One score and 9 years ago...

...Delle weighed 8 lbs and some-odd ounces!

Holy crap...I always thought that that had been a lot, but I could take baby-me and do tricep curls with her..LOL! Maybe I wasn't such a fat baby after all!

It was a good birthday, not that I'm much bothered about them. It's never been a very big deal for me, having it so close to Christmas and everyone always been too distracted to pay much mind. F has a thing about wanting to be the first person to wish you happy birthday, and I woke up sometime after midnight to the sound of my answering machine kicking in, then I got a singing birthday message from her that was too awesome. I was quite amused to listen to her sing in 4 different languages, definitely a message I am going to be keeping. Work was fine, I had fun with coworkers, then when my shift was over, F came and fetched me and we went to Applebees for supper. I ate light earlier in the day, and decided not to stress too much about the meal. Applebees has been one of my fav places to go out to since I moved here, and we've always gone there on my special occasions. I got my favorite chicken fajitas, and I requested no quacamole (sp?) or whatever sour cream stuff normally comes with. I also didn't have any alcohol, as normally I will have a pint or two, and just had water the whole time. I didn't order dessert, even tho I was coaxed and cajoled to do so. However F and L told the server that it was my b-day, and I looked at her and said, you're not going to sing at me are you? and she said no, of course not! and of course she got her fellow servers and they all came singing and clapping and presented me with a dessert dish. I asked for more spoons and tried to get the others to help me eat it, but they very stubbornly left most of it to me. I did end up eating it, thankfully it was one scoop of ice cream and one little square of fudge brownie. It tasted like sin itself and I savoured it. I also didn't beat myself up over it; I've been good, and I definitely won't ever be seeking the stuff out for myself. I've not had dessert anything since June, the most I've had has been fat-free jello pudding, which is nothing much. It was a wonderful treat, supper and the dessert, and I didn't try to track it when I got home, tho maybe I should try before the week is out. I figure I'll just eat within my DPs for the rest of the week, and try to leave most if not all of my FPs, and that should cover it fine. After supper F and I went to the movies and saw "The Golden Compass", which was decent enough. I was excited that there was a preview for the new Narnia movie, I'm definitely looking forward to seeing that one. The first Narnia movie had been my birthday movie a couple of years ago, and if the next one was playing next winter, it would be birthday movie 2008, but it is going to be a summer movie, if I remember correctly. That's okay, I'm sure there will be something that will suit. When I got home there was another singing b-day message waiting for me, this time from B, which was real sweet of him. Either way I am at peace with my age and very aware that this time last year I was actually quite down, thinking that it would only be two years before I'm 30 years old. This year is completely different; I'm so excited to be turning 29...this is going to be my year, I feel this in my bones. I'm going to end off my 20s on the highest point I have ever been in my life. One year from now I am going to look back and think it was my best year ever, and how could anyone be depressed turning 30 after having such a kick-ass year as I am going to make this one be?
