The best birthday ever!!! (except the one where I was born)

Yesterday was the best!! I have never felt so loved!!!!

My day started with betterhalf wishing me a happy birthday. I then went into work at the hospital, where they gave me a cool crown to wear and made me feel really loved and special. They had a small party and some of the coolest clinicians I could ever hope to work with were there with me! Simply divine!

Then I headed to get a much needed massage and was informed that it had already been paid for! So I got an awesome massage, where my shoulders got worked on -- they were stiff from using free weights at Jazzercise. And I called KayKay and thanked her!!

I came home to find a gorgeous bouquet of roses waiting for me from DD and K!!! I'll have to take a picture and post it because they are absoulutely beautiful!! Then I got to talk to DD and catch up and that was super!!

Before that happened, though, I got some great news from my brother about his future. And I'm just so proud of him!! Way to go, Josephine!

Then I got all dressed up and headed to The Melting Pot for my Night of Amazing Women. It was just the coolest, most laid back, wonderful gathering of women that I've ever been around. Lu brought me an awesome tiara which matched perfectly with my boa. In the midst of the gathering, the bartender showed up with an Appletini, sent from D!!! in Seattle!! It made me cry!! AlphaL and I split the Pacific Rim which was good eats!! KayKay shared goofy stories! Stephanie and Tracy helped break the bonds of codependency! LaTongia grumbled about wanting chocolate for the first course. Debbie entertained us with her candor. Betz lost her veggies in the fondue. It was just one fo the coolest, bestest nights I've had in a long, long time. Thank you for all of the women who showed up. I think we may call ourselves the Vaginas and a tentative get together is planned for February 23!

It was an absolute blessing of a birthday!! Pics to come soon!
