as i won’t be at work next week, my co-workers took me out for lunch and bought me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers today. it was amazing and i very nearly cried when i got to the restaurant and saw them all there. i really wanted some beautiful flowers for my birthday and now i have them. how lucky am i?
\nlater in the afternoon, i went up to dennis’ office and we had a long overdue conversation. his birthday is the same day as mine, so i wanted to give him a birthday cookie since neither of us will be at work on wednesday. he’s a fascinating man. i even told him so today. on the drive home in the rain, i was thinking about how comfortable i am with him and how, when we talk, i’m suddenly this intelligent, insightful, interesting person. the best part of that transformation is i’m not even trying. we play off each other well, but not in a banter\/shtick way like karen and i. maybe it’s the shared birthday, but whatever it is, i like it.
\nit was a really great day, despite the rain and my feeling beyond ugly. there’s a whole lot of people out there who like and appreciate me. what better birthday present could a girl ask for?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
