Woe is Me

Today I turned 35. It started out as an awesome birthday weekend and then turned a little sour. Recap of birthday weekend:

1) Friday night went to fair with Randy and the girls. Ate french fries and funnel cake and Delaney rode lots of rides. She showed no fear and on the mini rollercoaster that I rode with her she was screaming "Woo hooooooo!!!". We had an awesome pic of us that I took on the rollercoaster with Delaney and the biggest smile on her face. Reason pic is not posted will come later.......Maya loved the fair too. Give the girl some food---she is truly happy. Life has been easier taking Maya places because she is down to only two bottles a day---her 2:30 and 9:30 PM bottles. We will be weaning her off of those soon. The girl loves her some bottles though but she is doing great with sippie cups of milk.

2) Saturday Randy, Christy, and Dave and I did the Marine Corps Mud Run which is a 5.2 mile obstacle course of 32 obstacles that marine corps recruits actually do in basic training. There was a 15 foot wall, mud trenches, huge mud pits to wade through, etc....I only skipped two obstacles for time penalties---the parallel bars that Christy and I got on the first bar and then said no way, and the jumping into the water one and swimming to the other side. If you know me well enough you know I have the worst eyes in the world and I wasn't risky muddy contacts and being blind the rest of the course for a lousy two minute penalty. On one obstacle that I had to duck in the mud for one second underwater my eyes were already a mess for a while so I said no thank you to jumping in the water. It was truly an experience and I did things I never thought I would do in my life. I overcame some fears and I don't think I can call myself a pansy anymore. Randy was really proud of me. We were so disgusting at the end of the course and you can "shower" in these slightly barbaric outside showers but they really didn't take off the mud. Four showers later I was still pulling mud out of wrong places.

3) Randy had to let me in on my surprise my birthday morning because he knew I would fight it. He was surprising me for dinner with a bunch of my friends and Nutty and Stan and a real babysitter---Mrs. Vickie, Delaney's old teacher. We went to Blue for dinner and then...the ultimate mistake....went to Wet Willies for drinks afterwards. It was somewhat my choice because it was a gourgeous night and we could walk there and then sit outside. Here is where the birthday weekend turned crappy. I had my purse sitting in a chair and I walked away from the chair and my purse was stolen. Luckily the only things I had in it were my license, camera and phone, not my credit cards, but still it was devastating. Randy looked for it all night while Dave and I were at the house and the next day we GPS'd my phone to an apartment complex on the wrong side of the tracks. Randy filed a police report and he and an investigator looked at the videos from Wet Willies to find a suspect. Luckily there was a camera pointed at our table all night so they were able to gain a positive ID on the suspect. The investigator went to the apartment complex and spoke with the manager there to see where the suspect lived. That is it so far....I am writing this post on October 29 and still no answer. Damn Columbia cops certainly don't move too fast on things. I now don't think I will get my things back but I am holding on to some hope. I just want that "B" to be punished for her actions. Seriously.

Sooooo....there are no pics of fair or Mud Run because my stinkin' camera was stolen. It is not the actual camera I am upset about, or the phone, but the pics that were on my camera and my phone. I love me some pictures so I am upset but it is not the worst thing in the world. If I don't get my things back, I can't afford both a new camera and phone so I will have to consolidate. I Phone 4S anyone?

Happy Birthday to me. Sheesh.
