YAY Flowers!!

Hooray for getting birthday flowers from my parents!! I love surprises that are pretty and smell good too. I had to put them in a plastic drink pitcher, usually reserved for Crystal Light, because they are the biggest flowers I’ve ever gotten!!! …they wouldn’t fit in the glass vase that I have without tipping over. Now the apartment is heady with the smell of them– I think it’s the white lily that is so aromatic.
I’ll go ahead and wax reflective here about turning 25 years old, or a quarter of a century as everyone likes to say. I guess its not so bad when it comes with a bouquet of flowers, the day off (not working on your birthday is pretty nice) spent leisurely in DC doing whatever I wanted, with the person I love the most, all followed by an awesome dinner out, which involved a cheese fondue pot!! Everything that makes me happy, all rolled into one day. 
We’ll post some photos this week of everything we did this today… Eastern Market crab-cake sandwiches, the Jim Henson exhibit at the Smithsonian International Gallery, artsy movies at the Hirshhorn Museum, dinner at Firefly…. stay tuned.
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and/or sang to me!
