The birthday weekend was great. We went out to dinner on Saturday night and on Sunday we went off-roading. There was a pumpkin carving contest at work and while I didn't want to do it, Nick was incredible about getting me a pumpkin, patiently carving it and creating something really wonderful.

I won first place and got three extra hours paid from work. Which right now, is good because work is incredibly slow and I am not the type of person to enjoy doing nothing at work.

I've also uploaded a video of Nick reading his birthday card. It's a really big file.

Nick called me an hour ago from work, he found one of his co-workers dead. I cannot even begin to explain how this is going to affect him. He seemed pretty shaken up and I'm sitting at work, watching all the craziness from my co-workers and cannot wait to run home and wait for him.

Sometimes, you cannot find the words to explain or console, but being there is enough. I hope it's enough.

The gifts are wrapped:

The pignoli cookies are bought (from the only place in the entire state that sells them):

The dog is bathed:

The card is written:

The hair has a new cut (6 inches off!!):

We are ready to celebrate my boy's 36th Birthday! All that remains is for him to come home from work so that we can enjoy our evening. I do love him so.

Nick and I spent about an hour last night playing around with Google Earth. We're such geeks ... he showed me the house where he grew up in, where most of his and his sister's friends lived, where he went to school and where he became a hick.

Yes, tis true, I live with a hick. He's a four-wheelin', plaid coat wearing, feels most comfortable in the outdoors, wants a sawed off shotgun hick. Needless to say, we're working on it.

His compromise ... he's going to the museum with me.

He's my heart. He's also the one that helped me figure out Movable Type again. I'll be making changes again soon. As soon as I have time to figure out what the heck I'm doing!
