Another AMAZING Birthday

Well, just when I thought that last year's birthday was one of the best ever, this one really kicks my butt!

So, I come into work today.  When there is a birthday in the office, someone always springs for bagels or some other such birthday surprise for the group.  This morning was no different, there were bagels for all!  Yippee.  Cards were delivered, bagels were eaten.  All was well.  Had it ended there, I would have been content.  Things were about to get a whole lot better.

A wonderful colleague of mine would like to take me out to lunch.  My boss is amenable, so out I go for a wonderful lunch.  It was quite tasty.  I had a turkey club sandwich, fried calamari, and, to top it off, a bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream.

Upon my return, I get a frantic call to meet a friend in another department.  When I get there, I find that she has baked me a cake for my birthday, which I promptly bring back to my desk and share with my co-workers.  Now, if you think that's as good as it gets, wait until you hear what happened next!

I finally get back to my desk, only to hear that another colleague in another department needs my help.  I ask permission, which is quickly granted, and go join the work in progress.  At first, it's business as usual.  All of a sudden, I am dragged over to a nearby desk to find a BEN & JERRY'S Ice Cream cake waiting for me!!!  It was incredible.  Chocolate ice cream with cookie dough ice cream on top, chocolate crunchies at the bottom and vanilla icing!!!  It was too cool for words and one of the best presents I've ever gotten.

Finally, with all this food swimming in my belly, I still have to go home and go out to dinner with the family!!!!  What more could anyone ask then a good birthday with family and friends?
