Birthday's all around

Last night was Rick's dad's (or my father in-law), birthday dinner. As I had the day off we went in there before lunch and went to a movie with the whole gang. Then we had yum cha for lunch (always yummy!) After that we went back to his mum and dad's place in the city to relax until dinner, and watched Kingdom of Heaven - great movie. Dinner was Indian (very yummy) so we went to the Docklands for tea and Rick's mum and dad's two friends joined us, they are really lovely people, the husband drove me to my wedding in his beautiful car! After stuffing myself silly we called it a night and went home. It seems to me that there are a lot of birthdays happening lately. About 5 in the last few months. It got me thinking, this would have been a really cool birthday for Ricks dad. Everyone there including his mum who normally is a few states away. And then I thought about my birthday, and well how it was really a none event, then I made a mental note to make sure it was bigger and better next year, and how I would have to beat my pretty lame gathering of three birthday cards. I think a good way to judge the successfulness of a birthday is to look at the quantity of cards. The more the merrier! Well maybe this philosiphy is flawed, but if it is, then why do people keep their cards and display them for everyone visiting to see? Hey? If they are no measure at all, then u wouldnt keep them. Who knows. Anyway time to look at pedegodgies again and find a historical artifact for history tomorrow. Im I an artifact??
