Today, I am another step closer to being 30. Crap! How did this happen? I still have a little ways to go (I turn 27 today) but its weird to be in my "late" twenties when it seems like I was just in my early twenties a few weeks ago.

Today is going to be pretty low key for me. Mr. Fruitychick is off at work to attend the annual board meeting. Unfortunately, that also includes dinner, so he wont be home until well after 9, which leaves me pretty much alone with the Munchkin for my birthday but at least I didnt get a decapitated rabbit from the dogs this morning, so thats something.

We are going to go out tomorrow for an early dinner and I'll probably spend a decent amount of time perusing for the most AWESOME BIRTHDAY PRESENTS:

(a) a house. obviously not only for my birthday but we will make an offer on a new house here in the next day or two, so its kind of like a birthday present.

(b) a DRUM CARDER!! woohoo! I'm thinking of the Strauch Petite. So do I need the extra brush? Is there another one I should also consider? I dont know a ton about drum carders so any advice is appreciated!
