Birthday

Today is my birthday and I have been overwhelmed with the good wishes and kindness shown to me. I plan on answering everyone individually, but until then, THANK YOU! You have made me feel very loved and remembered.

A new guy I work with offered to take me technology shopping last week because he knows a lot more about these things than I do. I don't know him well, so I was really touched at his generosity. I am now the new owner of a flat screen lcd tv (the first tv I've ever purchased) and a Blu-Ray wifi dvd player, purchased at his advice, and through which I can stream Netflix and Pandora over my television. The technology available to me in America still blows me away. And as a birthday gift he bought me the HDMI cord I needed to hook my new dvd player to the TV. I was surprised, because as I said, we barely know each other, but he is a generous and thoughtful person. Good people are everywhere.

The first movie I watched?


This is not a good movie. But, um, I enjoy his chest hair. And head hair. And head. And chest. (And it was just released on Netflix, so at the top of the queue; I swear I didn't go looking for it!) And yes, I still believe I have a shot with him.

(This picture reminds me of the time T. was lounging in just shorts and I said, "Can I tell you something weird? You have perfect chest hair." I still think it's a weird thing to say, but true. And when you think something nice about someone, I think you should tell them.)

It was a great birthday weekend; I appreciate those who made it so wonderful for me.

I would not have a clue about buying tv's and such either...good to have someone who KNOWS.
What a nice co-worker; but then again, you attract nice people!

Well, good things happen to good people my dear ;-)

So glad you had a lovely bday weekend, and hopefully you have a new friend (or tech-geek buddy)! Some guys offer roses, others cables... teehee!

When I was in 10th grade, I told a guy, in a let's-be-all-open-and-honest group, that I really liked his body. WTF was I thinking. I was a freak forever. High school sucked shrimp legs. But I'd still totally do him if things were a little different.

Happy belated! I hope you are celebrating all WEEK, and that the totally edible Jake Gyllenhall (sp?) is feeding you chocolates as you read this. :)

He's pretty darn near perfect, at least physically... :)
