Haaaaapy Birrrrthday Toooo Meeeeeeeeeee!
Feb. 22nd, 2010 08:03 pmYesterday was my 41st birthday. I was awake for an hour before I remembered it was my birthday. I had a thought I wanted to record in my paper journal, and it wasn't until I scribbled the date at the top of the page that it dawned on me what day it was. I gasped in shock. "It's my birthday!!!" I exclaimed to T. My genuine surprise surprised me.
Thank you for the birthday wishes here and on Facebook and via text message and in voice mail. It was a pleasure to check my messages throughout the day and receive a new batch of them.
T and I spent the entire afternoon at Barnes & Noble; she studied her PC technician textbook and I studied a couple of photography books I picked up from the shelves. I also bought myself a CD of relaxing music. It was playing when we walked into the store, and I liked it so much that I immediately went to the music department and bought it. Another gift to myself was a large bottle of Dr. Bronner's lavender soap. I could probably add that 5x7 softbox for my flash that I bought at the end of the week to the list of things I bought myself for my birthday, too. I am pleased with all of my gifts.
Speaking of gifts from people other than me, I have the best friends and chosen family in the entire world!!!!!!
labyrinthnight ordered a wireless flash trigger and receiver for me, to go with the wireless flash receiver
lapetitediva bought me.
red_silk_robe sent me a Kiva.org gift certificate. And
inexperienced sent me the most amazing prints of her work. Between those gifts and all of the joyous messages I received, I feel truly spoiled.
