my birthday~
So my birthday started like most other days - I was up early, got ready for work and headed off there. It was an ok day of work. Did a bunch of receiving. Got the FedEx guy that always flirts with me to wish me a happy birthday. Laughed (quietly) at people who pushed the wrong side of the door as they tried to leave. Got hit on by a creepy old guy. (It happens at least once a day. Unavoidable.) We had a fun music selection, too: David Bowie (Hunky Dory), Joni Mitchell (Blue), Nylons (best of), Taflemusik (Baroque... something...), and Putumayo's 'World Party'.
The girls from work got me a cake. So just as the shifts were changing they sang for me, and I cut it and everyone had some. :)
Got home from work, Liz was at my house and Rob (the sister's bf) went out to supper w/ my family and guests to my favourite chinese food place. Unfortunately, it was super slow because for some unknown reason they only had one cook working. And! They were out of my favourite dish. :( But they did give us some General Tao's chicken instead (my second favourite, and without asking us!) So we were there like 3 hours, but that was ok. Our waiter was told it was my birthday and they asked him to guess my age... he said I looked not a day over 17... haha!
Right after that, Liz and I headed out to Oz Cafe to meet some of my 'girls night' girls. So we all hung out there. They other 4 had supper there. I had 2 martinis and banana rum cheesecake. :D One martini and the cheesecake were free! I love Oz for that reason. Also? Awesome martinis. I had a "Pretty in Pink" which was like raspberry flavoured, and a "Flying Monkey" which had tequila in it. I'm not a big fan of drinking, but I love fun drinks when I do.
Got home safe and sound (Liz was driving, no worries.) Had a good night's sleep. (Alcohol conks me right out.) Woke up to play with my new DS.
My fun pressies:
- Nintendo DS Lite (pink) and accessory kit (also pink)
- Super Princess Peach DS
- Gunpey(?) DS (strange puzzle game I don't quite get yet, but my pathfinders like it)
- Hello Kitty pajamas (that's pair 3!)
- cute scrapbook to take on my trip with me
- another care bear to add to the army
- Hello Kitty binoculars
- Hello Kitty stickers
- the Muppet Movie
- a travel-size tool kit (that will fit in my suitcase for going to England, in case I need to fix things...)
- awesome sticky notes that say "put on your big girl panties and deal with it"
Considering all I asked for was the DS and the tool kit, I really made out like a bandit. (Liz always buys me like a bazillion presents. Though, admittedly, the care bear was an Easter present but we just hadn't seen each other since then.)
So, yeah. Maybe it doesn't sound super great to everyone, but I really liked it. And now I'm 24. My mom was pregnant with her second child when she turned 24. I'm working on my second trip to Europe. Just as considerable a feat, right?
