christmas recap plus another candle and I'm a guy

I'm another year older today. The big 3-5. Doesn't feel any different than yesterday when I was a young 34. For Christmas, Greg and I lounged around the house and watched a few episodes of season 3 of the The Office. They make me happy and smile. In the late afternoon we went to the cinema with our friends Tom and Brett. We saw the new National Treasure flick. It was entertaining. After the movie we went on a search for someplace to have dinner. The only place open in the area was the Royal Buffet Chinese Restaurant. They had their all-you-can-eat Christmas Buffet for $9.95. There were actually quite a few people there for dinner. Being the huge chinese food fan that I am, I dined on salad, french fries and pizza. Our bills came on purple post-it notes. Also my fortune cookie fortune read: Keep an eye open for an opportunity in the field of sports. Well that sounds like me.

This morning I ran to the Hallmark store around the corner from our house. I picked up a birthday card for my sister and stood in the long line with all of the ladies and their day-after-Christmas sale items. The older woman in front of me turned around to show me the miniature train ornaments that she found. I looked at them and said, "Nice." To which she replied, "Well you are a guy." Brilliant observation ma'am.
