Faithful Followers

Today is my birthday.  It was great.  I am so tired from all the festivities and excitement.  I definitely am going to go to sleep now.  However, seeing as how I am epically failing at flossing three times per week, I could not bear to fail at yet another resolution....blogging every Tuesday.  While this may be a meager, and useless, blog, I have still held true to my Tuesday night promise.  Don't worry, I have big plans for a post-birthday run-down.  I owe ya one.

Night Night

Today's list:  People to Thank for my marvelous birthday...not in any particular order, after mom and dad.  My mom and dad rule.

1.  Mom and Dad for always remembering my birthday and sending me a very generous gift
2.  Sarah and Erin for coordinating a dinner of friends, working up a facebook invite, gifts galore, personalized balloons, and amazing friendship (duh)  You guys spoil me!
3.  Angie and Kevin (and Logan, too)  for taking time out of their busy schedules, and time from each other, to come to my birthday party!  And, for the amazing iTunes gift card, which I cannot wait to put to use!  You guys are amazing!
4.  Chrissy and Cory for driving me, making me alcoholic beverages, and swapping stories with me.  You guys rock.
5.  Abe, for showing up.  It means a lot to me to have his presence!  He will never know, nor probably understand that!
6.  Brandyn, for coming with Sarah and laughing a whole lot.  I love those that laugh, laugh much and often!
7.  My new friends, Beth and Eileen...it's long overdue we hang out, and I'm so thrilled you made it to my party, even though I never knew Beth did not like "ethnic" food, except Italian.  Makes it somewhat awkward to have a birthday party at a Japanese restaurant, then, eh?  Thanks for not letting that stand in your way!
8.  For all of my facebook friends that wished me a happy birthday...and there were tons of them!  I really felt special!
9.  My friends who called, or texted, me today, to make sure I got an extra personal message on my b-day.  Love you guys!
10.  My sister for texting me first thing this morning, and my nephews for calling and singing me happy birthday on my voicemail, when I couldn't pick up because I was at dinner.  It was the greatest message to get!
11.  For Vince, who actually didn't forget my birthday, but really had me going there for awhile, unfortunately my package didn't get here when it was supposed to!
12.  For my coworkers and students, who made it a point to remember my birthday and got me special treats!  Love a good surprise!
13.  For my Eugene hair lady, that curled my hair in big curls on late notice.  Thanks for making me beautiful!
14.  Old Navy, for having trouser pants that fit me ;o)  Happy. Birthday. To. Me.
15.  Maria, for trying to get to see me on my birthday, and for the lovely present to Borders.  She knows my love (books) well!

Making a list for that was a dangerous thing?  What if I forgot someone?  Ay yay yay...I hope I didn't forget anyone!  It's been a big day.  Time for bed...
