September 11th: Air shipment arrives/my birthday

On September 11th it was my birthday.  My gift was the arrival of our very small air shipment.  We were very excited about getting it.  The Wii came, Yugioh cards, our sheets and blankets, pots and pans.  We also received two boxes that were marked for storage and were missing one of our air boxes.  It was the one that had the power converter to allow us to play the Wii, the internet phone box to let others call us, and some other electrical stuff.  I have never seen B more disappointed than when he came home, saw the Wii and his Skylanders but was told he was unable to play with the new Skylanders he purchased in London.  It was not a good scene.  On top of this we thought we were scheduled to have someone come and put in the satellite service that evening and I agreed to skip our plans to go out to dinner for my birthday and instead cook dinner for the first time in the house.  Unfortunately, we misunderstood (happens a lot), and they were coming out to do something else.  We also realized that while we packed the sheets and blanket for the boys' beds we only packed the sheets for ours.  Thankfully a friend who left India recently left us some items and among the items was a blanket just right for our bed. Thank you Vicki.   So, tomorrow I get to rehang all the curtains.

So, for my birthday, I got to unpack an air shipment that was incomplete and cook a spaghetti dinner for the family.  Can I celebrate or what?
