i decided to make up for being gone by updating this so-called diary with everything that happened since my last entry.

ok, let's start with my birthday, which sucked big time. my husbands's grandmother decided to od on sleeping pills three days prior to the big day, which means she spent about 2 weeks in the hospital when nobody knew how the day would end. so basically i didn't have a birthday. oh, my husband did manage to get one of my friends to organize a surprise birthday party which was pretty poorly orchestrated. my food was way to spicy for me to enjoy and then we got stuck in traffic on the way home for almost 2 hours. two weeks later i bought myself a present, the price of which still bothers my husband tremendously. true we could have bought a new tv for the same $$$ but i don't think it would look as good on me as the diamond earrings i ended up getting. i felt that after such a butchered birthday, i deserve something just for me.
