Nothing is better than a birthday filled with wonderful friends - whether it's in-person, phone, text, Facebook, Heytell or ESP.
A few highlights:
- Friends that incorporated hilarious quotes from the Bachelor into my birthday wishes
- An awesome, thoughtful gift that is hanging in my kitchen - spicy! (photo below)
- Beer and homemade cookie cake (my fav) with wonderful, favorite friends at the Gingerman
- A surprise package of plastic eggs (not sure what's in all of them yet - I've discovered a chocolate, the word SNAKE and a photo)
- Singing voicemails
- A drunken phone call at 9am
- Birthday wishes from friend's kids
- Wrong age mentions (I'm not 32 or 40)
- An amazing work dinner at Neighborhood Services
- Food references - mentioning chips, snacks and m&ms
- L's gift - I guessed it before I opened it
- Tweets
- Love from NC friends who claim they miss me
I'm very lucky to have such wonderful friends and family in my life! Thank you all!
For my birthday I got a few really cool, unique gifts. I love that my family got gifts that were not the usual.
My parents got me something that will take some work in order for me to get something out of it: a mini garden. They got these two box planters with tomatoes, bell peppers, basil and thyme plants! I am so excited - but I have NEVER kept a plant alive. Maybe these guys will be successful because this is the most I've ever been committed to plants. Anyway, I live on the third floor and have a tiny balcony, so we'll see how they do - no animals to eat them (err, do birds eat these?).
www.jessredman.com !!! My brother and his wife bought me this domain. Ok, I know I should be using it now, but I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to explore. Just wait though, I'll be moving the Adventures of Jess over there. I can't wait to learn more about web development (is it even that?) and have my own site!
