today is a good day
me smiling ear to ear (except today icee's will be replaced with beer)
As soon as I got home, I was on the phone w/ Lucia when a beautiful vase of gerber daisies arrived from sweet Samara! yay!!
Then, I worked a little, and got a surprise call from Matt (my ex) who stopped over to give me a bday gift! What a surprise!!! But SUCH a welcome one, because that guy gives the BEST gifts ever!!! So guess what I got!??! Something I've been wanting and had on my wishlist for the longest time: The Iron Giant - Special Edition DVD! YAY!!!!!!! It's perfect that he got it for me, too - since we discovered the Iron Giant together. He was actually the one who gave me the huge Iron Giant poster I still have framed & hanging on my wall. I love that movie! Matt always knows just what to get.... what a sweetie!!!! Gotta love ex-boyfriends who are SUCH good guys that you never stop loving them. :)
He also got me a GC to Kiehls - which is awesome, considering the last thing I had from there was from him & I ran out & totally miss it. AND he gave me this hysterical car air freshener. Someone knows I like cat butt. hahhaaa Oh - and can't forget the great Emily the Strange birthday card, complete with a "birthday rap". :p It's awesome.
And so we hang out a bit & then he's like I gotta go... and I was like, "ya, what are you up to today?" and he was like "I'm going to Alaska." And I thought for sure it was a classic Matt joke... but he really is!! He was on his way to the airport! HA!
So I've cleaned up the backyard, the keg just arrived (yes, I'm having a keger hahhaa! - let's hear it for turning 30 and still partying like I'm 17!!). Now I have to jump in the shower, Lucia & my brother Max should be here soon, and then everyone's coming over later & we're going to celebrate WONDER WILLO!!!!!!!!!! :) I love birthdays!
Have a beer with me wherever you are. xoxo
p.s. actual birth day is 6/20/75 in case you're wondering.
