the morning after?

i'm so damn sleepy... and a little off in general...

but i'd say it was a good birthday : )
it partially started a day eary, as most of yesterday was spent driving.
had a really yummy and nice dinner wednesday night... and although there weren't a lot of people at the club *stares at you*, i had a good time : )

yesterday i definately enjoyed sleeping in a little extra, as well as indian food for brunch (thank you), then decided to put off going to the RMV till monday and left around 1:30.
and it was a hellish drive. i passed hartford at 3 o'clock and didn't make it into jersey till almost 6. traffic around waterbury and bumper to bumper for about 15 miles before the tappan zee. bleagh.
then i got to drop my car off at a mechanic's, grab a loaner (an old caddy. driving it reminded me of my stepdad's old delta 88, and its not much of a pleasant memory) amd make it here.
and, of course, my family barely gave me time to breathe before we were off to dinner.
which isn't as pleasant as it could be with a 2-year old, and the place was mediocre anyways (some place a friend of the family had recommended) - but it was a sweet thought, and after the mushroom appetizers got devoured i was calmed down enough to actually be not-bitchy...

and wow... it sounds like i had a lousy time. i didn't. i'm just slightly off now.

when we got back to the house, my mommy gave me some bday presents. and in case i don't say this enough, my mom rocks.
she hit the same sale at vicky's as i had during lunch sometime last week, and on top of getting me a bra i'd picked out for myself (in a different color) got me a few more really cool bras and a lace long sleeved top! *bounce* my bra crisis has now been solved : )

and then we had tea & went to bed. yeah, what i wouldn't give to be back in bed right now...

*grumbles*

i'd nearly forgotten about the suckiest part of being here.
in a few minutes, i have to go shower & primp for a family dinner.
by the time dinner is over, i will not be able to go online.

and tomrrow, i will leave before i can go online, so i'm being cut off for more then 24 hours.
and again, its not the fact that i can't get online - i've gone for a week while on vacation - its that i'm not allowed.

another less then pleasant thought, that came to me on the drive up here, is that tomorrow's plans are the first that take me into my father's neighborhood. and if he heard about the concert, it wouldn't take much to figure out that i'd prolly be there.
now, i know the chances of him actually doing anything with this knowledge, if he knows about the concert, are slim to none. it just makes me feel less then comfortable and slightly jumpy.

but other then that, i'm actually in a good mood : )

(off to say hi to grandparents & run to shower - i really meant to be de-ickified before they arrived!)
