After weeks of silently dreading my forthcoming birthday, I actually had a really great day. My friends at work greeted me with birthday wishes, and we had Cheesecake Factory dessert in the afternoon. They even sang birthday wishes while I bopped along. Geoff sent me 3 dozen (!) roses to work--so many in fact that I had enough to have a bundle at work and a bouquet at home to enjoy. He took me to dinner at the place where we had our first-or-second date (depending which one of us you ask) and got me the most magnanimous pink corduroy laptop bag EVER. It's stunning, so BACK OFF ladies and uh guys ... it's mine. ;-) I talked to friends/family, got MySpace attention and eCards... I'm so thankful that God has blessed me with such great people that surround me from So Cal to Central Florida. I will look back on this birthday with fond memories... it's my last one afterall. :)
