Yes today is my birthday, but I'm not going to be 30 today. I decided after a long talk with my grandpa that I'm just going to be 29....again. He said that you can stay whatever age you want to until your oldest child reaches that age, so he told me that he is 59! LOL.
Last night I tried to upload the knitting pics finally, but blogger was being a butthead, so I'll try again this evening.
Over the weekend there was a lot of knitting because I was determined to NOT DO ANYTHING PRODUCTIVE besides knitting. Now, I didn't completely accomplish this, but I tried really really hard! LOL. Friday night, the girls went to the ILs and Mr. Outdoors took me to Tulsa, to the Cherokee Casino. He took me to the buffet there, but unluckily it was a Seafood buffet. I HATE anything that ever lived in water or swam. Mr. Outdoors got mad at me because all I would eat was a salad. All the side dishes even had seafood in them. Finally after him saying, "I paid $20 for you to eat a small salad!" I said, "Be quiet, I'll eat the $20 if you don't say anything to me." He agree so I got up and got a dinner plate, went to the dessert tables and piled anything chocolate on my plate. It was AWESOME!!! I'm sure my thighs are mad at me, but they just can be. We went gambling after that and Mr. Outdoors lost all of his money and I was down to my last $5 when I hit $60.00 in pennies. I gave him his $40 back and started gambling on my winnings. I ended up winning almost $200, although I only came home with $150. I had to keep giving Mr. Outdoors $5 bills to go away and let me gamble! It was a good time.
Sunday the girls took me (even though I had to drive) to Woolaroc a wild animal preserve and museum about 10 miles south of us. We had a great time. Mr. Outdoors stayed home and painted our living room.
So far my birthday is going ok. Mr. Outdoors let me sleep in this morning! WTF??? You don't let someone sleep in 30 minutes later, when they have to get up and go to work today! LOL. Then while I was putting on my makeup, he says, "You don't look THAT old for 30!". I told him that he was taking the girls to school this morning since I was late and then left. He is such a guy. Guys just don't get that aging is harder on women (as a whole) than on men. I received a bunch of nice phone calls on my way to work including my dear friend Barb from Nebraska.
Today is our busy day after work. I have to work late (faculty meeting), we have dance lessons and soccer tonight, so I'm not anticipating that much this evening. Although, it would be nice to receive a card from the girls or something. I told Mr. Outdoors that I expected a birthday present from him because Friday night only cost him $20, and his birthday present is a trip to Nebraska to go pheasant hunting at the end of October for 4 days, so I'll be interested to see what he comes up with. LOL. Have a great day!

Happy birthday! Thirty was *great* for me, and the years since have been pretty cool, too. Wishing the same for you :-)
Thirty is the new twenty. I love my thirties. I feel so much more at home in my own self and that is a wonderful change from all of the self-doubt and insecurity which seems to be the 20's. Hope your day was great!
Happy late birthday! I am behind on my blog reading, but hope you had a great birthday and Mr. Outdoors got you a fabulous gift!
Happy belated birthday! I hope you have a wonderful year. And I like your grandpa's way of looking at age.
Happy belated birthday, yes I am behind in my blog reading too.
20's were spent looking good or at least trying to :)
30's are a time when you are completely happy in yourself and I for one would love to be 30 again ;)
