My birthday

It's my birthday, but this isn't an "all about me, everybody say happy b-day" thread (not that there's anything wrong with those threads), I just wanted to tell everybody how great my girls are.

So I go to work early so I can leave early and pick Nola up from school in the afternoon. Because of this, the girls are never up when I leave. But this morning, when I came out of the shower and into the bedroom at something before 6am, Nola and Amy jump up from under the covers and yell "happy birthday." So that's awesome, just to see them up and smiling before I go to work. But then there are also these two big packages. So at a few minutes before 6,  Nola's helping me unwrap birthday presents. How cool is that? And what do I get? A new wind trainer and wheel block!

So that's cool by itself, but even cooler that I was totally not expecting it. About a month ago, I noticed that the mag unit of my old trainer had broken, and mentioned it to Amy in passing that I'd probably be looking for a new (old) one on e-bay. Never mentioned it again, and here she and Nola have gotten me a brand spanking-new Cycleops trainer (with Spinervals DVD!).

I'm a lucky boy.
