Because we had celebrated my birthday while we were at my folks for labor day, and because John and I had planned to celebrate this weekend with a trip to the Meat Palace (aka, Texas de Brazil), I wasn't expecting much for my birthday. A couple of e-cards from the friends who don't usually forget, a call from my folks. That was about the level of my expectation. I didn't bother to put my birthday on our company Intranet, so no one at work would even know...except for my friend Diane, who shall be henceforth known as the Supreme High-Coordinator of Surprise Birthday Celebrations.

Not only were there cards, and brownies, but there was a cake! And I do love me some cake--and furthermore, I think that birthdays without cake are just...sad. And God bless my sweet husband, but he's not the cake buying sort.
So, thanks Diane, and Dwight and Melissa and Nora and Sarina and Tyrone and Dionne and Rhina and April and Sandra and Jaime and Steve and Cara for making my birthday special. :)
