Happy Birthday to me!

Well it's my birthday, so I have to write something. So far it's been a good day. Got the really cute call at 12:01 am from the almost boyfriend. Wanted to be the first and he was, did a great impression of a man doing an impression of Marilyn Monroe singing happy birthday. Told me that I have so many things that I can be proud I've accomplished and made me feel really good.

Parents have been super nice to me, everyone has been real sweet. Getting a TON of text messages from friends all wishing me happiness and love and all the rest.

Co-workers took me out to lunch and then surprised with a whole homemade cake and rice krispy treats. Even had a candle in it.

I'm having dinner with my family, but I suspect this isn't the last surprise of the day. Almost boyfriend said very cryptically today that he felt like he might see me today... which typically isn't possible unless something is up! We'll see if I'm right....

At this point I've already had way too much sugar and will probably eat excessively, well your birthday is always the best time gain back some weight, right? AND Thanksgiving is this weekend - yikes! More food? I don't know if I can take it!
