Birthday Wish
Dec. 31st, 2005 05:50 pm
Last night my coworkers accosted me in the hallway with a tiny little birthday cake & told me I couldn't make a work-related wish. Well, my non-work-related wish came true - it rained!
Sheung Yi, my Capricornian counterpart, went to the Bellagio & picked up these decadent little cakes - coffee layered, fudge mousse, pumpkin & carrot. These little cakes were unbelievable, and pretty, too. She also got me U2's 'How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb', and my current favorite song is 'Peace & Love or Else'. It's funky. Sheung Yi is a New Year's baby, and I can't go all out for her due to timing, but I got her a cupcake cake & a mini-mousse all her own, complete w/birthday candle.
The other day, Maggie called us. She's got a 3-yr old daughter & a new husband, been working security down at the courthouse. I don't think about her much, she was only a 2-time fling. It's weird to get calls like that out of the blue, and goes to show we should change our phone number more often.
Been thinking a lot about the relatively short lifespan of many of my relatives, thinking to myself that at 32 my life is about half over. The first 30 years went by so fast. Thinking about all my attempted suicides and how the easiest one is basically living til you die. It's a slow, painful and painfully dull suicide, but it has a huge success rate.
I have to work tonight, which means navigating traffic & road closures. Still got to cook dinner, wrap Sheung Yi's present, get dressed, etc. & so forth. Shooting to leave at 7:30 or 7:45. I'm having lamb for dinner!
