Birthday Wrap Up
Best Birthday Ever.
Started off with waking early to go to work to get payroll submitted in time. No, that's not the best part.
Was supposed to go to lunch with my boss but when I came back from the ladies' room, almost all of my coworkers were scattered in the conference room next to my office where they promptly greeted me with white cake (WHITE CAKE!!!!!!!) and the happy birthday song and a card that they must have been passing around for a week to get everyone to sign.
Then, my FC (Favourite Coworker) came up to me later and handed me a small gift-wrapped box. Inside was an mp3 player. She didn't want me to be without tunes on the trip. Best Coworker Ever.
Yesterday, I went out to lunch with H (Cobra Girl) and she gave me the sexiest knee-high boots ever. Now I just need something to wear with them.
Tonight my mum and sister made apple dumplings. My mum makes the best apple dumplings ever.
Then I got fic and artses.
yodels wrote me Second Verse, Different from the First. It's a continuation of last year's birthday fic and well worth it. Deamus and just brilliant. It seriously brilliant, I love how yodels can do so much with so little... like, she can write 500 words and tell an entire story. I write 500 words and I described a pair of shoes. She's got so much talent there, just go read. The structure and the story and, of course, the pairing, are all made of win. Shower her with love :D.
chaeldub wrote Five Rings and then drew some Deamus art. And I'm sure you all saw my incoherent rec so yes, it's brilliant.
Thanks to all for the good wishes!!! wendy, hd_obsession, secretsolitaire, coffeejunkii and the rest (I'm sure I've missed some people and feel free to slap me for it). I truly appreciate them!!! You guys are the best!
Tomorrow, I start my journey East. Of course, it's warm all last weekend. I get there and it's frikken freezing. Just my luck. Now that I have tunes for the trip, though, I'm sure to get some of the rest of the writing done.
Speaking of luck, I'm hoping for the best of luck for everyone affected by the SoCal fires. I hope everyone makes it out safe or remains unaffected other than air quality (cause some of you are already being hit by that). Hopefully they get everything under control before it goes any further.
Love you all :D
