So 10/10 rolled around and overnight I got a year older. Ridiculous how that works, but none-the-less it was written and said to be the big 10/10/10 all around the world (here they do day/month/year). Anyways now begins the unfortunate month when Brayden absolutely relishes in being “2 years younger” than me. He will go out of his way to mention our ages as many times as possible before his birthday next month. Anyways this year was quite special being a once in a lifetime birthday. Since 10/10 was on a Sunday I took the liberty of having a “birth-weekend” instead of a “birthday” which is fair really.
Friday night we stayed in and watched that comedy ‘Date Night’ which was pretty funny. Saturday was a beautiful and sunny day and started with my track club workout in the park. Though really tough, a great way to start the day! Afterwards Brayden and Glenn (our new roommate and Bs long lost twin/best friend separated a birth - probly deserved a post but short story he's from western MA, went to Amherst, really nice and awesome etc) made a big brunch for us, it was grand. Then we did some errands, relaxed, they had practice, I watched my favorite new show ‘The X-Factor’ (yes I gladly admit that) and then the celebrating began! Our good Irish friend Tina came over so it was an intimate group of the 4 of us celebrating. This was perfect for me because I really really hate making a big deal over my birthday. We had a lovely night out on the town in Dublin as. (Don't ask why the guys have their shirts off, it has something to do with this Jersey Shore clip, I've accepted this is what I have to live with).
Sunday, the actual 10.10.10 was another beautiful day! And after another great homemade brunch the 4 of us went to this nice fishing village on a cliffy peninsula called Howth, north of Dublin. It was very lovely. We walked around and got some fish. It was grand. Then later Brayden took me out to dinner and we watched the X-Factor results show. Now that’s what I call a grand birthday!
