...happy birthday to meeeeee!
Today I am 27 years old!
How could anyone not love their birthday. It's like all day it's Cristina Day. It doesn't matter that most people don't know about it. It's my own little secret. Unless someone asks me why I have this stupid grin on my face and keep humming happy birthday.
I got the most wonderful present today! My friend Kristin called me from the middle east! She is working with Christian Peacemaker Teams for a few years, living right in the middle of all the quarreling between the Israelis and Palestinians. It's a dangerous place to be, but that is where her heart is. (Kristin, if you read this sometime, I miss you to bits! ) It makes me smile to know that you are my friend. I couldn't have wished for a better way to spend the first part of my day, especially since you got me out of a bad dream (don't feel bad- it was like 10:45 am!)
Dream sequence...
So these people are walking down the sidewalk with a small child holding their hands. Out of nowhere comes this HUGE snake- we're talking 5 feet long and a lot of muscle on it. The snake is trying to get the child, so they are holding her up by her arms- but to no avail. Suddely the snake is in my apartment and I am battling the snake. It's bit my dog already and I have my hand clamped over it's mouth. I called 911 but, like every bad dream, my voice is suddenly gone. She sort of made out what I was saying, and who did she send to help me? My ex boyfriend and my next door neighbor . They killed the snake and acted like it was no big deal- that I shouldn't have been scared, and carried the snake away in a laundry basket.
I'm glad that's over. My dreams are always a bit off the wall.
So I'm off to have my birthday. I'm working from 12-5 with the evening off thankfully. I'm looking forward to seeing what Matthew has planned for tonight. He is great with birthdays. Last birthday he even got me a birthday outfit that he gave me the night before so I could feel all special in my new duds! I love him so much.
