Boy: What day is it?

Girl: Thursday

Boy: What’s the date?

Girl: June 18th

Boy: What’s that mean?

Girl: (giggles) It’s my birthday.

Boy: Happy Birthday (in a totally cute & endearing way)

So that’s how my day began and it was happiness.  I went to work, as usual, but because of Facebook, everyone knew it was my birthday.  There were many, many well wishes, which was nice.  I felt pretty good all day and was taken out to lunch for Thai Salad – yum!  Everyone in my family called me, even my Uncle Pete, which was another nice surprise.

After a strangely difficult and off-putting errand after work, I met up with Boy at home.  Then, we drove to my sister’s house to hang with her and my niece for a while (because that’s what I wanted to do).  We played some hide & seek and also, checked out the room that used to be two rooms.  My sister had knocked down a wall!  Yeah… hee hee.

Then, to dinner!  Fabulous pasta!  (Boy had been planning on taking me to one of my favorite restaurants for Japanese cuisine, but was super nice about me deciding I wanted Italian food at the last minute).  Then, we strolled around Best Buy and Barnes & Noble, my favorite two stores to stroll.  We bought nothing, of course, then decided we should probably have cake.

We picked up chocolate cake from Safeway on the way home.  Boy then wrote the number 30 in whipped cream on top of the cake (nice!) to signify my new age, lit candles and sang me happy birthday.  We then proceeded to not cut the cake, just eat it.  It was delicious.  Then, we watched one of my favorite shows before he gave me my final present (he’s been giving me gifts all week, which was awesome!).  It was a very nice watch to match a necklace he bought me two years ago.

It was such a nice, calm birthday.  There was none of the craziness that normally makes me hate the day.  It was merely lovely.
