29

[c9]

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! Today I'm hungover, which must mean it was a good day. I slept in and then hung out with _kissyfur_ and Shannon as they gathered their belongings for the trek back east. When I finally got to work, everyone thought maybe I'd been on the phone with friends in London, and that's why I was so late. They surprised me with an ice-cream birthday cake (yay!) and a business card holder. When my coworkers couldn't find my business cards (see "Action Cat Peed On My Business Cards," earlier in my journal), they invented new ones with titles like "National Treasure" and "National Asset." Awwww. I do feel more valued here than in Halifax sometimes. :)

My mother called the office and sang Happy Birthday to me, which she does to basically everyone on their birthday. I fear 30 years from now when she gets senile, I'll get singing calls every day...

leapfish took us out to Verses, where we had really yummy food presented in really interesting ways. Not for the faint of wallet. I ordered a dessert that included a root beer float, and the drink came in a two ounce shot glass. That kinda place. Sooo good.

Sadly, too much alcohol left me almost unconscious by the time we got home, and even this morning I'm still a little bleah.

Sorry for the belated wishes, but I was in the air... I did read leapfish's recap, and I am glad you had such a good time and feel so loved (and rightly so). :-)

May your next 29 be happier than the first. :-) Meaning, your next 29 years, not the next time you decide you're 29. :-P

Thanks! I was congratulated on reaching both age 19 and 21 in addition to 29.

Odd - I could have sworn that you were only turning 28. Are you SURE you're 29? All of these years I thought you were only two years older than me. I think I'll have to rethink our friendship.

(Wow - as of September I'll have known you for nine years. That's more than a third of my life! And a little less than a third of yours. :-). )

Is it only three years? You were 16 and I was 20 when you started at UNB, though that only lasted a couple months... wow...

Three years and four months. I'll be - gasp - 26 in November.
