your coins. Whoop! Arigato!
