Amand'a Most Awesome Day

I just had the greatest day! So . . . nothing was so special about the first eight hours . . . but after that, things started spicing up! Some of my friends from work were going to a friend, Tricia's, house to see her and her babies and to eat dinner with them since her husband is out of town. While I'm riding with my friends to Tricia's house, we stop by Resch's to get a cake for her because her birthday is on the 4th. They have little gifts for her birthday, and I am getting a little mad thinking, "Um, why didn't anyone tell me that this was a birthday thing? I didn't even get her a card!" Here's why: it was a surprise for me too! My birthday is on the 5th and the presents weren't just for Tricia, they were for me too! Whoo hoo!

I've never had a surprise anything (at least that I can think of right now at 10:15 PM). So it was great! And, drum roll please . . . they got me a Pandora bracelet and a present charm! A real Pandora bracelet all for me! Can I use any more exclamation points! I'm not sure! I feel so special. I have the greatest friends! (see there's that darn exclamation again:)

Then, on the way home, I called another friend, Krysta, who lives in DC and just got engaged, and she asked me to be in her wedding! I know that it could be applicable in my spinster situation to say, "Always a bridesmaid, never a bride," but I've never even been a bridesmaid before:) So this is a first!

To quote from one of the cards I got this evening (from my cool entourage, of which, of course, I am the head because I am the coolest;) : "Happiness is like peeing in your pants. Everyone can see it, but only you can feel its warmth." If that is true, then I better invest in some Depends because I am very, very happy to have such a wonderful day:)
