Huzzah! Let there be rejoicing! My birthday is finally here. (My 21st, no less) Thus far, my day has been delightful, except for me being here at work, presently. But I woke up to my floor being filled and I mean filled with balloons, piled nose high with my bed. Red and white, too. They were all courtesy of Fernie the amazing hot-air machine. I was impressed. Also, there was a pink and creme rose waiting for me and then...mom made a fantastic display of breakfast, complete with low fat hashbrowns, low fat cinnamon rolls, and egg beaters.  Then, they surprised me with breakfast presents. A big box of hand picked Godiva chocolates, my favorite flavors. A box of yummy soaps monogramed with M and a magnificent Waterman pen (As mom calls it "A 'write' of passage"). How spoiled can one girl be? Plus, Fern gave me $40 to spend shopping, along with a beautiful letter and card....what an extravagant gift! G'ma sent me $20 and I haven't seen the mail from the rest of today, yet. Then we went shopping, as M&D had also given me a $100 shopping budget. I spent $72 on one pair of Jeans...outrageous! We'll see. Perhaps I'll take them back and shop more. Perhaps I'll keep them. We'll see. But I also got a skirt, a jacket, a pair of shorts, 3 shirts, undies, victoria's secret laundry detergent. Luxe, ehhh?! The girls at work lavished on me flowers and rice krispie treats, which I can have because they're low fat. And low fat is good, especially since I made it to my birthday goal. Now only a little bit more to go.
So, Birthday salutations to me.
