So here it is: my birthday.
I started out not really excited, even forgetting that the next day was my birthday. I was more worried about getting the house ready for Saturday... at least to the point where I wouldn't be embarassed to have people over.
I'm still worried, because the place is still a construction zone.
And then, this morning, I woke up a zillion times thinking about what I'd wear and do to make today special. Finally, I got up to answer the call of nature, even though I was dead tired. Seriously, I feel a bit sick. But I feel like a child with butterflies in my stomach. THIS is how you're supposed to feel on your birthday.
So I wake up and come downstairs to see that Alex has set up my birthday present: a new monitor. There was anything wrong with my old monitor, but this one is a flat screen, so I'm sure it's much better. It certainly takes up less space on the desk. I know nothing about monitors, to be honest. But Alex does.
So, as my birthday dawns, grey and rainy, I type my birthday message, viewing it on my birthday present.
I intend to treat myself today.
I will wear a pretty skirt. I will go to Starbucks for breakfast. There will be some sort of surprise for me at work - I know that Allen will take care of that. I will get myself a manicure and pedicure after work. And I will eat out for free at Casey's tonight (they do a free bday dinner).
And then I will come home and continue to work on my house.
BOO!
I thought of another thing that I could really use for my birthday or house warming: MAID SERVICE!
