So my birthday was Thursday. Good times. Ivan put a lot of thought into the gifts this year, although he's actually a very good gift giver most of the time anyway. So, he got me a camo colored hat and had the continent of Africa embroidered on the front in red and the South African flag embroidered on the back, some Armani Exchange sunglasses for the "African sun," a Leona Lewis CD because I like her, Michael Jackson's 25th Anniversary Thriller CD because "Africans love Michael Jackson," and a silver AIDS awareness bracelet where all the proceeds go to fighting AIDS, and then also sent me flowers. I was really happy. Definitely got things I can use and have to do with things that are important to me. Plus he put this all in a teal & lime colored bag, which are the colors I decorated the spare room in, and the card had a martini on it, which is my favorite drink! So that was cool. That night we had some Olive Garden, of course :) Friday night me, Ivan & Jeff went to the comedy club and saw Bob Marley, who was hysterical. It was a really good time.
Oh, and my coworker Nan gave me the absolute sweetest card. I have to tell you what the card said because it was just amazing! So, on the outside it said:
"Some people will always be special. Some people don't wait to be asked to help out, to listen, to be there, to care...Some people just know how to give from the heart--yet somehow, aren't even aware how selfless, how thoughtful, how needed they are--how many lives that they touch. Those people will always be special--and will always mean so very much."
So then inside the card says:
"For all the ways you're special, for the joys you share and the love you give, may your day be filled with all that's special to you."
And then Nan wrote some really nice things too, but anyway, I just thought it wast the sweetest card ever.
What else...this weekend has been really lazy. I did a lot of cleaning and Ivan was in a golf tournament. I'm kinda just hanging out and soaking up time with the puppies and Ivan. I leave in just under 3 weeks now...wow! What I'm more excited about than anything at the moment is that there's only 4 days of school left!! They will be a busy 4 days, but there's only 4 of them. And then Megan will be here too, so that's pretty dang exciting as well.
Well I guess that's all for now.
