Things I was given for my birthday
- a really nice surprise lunch by my colleagues and friends at work
- key lime pie and bayou goo pie from The House of Pies
- a pretty crystal vase in the shape of a floppy hat (with a flower on it)
- some great aromatherapy stuff that’s supposed to relax me, give me better skin, help with pedicures, and keep me moisturized (different bottles, from different peple)
- some toys for my computer — including a great synching USB flash drive I’m trying to cutomize and use to keep my life on
- a digital camera — this was the only item on my “i want this” list
- a lemon cake with cream cheese frosting
- a barbecue of hamburgers and hotdogs, as well as fajitas and short ribs, with my family
- lots of other lunches and dinners and coffees over a five-day period
- some rest
All in all, it was a very good birthday. Happy 35th birthday to me!
