Today is my boyfriend's birthday

So today is my boyfriend's birthday. We spent the whole day cleaning our room, however. It's just about finished - just need to put away a pile of things that we've found throughout the random boxes in our room. They're on the bed right now cuz that forces us to put them away, otherwise we can't go to sleep. In the meantime, we're having lasagne for dinner (it's one of my boyfriend's favorites), and then chocolate birthday cake. :)

My daughter has been excited about the impending birthday cake since Wednesday. I didn't even realize she was old enough to realize that anything was happening, but kids pay attention to conversations future plans more than you'd think. We've been talking occasionally about what my boyfriend wanted for his birthday for weeks; it's only natural she'd know that some kind of event was coming up.

So anyway, the bedroom is closer to being clean than it's ever been, the whole time we've lived here. We moved in last may, but boxes in our room still weren't unpacked yet. It's crazy.

Over the next week I still need to do some organization & throwing away of stuff (especially when it comes to paper - for some unexplicable reason, I keep the flyers I get in the mail "just in case". I'm such a pack rat).

So. Happy birthday to the boyfriend, and here's to the end of my days as a pack rat!
