Yesterday I got a message from my parents telling me that my birthday is being rescheduled to July 31st this year. Normally I celebrate on July 29th being that is the date of my birth, but apparently they did not get my present in the mail in time for me to open it tomorrow so I will get it sometime on Tuesday. This is not at all a problem as it just gives me the opportunity to extend my celebration over several days.
I began my birthday celebration yesterday at work when my "Birthday Buddy" Fred (our Americorps Vista Intern/Sanity Preserver) brought in a virtual smörgåsbord of treats: cherry pie; apple pie; vanilla, coffee, and cherry chip ice creams; a cheese danish; and popcicles (inspired by the time my mom brought popcicles to all the campers and staff at my summer job one year). YUM! Since there were very few people around on a Friday afternoon we will be able to celebrate with them for a few days next week.
Finally, I think that my birthday present from Chuck is going to be a sewing machine! I have been wanting one for a while to do some simple projects. I think that I am going to order one from Sears online so that means that will arrive even later than my parents' package.
I like the concept of a birthday week and will be working on how to finagle this again next year.
