Birthday

Today I turned 38, which sounded older when I wasn't talking about me. Oh, well, I'm not getting older, I'm getting better, right?

My co-worker Melissa planned a birthday lunch for me and a few friends. We met at Kwan Court on the east side of town.

I got a pretty earring and necklace set from

Jeff, Kathryn and Lauryn


My friends Janette and Chris got me
a box of green apple-flavored candy.
Yum!


Melissa got me a gift certificate from
Jimmy John's sandwich shop, one
of my favorite places to eat

Later in the day, our office had a small party. Each person has a "birthday buddy" who is responsible for buying a birthday card for everyone to sign and they also bring birthday treats. This year, my buddy is Dan, our Marketing manager. He got me a great hazelnut chocolate cake from Bagatelle Bakery.

What a great day!
