And Happy Birthday to Me

Today was my birthday (and, technically, Dhane's). We didn't do much out here; the realities of work and the cold unfeeling scheduling of medical school deferring any celebration for another night. Today at work was one of those days where everything went wrong (but most of it wasn't my fault), and unexpected construction added too much time to my commute home. Once I picked up Jason and got home, my day did improve. I made one of my favorite family recipes, which isn't tamales, for us, played some Madden on the Wii, and relaxed in the evening.

Before Jason was born I didn't do much of anything on my birthday. One year Sonya and I had several people over for a board game night--several people who should have known it was my birthday. Weren't they all surprised when Sonya came out with cake!

Since Jason's birthday is also in January, I celebrate with him. Sonya's birthday is easier to celebrate separately; hers is in June, and people are more eager to come to birthday parties when the temperature is above 20F.
