Happy Birthday to me

We had a little happy birthday happy hour last night for the clump of Aries birthdays -- had a beer and then went to the mall. Thirty dollars later at Bath & Body Works (I had lots of coupons and a gift card, so I really only spent $10) and $50 at Victoria's Secret (and that was AFTER my $10 sexy birthday gift card), I headed home for a good night's sleep. I think now that the evening temps are well above freezing, it's time to take the flannel sheets off the bed.

I got into work about 7:30 this morning and already had a voice mail. From my mom. Does she know that I'm pissed at her and doesn't want to talk to me? She couldn't have waited until after 8:00 so that she could have actually said "happy birthday" to me and put my dad on the phone? I don't get her.

I also had an email from my brother in Alaska, wishing me a happy "37th brithday." He's given me an extra year another time. I don't know if he really is an idiot and can't remember how old I am, or if he does it to get a rise out of me. I reminded him that 2006 minus 1970 equals 36, not 37! I also had emails from my oldest sister, The American Red Cross, a former co-worker in Baltimore, and a current co-worker. I feel loved.
