For my 18th birthday, I got chicken pox, and on my 21st birthday I had a party that only one person showed up to (because the other people whom I called my friends didn&#8217;t feel like driving out to where I lived).

Today we went to see Grandma&#8217;s Boy which wasn&#8217;t bad. Not as funny as I was expecting, but still good. We had an AMC ticket package I ordered with our Discover cash back (god how I love that cash back) which gave us two free tickets, two free small popcorns, and a free small drink. For $1 we upgraded to a large drink and we were set. Before the movie we had a light lunch at California Pizza kitchen. Just a nice laid back day. I kept to my self-imposed rule and didn&#8217;t once check my work e-mail from home. I&#8217;ve been stressing out too much over work stuff lately and I refuse to let it ruin my birthday weekend.<\/p>\n<p>We did a little straightening up when we got home. Joe vacuumed while I reorganized my desk area and the linen closet. Now I&#8217;m ready to veg the rest of the evening and eat some brownie cheesecake we picked up from Target to substitute for birthday cake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We celebrated my birthday today instead of yesterday because I wasn&#8217;t feeling well and didn&#8217;t crawl out of bed until 2 pm.
