Someone sent me flowers today! I (in a very un-ladylike way) ran to the front desk when the delivery guy (oh hey, he was so good looking) announced that these were flowers for me! for my birthday! And my IPS ladies started giving me high fives and patting me on the back… Thanks, secret admirer. P.S. Yes, I have a lot of funny things on my desk. I am an adult.

Hey beautiful ;) What do you want for your birthday?
Me:

Hey Shadow-Person! 

I really would like some motivation to workout/apply for Grad schools/get a job I love. Plus, I always like hugs and cards and letters from people I love.

Is that really you in your display photo?
Me:

Oh, no. I just picked the first photo that came up when I googled ‘cactus’.
I may or may not have an addiction to Diet Coke…
Made this little card for a lady at work who is retiring (we are having a lunch party for her tomorrow). Also, hey! my Minnie Mouse ears made a cameo appearance.

Ran downstairs singing ‘Fresh Pots! Fresh Pots!’ only to find that my brother went to bed. Before 3am. On a SATURDAY. What is this?


I contemplated banging around in the laundry room to ‘accidentally’ wake him and convince him to watch a movie with me. He once woke me up in the middle of the night and made me watch all of the LOTR movies (extended versions!) AND Troy AND Gladiator…I lasted until the middle of Troy before falling asleep.



But, then I remembered that he woke up early-ish today and took my car for it’s inspection/oil change (because, clearly, he is the best and greatest brother in the history of brothers everywhere). 


Sad now. Who wants to come over and watch The Prestige with me?
