Birthday update

I've had a good birthday. Lots of birthday wishes via phone, email, etc. I did get a pedicure today and caught up on People magazines. We went to dinner tonight at Los Compadres, made it all the way through dinner without incident. We were enjoying the last of a pretty good margarita when a horrific loud noise started coming through the wall in our booth. Laine was sitting next to the wall and started crying. A jackhammer in the construction zone next to the restaurant was on the other side of the wall. Laine was crying and saying she wanted to go home. So I packed her up and we went to the shoe store in the same strip mall. She got a pair of multi-colored sandals. Then we came home to eat some cake that my friend Brooke brought me.
