They Say It's Your Birthday...

Today's my 45th birthday. Part of me is thinking there's no way I can be 45 and part of me thinks so what if I am, I'm still sexy ;)

It's been a wonderful day so far. I awoke and spent a lovely 30 minutes or so talking on the phone with a very special friend and received some wonderful news that made my world so much brighter. Afterwards, Bill made my breakfast (ok, well he nuked a breakfast sandwich but that's cooking as far as Bill is concerned). I'll be having a late lunch and spending the afternoon with Bill and my parents. Pretty bland sounding I know but really special to me since Bill and my Dad feel up to doing this.

I miss being with Rook today - I can't go there to visit right now for obvious reasons and he's working so many hours a week that he couldn't come here. Still, we're really good at making the most of our nightly time together on the phone. We've grown so much as a couple because of the hours we spend talking - something I'm not sure we would have done if we were together all the time. I've also found that I can be incredibly creative sexually even long distance and I have a long list of things to do when we're next together (which hopefully will be in the very near future).

Some of my gifts have yet to arrive, but thus far I've received some dvds and books including an illustrated anthology of Byron's passionate romantic poetry (nice choice honey - I love it). Among those gifts yet to arrive is The Lovers Essentials by Kama Sutra, a collection of massage oils and bath salts. True these gifts are not kinky, but they reflect a knowledge of the things I love - soft, romantic, pretty things. Often I think people buy gifts with themselves in mind. If he were into strap-on play and he'd given me a nice new strap-on device, it wouldn't really generate the same feeling, would it? These gifts were for me, not for him. (Smiles - of course there are a few really kinky things out there that I still want and that would have been great because they're also things I desire).

Hmm - more to write, but it's time to prepare for my afternoon out. More later ;)
