So, today’s my birthday. I’m 29. This is my first crack at 29. I intend to repeat a year, possibly more than once. This year, Gene was the first person to wish me a happy birthday. Then, New Boss and assorted BFAs. Then D. There were others, of course, but those were the\u00a0early ones. D, being a good friend, gave me 2 22 oz. bags of Cadbury Mini Eggs. Today was the first of\u00a0two payroll days so the chocolate came in very super handy!<\/p>\n
Gene picked me up from work and we went to dinner, then to the mall to pick up something (no luck), then HOME. Gene gave me an awesome gift: gift cards to 5 nearby salons. Since Patty retired from nails, I haven’t regularly had them done (the pedicure was merely a safety measure\u00a0– if my toenails were any longer I’d be able to use them to pick stuff off the floor). So,\u00a0he gave me a Tour of Nail Salons (good ones, not questionable ones!). So, I will have awesome nails for all of my coming up stuff!!<\/p>\n
I also spoke to just about my entire family: SIL, BIL, MIL, Mother, Grandfather. Yes, the same grandpa from the whole conversation re: MIL. It went OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
