Saturday is my 40th birthday. The celebrations have begun. Today after work, 8 of my closest colleagues at work had a party for me. The wine was flowing, the food was delicious, the cake amazing, and presents! I had such a great time. All straight women! None of whom officially know I’m gay. They may suspect but I’ve never said anything. Anyway, we had a great time. A few glasses of wine later I was still able to drive home safely. Now I’m stuffed, too awake to go to bed and watching American Idol. I have a few other things planned for this weekend so the birthday celebrations are just beginning.

As soon as I got home I checked my e-mail and there was a very generous digital gift certificate to the iTunes Music Store from Shawn, the man I’m in love with (it’s not like he doesn’t already know it, damn the distance). Then I went through my snail mail and there was a very cute card from him. I know I use the term too much but Shawn is such a sweet man. Thank you, Shawn! Hugs and Kisses!
