Thank you all for all the nice birthday gifts. They started to arrive on Wednesday with my first package from Andrea. Then, on Thursday, Andrea’s flowers grown on a volcano arrived. Then, Melissa’s flowers on Friday arrived. Soon people were just pointing to my office. I went to a great German restaurant with Kelly on Friday night. Due to Tropical Storm Erika, Andrea didn’t make it, but I still made an airport sign showing the storm blowing our plans away. I went to a birthday party for Kelly’s husband on Saturday. Bob’s edible arrangement arrived Sunday afternoon. On Monday, Jerry gave me a gift card to Olive Garden. I have been eating free the entire month. I had free meals at Noodles, First Watch, Denny’s, IHOP, Southwest Moe’s, Jason’s Deli, and Einstein’s mostly thanks to Andrea signing me up for free birthday deals. Another email mentioned “How to get rid of that muffin top.”
Today was very nice. It was my birthday celebration at work and they went all out. I got an Elsa balloon. A Disney lunchbox with Disney dollars in it. Kelly made two quiche dishes. We also had scones and fruit. Julie gave me tea and a chime for my porch. Rachel and Maryann made a great birthday card.
Tonight, I celebrated Bev’s birthday in China. We ate at Nine Dragons. The servers sang “Happy Birthday” to her. It is September which means the crowds are down, so we were able to ride Soarin’ with pretty much no wait!
The Food and Wine kiosks are already out at Epcot!
