Ahem

Happy Birthday to me,
Happy Birthday to me.
Happy Birthday, you old woman,
Happy Birthday to me.
(And now is the part of the performance where everybody over the age of twenty-eight steps forward and shoves my head into the cake.)

Eric spent way too much money on me, and I still think that my favorite part of it was that he actually took Sam out with him and left me alone in the house for a few hours of silence. After he came back, he had me put Sam to bed, and then he gave me a great full-body massage with oils he purchased for the occasion. Ah, did that feel good! I'd been having one crapper of a day, so I really needed it.

This morning, he had me open my presents before he left for work. He got me:

  • a box of Godiva truffles,
  • a bottle of perfumed oil
  • a Victoria's Secret nightie, and
  • a gorgeous opal necklace.

Sam got me a Yankee Candle that Eric said he'd picked out by himself. I'm not surprised; that scent had ears of corn all over the front, and corn is currently Sam's Most Very Favorite Thing.

All in all, I feel quite pampered. Now, if somebody would like to take my class for tonight, I'd be the happiest gal alive.

Happy Birthday to you...and to me...and to Carrie Fisher! I won't do a cake-shove since I've decided to start telling people I'm 28, so I might as well start pretending now.

Happy birthday, Carrie. I'll refrain from shoving your face in the cake since I'm too old and feeble to do that anyway. :D

Happy Birthday, Carrie! I'll be nice and save any thoughts I had of shoving your face in a cake. LOL ;)

Way to go, Eric! Woo Hoo! ;)
