Well, the birthday festivities are officially over. They started last weekend a little family party thrown by my parents. I got some really nice gifts from my sisters and my parents. The two that stand out the most are a beautiful sapphire necklace from my parents and a book called "the condition" from one of my sisters. My other sister bought me some really nice swarovski crystal figurines. They were three small penguins and very, very cute. Steve bought a chocolate cake with twice whipped cream topping. Everyone ate it, even Sister #1 and mom, who almost never eat sweets.
When I went into work on Monday there was a little container of 4 cupcakes, each with a cute star candle. There was also a large container with 12 MORE CUPCAKES, each one decorated as a butterfly. They were the cutest cupcakes ever and I can only imagine how much time and effort went into them. They were almost to pretty to eat. Almost.
On my actual birthday many of my coworkers made me feel very special. A bunch of them brought me out to lunch and then we went to coldstone creamery for some delicious ice cream. Not a very productive afternoon after that. The entire QA department sang Happy Birthday to me. The Boyfriend wanted to take me out to a nice restaurant for dinner that night but I was too full to enjoy a nice meal so i decided to just go to a nice pizza place and get a slice of chicken parmesan pizza. It wasn't fancy or expensive or anything terribly special, but it was exactly what I wanted. I decided to save that for the next night.
So last night we went to a nice steakhouse with 3 of our other friends. I got a filet mignon and enjoyed every bite. We then all went out to a pub and met my sister (Sister #2), her boyfriend, and another friend from work. Sister #1 and her boyfriend were supposed to come as well but canceled at the last minute. Another friend and her boyfriend were also supposed to meet us but never showed up. I really enjoyed myself and hadn't realized how long it had been since I had been out to a bar/pub like that. It hit me as I was getting out my ID preparing to give it to the bouncer. It was an expensive night and I didn't have to pay a cent.
So bring on the thirties. I am ready. I am looking forward to seeing what this decade has to offer.
Cheers!
