Happy Birthday to my Husband

Its my J’s birthday today, he turns 28.  We are not really doing anything too exciting today because I have two finals tomorrow, and also because we are doing a birthday lunch for J during our trip.  Our celebration today is J drinking his super fancy scotch and eating his favorite meal of Brats and Baked Beans. What can I say, the boy is just too low key sometimes.

I went to the store today to buy him some cupcakes and decided on the spur of the moment to buy him a card as well. So, for the first time in my life, I shopped in the For Him: husband section. Most of the cards were really cheesy and it was hard to find one I liked but I really wanted one that said Husband in it, just to memorialize this year.

Lets hope J likes it and doesnt’ think its too cheesy.

Favorite Photos from 2005 India Trip- Kodakgallery Set

Its the last day of classes and only 10 more days until I’m on a plane to India. To kill time in one of classes today (we were doing group presentations and my presentation is over) I was browsing through my kodakgallery album and came across my old India album. These photos have terrible resolution because Kodak gallery kills the online resolution, although I do love their prints. So, apologies for the quality.

Its a Creative Zen V plus Mp3 player. Its 4 gigs and has a screen so that I can put some photos on there as well. So far J and I have been sharing a Ipod shuffle and since our India trip was coming up, I decided I wanted my very own player. I considered an Ipod but I have had two very bad experiences with Apple in the past two months and I really do not want to give them more of my dollars.

I also considered the Zune but it seemed a little too much of a mp3 player for me. Anyway, after much research, this is the one I ordered. Its supposed to be here on the 11th . Can’t wait.
