Birthday Watch 2007

So far, the birthday is off to a great start. I'm wearing my special new birthday dress, although I did have a bit of a snafu in the tights department - I grabbed navy blue instead of black and didn't realize it until I was at the bus stop. After seriously considering going home to change, I decided that I couldn't let the bus pass by - of course it was on time today! I can't say that it looks any worse than if I had worn yellow heels as pictured to the left. Here's what's been happening so far:

• early morning phone call from Dad


• Dunkin Donuts breakfast w/ Justin


• sneak peek at b-day gift that won't arrive in time (replacement for my missing copy of The Scarlet Pimpernel with special red and green binding, rare and hard to find)


• balloons and flowers from boss


• Starbucks gc from big boss


• lots of birthday wishes prompted by above balloons


• e-card from a movie club friend


• email from KD


• balloon and card signed by co-workers


• email from MK


• e-card from KW
• email from Mom
• call from UPS Store - possible birthday gift??
• birthday Cheetos
• email from KL
• vm from MIL and FIL
• singing vm from brother
• delicious dinner at BIN 36 w/ MK and KD featuring scallops, french fries and chocolate ravioli
• chat w/ AS
• email from JI
• email from JK

Overall, it was an excellent birthday and I'm grateful for all of the attention that I received.
