I received this balloon as gift wrapping for my birthday present from the Boyds on June 27. Today is July 26, which means it has been flying in my dining room for almost a month. I’m no helium expert, but I’ve never had a balloon last anywhere near this long. I find it truly amazing. It shows no signs of ever coming down either. The best part is that it celebrates me, and my birthday will never end until it descends.

There is one thing that worries me. I have nothing better to do than take pictures of a balloon and write about it on the internet. I still have three weeks of summer left, and I’m resigned to this. Someone please help!!! Barney is sick of me being in his face all day, This morning, he decided that sitting outside by himself was a step up from hanging with me.

Don’t get me wrong. I’ve had a great summer. We went to Austin and Florida. We’ve hit several events around town that we would have skipped if I had been working. I spent several days fishing. I’ve had fun, but it’s time to get back to work. I know that when November rolls around I’ll be yearning for some time off, but today I’m bored. But please, don’t feel sorry for me. I can do that all by myself.
