Happy Birthday To Me!

Yesterday was my birthday. I had a really good day. Had the usual family dinner with cards and gifts afterwards (I won $5 in scratch-off lottery tix! Go me!) A couple of friends of my brothers who I had not seen for a long time came over to surprise me with cake and a gift because he could not be there. They were very sweet to do this and I thank them from the very nether regions of my heart! <3

I went to lunch with my boss and a vendor, yesterday. My boss is starting to realize now that our 10 years together (this month) is at an end and she's still a bit sad that she couldn't keep me around for longer. I'll still make myself available to her if she has questions or anything but I'm sure things won't be the same. She did tell me that one of my interviewers finally called her for an employment verification on me. I'm really excited about that and have my fingers crossed so hard I'm not sure if I'll ever get them untangled again.

A coworker of mine has been bugging us for two years, almost, to get her a Barbie doll cake for her birthday. Well, she got married, in secret, on Friday and we all decided that we'd make her a wedding cake. I made this for her on Monday evening after work. She was very excited about it yesterday and couldn't believe I'd done this for her on what was, essentially, my birthday. The bad thing is, she wouldn't let us eat it because she wanted to take it home and show her husband. I think she also wanted to freeze it and save it for her first anniversary.

Anyway, I have today and tomorrow left at work and then we start moving to Jacksonville. We're going to go down this weekend on Thursday and stay until Tuesday or Wednesday and then come back to Clayton and start some more hardcore packing. There's an Avon meeting I want to go to on Monday so that I can hopefully meet some people in that area.

Speaking of Avon, I have my own online Avon store now. Check it out if you are interested. They have some nifty stuff (not just makeup) like clothes and skin care stuff.
