Not Even Close To Alone

I am truly blessed to have such wonderful people in my life. Thank you all for your birthday wishes. I went into work and was greeted by flowers and two sparkly picture frames from my co-workers. Later on I was summoned down to the front to pickup the gorgeous flowers that Jeff sent me. I have received numerous emails, e-cards and phone calls all wishing me well. Tom called tonight to wish me a happy birthday and let me know that Keegan got me a present that I will receive on Thursday. Both Erika and Jessie sent me special private messages that said all of the things you hope you mean to your friends. I treated myself to Chinese and there is enough leftover to have it for dinner tomorrow too.
This birthday is going so well I will be celebrating all week. Jeff is coming on Thursday and I am going out with Erika and our moms on Friday night.
What great way to start off a new year.
