Happy birthday to meeee!!

And birthday #26 is off to a great start! Thanks to all of you who sent me birthday wishes, especially my beloved scarcrest for the Vacchs book and my lovey vodounsi for the beautiful card. I think my coworkers have something special planned, which has me pretty excited!

la_poubelle and I are celebrating at El Myr tonight! Who's joining us? The more the merrier!

Oy vey, I'm so meshuggenah I could plotz!

My coworkers blew my mind.

We always have birthday parties at work, and I knew mine was going to involve an ice-cream cake and possibly some other stuff. But I was blown away. My coworkers gave me a Jeopardy!-themed party, complete with theme music (my boss Will even made me a birthday CD) and balloons! Balloons are shiny and happy! We even played a little game where we played a CD with television theme songs and tried to be the first one to name the show. It was really, really, really, really, really, really sweet. I was grinning till my face hurt and I wanted to say something, but couldn't think of anything good enough to convey how touched I was.

It's really awesome to know that people care about me.
