Today is my birthday!!

July 22, 1963.

Last night, Hubby took me out to dinner (he had the day off but is working today and doesn't usually get home til 9 pm). We picked Olive Garden

We stopped at Macys afterward to look around, eyeballing a smaller Zojirushi rice-cooker to replace the POS one we have. What? Not a romantic present? We don't do "presents"--I could pretty much buy whatever I want (within reason) and he'd be fine, as long as I got it at a good price.

So, one week from right now, I'll be starting my last day of the Bar exam and looking forward to going to Disneyland!

Happy Birthday propita. You share your birthday with my cat Squeaky ~ I hope you got more that 'tasty treats'

 

[Niorah]

Happy birthday! And I hope your bar exam will go splendidly.

Thanks all!

I realized that my post reads pretty disjointed. That's about where my head is lately. And "buy pretty much anything I want"? It's not that we're rich; it's that I really don't want a lot. Now, if I were a size 8 .... well, that's another story

I hope you get a late birthday present from the CA BAR Association!

Happy Birthday and best wishes, propita

I am under strict orders from my daughter to get some Chicken Scampi next time we go to Olive Garden - apparently its petty good

Happy Birthday and good luck on the Bar.

It was my birthday a few weeks ago, but didn't say anything. I missed the cake though.

Hey, that sounds like a commercial.

Happy Birthday!! Sounds like it was a good one.

(I'm planning to be at the Dallas "Can't Stop the Serenity" for mine )

I know you will knock the socks off the Bar. Remember to focus and breathe!

Happy birthday, and best of luck on passing the Bar.

Thanks, guys!

My mood has really gone downhill. Tomorrow, Hubby and I leave for Pasadena for me to take the Bar exam. Today, I am going insane.

I can't remember anything and am stressed out so much, how I'm conscious, I don't know. And my poor reaction to all this stress is really pushing me to some self-loathing. Why can't I handle heavy stress like most people? Why do I get so damn upset? It's an aspect of me that I honestly hate about myself.

I think that having literally no one to talk to for the last week or so hasn't helped. Hubby's home in the mornings and at night, but I don't want to push all of this on him. And I'm fine in the mornings, until he leaves. Then I try to study--or not, since that freaks me out and I'm trying to hold on. And when he gets home, I'm only up for an hour or two.

I'm telling myself that it's only FOUR MORE DAYS--just hold out four more days. This time Thursday, it'll be over forever. I will not put myself through this ever again. I don't think I could. I think I'd lose it for good.

Anyway ... thanks for letting me vent. And thanks for the birthday wishes. Sometimes belated wishes are the best kind.
