Hello all!
I just wanted to drop a quick note and say thank you for all the comments, faceb-book wall-writing and/or emails I got about this post and on my actual birthday. It was a difficult week for me. Not because I hadn't lived up to some imaginary societal standards but because I hadn't reached either the tangible or intangible goals that I had set out for myself.
A special thank you to those of you who understood or who simply understood that I was in pain. And to those of you who thought that "suck it up, Princess" was what I needed to hear...well...thanks for posting something. It was better than talking to a void. At least I didn't feel alone. :)
On my actual birthday, (I didn't say anything! Ken told them!), my boss and 2 other guy-coworkers made a huge deal out of me - cancelling big meetings despite my protests to take me for lunch and that sort of thing. We went to the Salt Lick and had these yummy, giant steaks for lunch! You know, I don't think I've ever felt so loved at work. Appreciated, yes. But loved? This was the first time. I adore being the only girl; they spoil me rotten.
Anyway, my Mother took me for dinner and I heard from a lot of you, so thank you. Thank you very much.
It was a nice day. And I'm glad it's over, and that my would-have-been 11 years anniversary is also over. I am also pleased that there has been very positive news on most of my livejournal flist. Keep it up guys! Let's stay on this upswing for a bit, I think we could all use a break from the drama and stress that we've all been handling lately. It's time to start making plans again.
Even little plans...like weekends and that sort of thing! Drop me a note and tell me where we're going together and when!
