You like me...you really, really like me!
It's official. I grow older (technically at 4:54pm) today!
My co-workers surprised me by decorating my cubicle with balloons and confetti that announced the day being a birthday. They also procured an ice cream cake (which I think may rank up there with number one choices! Ice cream and cake in one package! BRILLIANT!) And, I have had numerous well wishers call and sing Happy Birthday to me, making me very grateful for the invention of the speaker phone too! heh heh
Tonight, my stand in 'boy-friend' is taking me to dinner at a new restaurant he has been raving about. Last night he convinced me by making the statement: "I refinanced my house and paid off my bills, I have $400 dollars left and would like nothing more than to take you to dinner!" At that moment my cell phone dropped it's signal a bit and we got disconnected. He called back and said if I didn't want to go, all I had to do was say no! Ha ha. Needless to say, I explained the reasoning behind the hang up and reworked the dinner invitation without too much groveling. Friday I will celebrate with the rest of my lovely friends and Sunday my family gets their turn.
Not too bad for a girl who was lamenting over this date a few days prior. I feel better.
My friends are fantastic. Thank you to all the well wishers! You are greatly appreciated.

Happy Birthday!
I have to say I'm a little freaked out! I was just clicking on the "next blog" button, bored at work, and ran across yours. What made me stop in my tracks was the fact I, too, was born at 4:54 p.m.
Just wanted to drop a line and say "Hi".
I, point of fact, luff you. That is "luff" with two "fs." ;) Smooches to you lady! (And we are doing belated b-day celebrating when I get back home!)
