Okay, so today is my birthday. My husband went shopping yesterday for my b-day and for Christmas gifts for me. We talked about maybe doing our gift exchange on Saturday since we both have the day off together which happens very rarely--and we can NEVER wait until closer to Christmas to do our presents. Well, I hurried home last night to wrap his gifts that I've had stashed here at work. When he got home, we caved and opened presents right after dinner. I knew everything I was getting except for the awesome K-State business card holder he got me.
How does that make today so great? Well let me tell you.
I woke up this morning, excited because it's my birthday and we're going to the bars tonight; something we almost never do and when we do go, it's usually just to hang out with friends and drink soda until it's time to come home. So, I'm psyched that this year we actually get to do something out of the ordinary to celebrate AND I can hardly wait to get to work so I can put my new business card holder to use. I've wanted one for 2 years and the one he picked out is different than any I've ever seen so that just adds to the 'cool-ness' of it. So I'm working away, busy busy, finally get to go to lunch and see that I have two voice mails on my cell phone. My mom-in-law AND my aunt-in-law have called and left me b-day messages! I expected it from my MIL, but never in a million years from the aunt. Yay, that's awesome! So, I go out to my car and lay the seat back hoping to be able to take a quick nap; I'm so exhausted and I know I want to be up late tonight. Well, I was actually able to fall asleep for a good 40 minutes so I feel great now! I come back in to work, and my husband calls. He sounds like he's in a much better mood than he was this morning and I ask him how his last final went.
...
He says he couldn't care less, he's got 82 bucks in his pocket and isn't worried about any final. Then, before I could even say "huh?" he says, "I had 90 but I picked up some Bacardi 03 and I'm having a drink before I go to work." (He's got 3 hours) He took his last final, it went well, and then he sold his text books back.
It's now officially Christmas/Holiday/Winter Break, we're off work tomorrow, we're going out tonight with enough money (MORE than enough) to actually buy some drinks without worrying about finances, the in-laws have made my day by calling me, and I haven't had such a great day in a long time!
And I owe part of my happiness to DU for the Birthday wishes first thing this morning. You guys are the best!
Thanks for letting me share, I don't have anyone here at work to be excited with. And BTW, it's taken me almost an hour to type this I've been so busy, but today I don't even care!
