Backup birthday date

Today is Leina's birthday. Yes, another year has gone by, but this one was only partly blogged. So what did Leina do on her 31st? Something crazy? Was there an almost-surprise party for her that Auntie only partly ruined by coming at the wrong time? Or a half-baked idea to bicycle to LA? No, this year was much calmer.

Charles was busy, and Leina was nothing more than a backup date for Mary, who was going to a Chinese dance concert this evening. Mary was maybe going to go with her maybe ex-boyfriend, but didn't know how things stood in the relationship, and Leina was trying to stay out of it, but she wound up as the backup date in case Mary didn't want to go with her maybe ex-boyfriend, which she didn't, so Leina was available and is at the show right now. She heard it was going to be pretty good.

Other news in Leina's world is that she is getting new roommates! Four of them! Her sister and her brother-in-law and her two nephews are moving in for a year, starting next month. Leina is anticipating lots of babysitting in her future.
