Birthdays
Today is Bonnie's birthday. We both turned 35 this year (well, for me, technically, it was last year, since I was born in the middle of December). She doesn't handle birthdays very well -- gets depressed easily, and this year is no exception. It's funny how things change as you get older and birthdays go from something to be celebrated and rejoiced over to something that you really don't want to see happen and certainly don't look forward to.
She got some nice gifts from the kids and me, though, and our friend Lori was kind enough to bake Bonnie a cake -- Lori does it from scratch, so it's extra-special. She also got a number of cards from relatives. Hopefully she'll make a happy day out of it, because the rest of us are trying to.
