Wow, I am truly blessed to have the friends I do. Thank you all for ensuring that I had a great birthday and was remembered by my friends all over the world. I was up early and worked a half-day, then I did what some what would consider boring, but for me I couldn't think of a better way to spend the day, by going to Barnes & Noble, drinking the coffee I didn't get to on Saturday, and reading Harry Potter for hours. It was absolutely lovely. Last night I went to dinner with my family (and my sister, who was supposed to be out of town working, was able to come home early so she got to be there too, which was nice) and one of my best friends. After that, we came home, had cookie cake, and I went to bed. Work has been really hellish lately, so honestly, I wasn't at all looking forward to my birthday, but I had a surprisingly pleasant day, for which I am very grateful.

mysticxf - Thanks for the sweet note. Another birthday that I'm happy to be close to, and we share that with Harry too. :D Also a strong Kate fan (and there are so few of us) - I'm slowly getting excited about approaching the new season. It wouldn't be nearly so worth it without you.
