| Chapter XXXVIII |

Okay, the night that I originally began this post my computer decided to die on me.

I thought it was the battery because the computer was plugged in but it wouldn't turn on. Wait, it would turn on but only for a split second. And even when I plugged it in, it didn't work.

I did notice, however, that the cord was bent at the tip where you plug into the laptop so I thought that may have been it. I'm guessing the battery may have drained and although the cord was plugged in, it really wasn't doing the charging.

It's been about a week and I randomly decided to plug it in tonight. I first tried my best to straighten out the tip and what do you know? It worked! I still don't know for a fact that that was indeed the problem but I think it very well might have been. At any rate, I'm so happy it's working again!

I love my MyTouch and it can pretty much do all the things my computer can but let's face it, the screen is a fraction of the size of the laptop and ditto on the keyboard so at the end of the day, it's just not the same.

Plus I can't play my Sims on it so that's definitely a drawback. :-)

Well, enough about that...let's carry on with other things...

First, my sweet husband bought me this adorable, tiny little cake for my birthday It was *so* rich and delicious. I guess he's alright in my book ;-) Hehe.

And aside from the cute little cake, he got me this--- Sims 3 World Adventures--- which I have gotten so addicted to for sure!

Well, on Friday, May 7, we decided to go to Lexington to celebrate my birthday- just the two of us. We stayed in a jacuzzi suite at the Comfort Inn and had a wonderful time! Although in retrospect, we did wind up paying quite a bit more for a jacuzzi that was only used for maybe a half hour or so, I did have a lot of fun.

When we got back to Somerset the next day (my birthday!), we went over to his grandparents to supposedly help them out with some cleaning and yard work but it turns out that they had a surprise party planned for me. His grandparents, mom, two sisters, and one of his sister's fiance were there. I had such a great time. Loved all their gifts and loved the party!! He did a great job at keeping it a secret which was awesome because that was my first...

So, as I had mentioned, we got ourselves a cute little kitty...who is totally obsessed with the laptop! As you can see below, he's totally lovin' up on the laptop. :-)

"I love you, Mr. Laptop"

"You're warm and comfortable and I love taking naps on you (even if I'm constantly pressing the keys and adjusting the volume while I'm doing so)."

As much as he loves taking his naps on the laptop, he equally enjoys being in awe whenever the screen saver comes on.

"Oooo, bubbles! Me likey!"

Oh, last but definitely not least, I got birthday money from his dad and step mom. They are super awesome! And I cannot wait to spend it! :-)

Perhaps on a Juicy Couture velour Daydreamer handbag- kind of like the one below? ;=)

Well, that's all I have for now folks!! :-)
