Happy birthday to me!
Mentally, I still feel the way I always have. Physically, I feel like an old man.
The birthday celebration this weekend was cool. My sister-in-law made some kick-ass lasagna; Laurie made my 'Nana Pudding. I drank my first Diet Coke and Jack Daniels (not too shabby...put enough Jack in and it kills the aftertaste of the Diet Coke) and I enjoyed way too much of all three.
I got a TON of shirts (which were sorely needed) and I also got a prepaid cellphone. I would have never thought about asking for one, but it turned out to be a great gift. One of the casualities of the "Great Layoff of 2003" was my cellphone and I really haven't missed it too much, but it's nice to have one when you need it. I've been leeching off of the in-laws whenever we've needed one when going somewhere, so now I won't have to do that.
My diet was on hiatus for several parts of the weekend, but I did go out and ride about 4 miles on the bike. I bought a padded seat cover and that seemed to fix the painful ass problem that has plagued my other rides.
New pain came into existence, however, when the chain fell off the bike when I was hopping up a curb into the grass. Without the resistance from the chain, my foot ROCKETED down to the ground at the speed of sound, making my shin smack into the pedal; my thumb got cut open on the brake handle, I aggravated the shoulder pain when my arm slipped off the handle, AND to add insult to injury (literally), my balls introduced themselves to the frame of the bike when I fell off the seat.
You can guess which injury was the most painful, but at least that pain wore off relatively quickly.

Happy Birthday! Yeah, I knwo what informercials you're talking about...Those were so GAY. Chuck Norris isn't even a good enough actor to star in an infomercial for a product he came up with.
