actual birthday

so at work (yes, i worked on my birthday)

Lauren bought me a fancy gingerbread latte and breakfast

then brought me lunch (eggplant lasagna)

and cailly and lauren (and apparently a lot of people)

were conspiring about what kind of cake to get me...

and (lauren has pics) they decided on a cake

with a large remote control on it, with a extra large PAUSE button...

(what, do they think i talk to much???)

it was super cute :)

and everyone got a good laugh!

people were so sweet to me, and it was a really good day.

i got tons of texts, emails, and facebook messages.

i felt very very loved!!!!

so, after work, some of us went to happy hour at Illegal Petes!
