23

as rhett butler says, "when you are trying to get something out of a man, don't blurt it out. try to be more subtle, more seductive. it gets better results." apparently i wasn't very subtle or seductive because mike didn't get anything on my wish list!

i didn't have a great birthday last year and it was mostly all my own fault, so i vowed to have a better attitude this year. and it was a great day. i wish i could record the many renditions of happy birthday that i was serenaded with. it began with mike singing "we're gonna party like it's your birthday" and continued with my boss, several guys at work, kennedy and paige, and my grandparents singing their own versions of happy birthday. nothing is better than hearing people sing to you, especially when they really can't sing at all.

the day was filled with my favorite things: spending time with mike, eating at cafe sabor, fresh flowers, and opening pretty packages. i am a happy girl.
