post-birthday

Yesterday was my birthday, another year older/wiser/wrinklier, etc.  I woke up in a horrible mood, which is weird because as much as I complain I don’t mind getting older…I feel good, I know my health is great due to the many, many pokes and prods I am required to get ALL THE TIME from the military, and in general life is pretty okay.

But still, I was in a major funk all morning.  It was raining outside, there was nothing on the radio I wanted to listen to, my coffee was not very good (no mocha, no madness), my monthly visitor stopped by unexpectedly, I had a final exam in Religious Studies - the universe was conspiring against me!

So what do I find when I walk into my office after two hours spent in the worst traffic ever?  MILES of streamers & confetti; a pink and blue explosion of birthday goodness all over the place.  And suddenly my whole day got a whole lot better!

Champagne! Triple Chocolate Brownie Cake! “Accidentally” switching the 3 and the 2 candles! Acing that one last final! More champagne!  The Office & Lost!
