Another Year Older
Today is my birthday and all in all, it was a pretty good day. My friends took me out to dinner Saturday night and today my boss, Suzanne, and I skipped work and spent the afternoon at Elizabeth Arden Red Door getting facials, pedicures and manicures. When I got home I had a vase of flowers from Suzanne and a basket of African violets from my best friend waiting by the door as well as some surprise b-day cards (thanks, N!) in the mail. So all in all, it was a pretty good birthday.
My dad called yesterday to say that he and my stepmother were currently driving towards Boulder and they'd miss my birthday so we'd do something when they got back. That works for me. I just thought it was funny that yet again, I had no idea where my parents are. They really need to leave a note.
Today is also my mom's birthday. I was born on her 20th birthday. Yeah, it's kind of cool to be a birthday present but it sucked when I was a kid because it meant I never got to pick the cake. It always had to be what my mom wanted. The reason she always gave me: she was there first. We don't get along very well.
Oh, and as a great little present to myself, I leaned over and smacked my forehead against the sink. Now whenever I lean over, I have a ginormous headache to go with the very attractive lump on my head. At least my skin looks nice though.
