bullet points

Somehow time has gotten the best of me and suddenly it's been a week since I last posted. So I have a lot to talk about but am too lazy to type it all out but too little time to post each individual thing. So, here's a bullet list:

• Social Butterfly. I have been all about the socializing of late. Last Thursday, I met up with "The Girls" for dinner. Kiki, Uncle Steve and AJ were in town all weekend. On Friday, my friend Susie and her fam (minus the twins) stopped by for lunch. We met up with our old college roommates (lovingly referred to as The Ditch) to go to the UVA game on Saturday. Though, it was really rainy and we actually never got around to going into the game, preferring to tailgate the entire time. I swear, I've talked to more people who are not immediate family members in the last week than I did the entire month of September!
  
• Birthday. Today's my birthday (and Kiki's, too)! I'm 35, which means that I'm now eligible to be President. This one has been a harder pill to swallow than ones in years past...since from here on out I'm closer to 40 than 30. However, I still consider myself to be 27, so I'm taking it all in stride.
  
• Halloween. The girls are getting excited for Halloween. We're making their costumes this year, which has *disaster* written all over it. Even though they are going as cats, and by definition all you need are ears and a tail so how hard can it be? Also worrisome? A insists that she's going to be Tinkerbell, and I fear she doesn't mean Tinkerbell the Cat. I'm sure hilarity will ensue regarding this in the next few days.
  

And, that's all I really got for you now. We're headed out to dinner tonight for my birthday. And then we're making cat ears and tails. Yep. I'm ringing 35 in with a bang!
