*Sigh* what a wonderful birthday! (As I type, late into the night, at the office, working on the homework that I've neglected over the holidays, paying for the indulgent times I've had in the past few days.)
I'm very lucky to have so many people that care about me and I feel deeply grateful for my friends and family. Not only do they put up with "my birthday is the most important day of the year. To everybody! In the universe!" attitude mostly with grace and wry (and occasionally slightly mean, but I can't fault them on it, really, 'cause GOD I can be obnoxious) humor, but they are generous to boot! And yet, despite this year's gift pile being pretty much the greatest haul of all time, the most exciting element of the day was that I got to celebrate it on the actual day of occurrence. Outside the home. In no turkey context (or lingering aroma) whatsoever. *Swoon* My birthday has a sad tendency to be lost in the Thanksgiving brouhaha, so getting to celebrate with more than just family (not that there's anything wrong with that, but sometimes, you want non-family fussing over you!) is a rare treat. The last day-of celebration, as far as we could recall, went all the way back to my 17th birthday! In other words, far too long ago...
It was a lovely day, filled with (wonderful, fabulous) friends, fun, and food, little driving, and no drama. Perfection. Can't wait to see if the rest of 28 will follow suit!
