I have the most amazing friends

Well, my birthday, my quarter of a century sucky holiday birthday turned out to be one of the best birthdays I have EVER had! Miss Shellie really out did herself and made everything work out perfectly. One of the highlights of the night was me coming home from work and her hiding behind a tree bc we had both gotten home at the same time and she had a birthday balloon for me. It was hilarious.

After we threw on some casual digs we left to pick up most of the gang and headed towards this really great sushi restaurant. Philadelphia rolls, octopus and some kind of red dragon thing shellie picked out. Yum. Fantastic.

And then, sneaky Shellie and my friend Sassy conspired to pull me away from the table for a bit. Sassy had baked me a double layered chocolate cake and had even put real tiny roses around and in the cake for decorations. It was so pretty! I walked back to a table filled with friends singing happy birthday and a cake lit with candles. I almost started crying. It was great. I haven't had someone go to this much trouble for my birthday since I turned 16 and my mom got me 16 pink balloons and 16 pink roses.

After dinner we went to see Brokeback Mountain. It was good, if not a little too long. I think I would have enjoyed it more if I would have watched it at my house. Plus I had invited the 'new guy' (the one i'm going on a date with tonight) so how's that for awkward. Hey, we haven't really hung out but do you wanna meet us for a movie and watch two guys make out and have sex and not really be able to talk to each other since we're watching a movie. Talk about breaking the ice. hehe. But, we'll see how tonight goes. Dinner and a possible movie again. This is turning out to be a fabulous Birthday week. I get to see my dad tomorrow too.

So, we didn't get home last night until 1am and I am so incredibly tired it's taking all my effort to just keep my eyes open. I don't want to be at work. :( Hopefully I don't fall asleep during dinner tonight. God I"m nervous. Dates make me nervous. Dating makes me nervous. I don't really like to date. I'd rather hang out with someone in a group until I feel really comfortable enough with them to hang out one on one.

Hmmm... I'll update everyone tomorrow and let ya'll know how it went.
