So the week before Christmas is my birthday. I usually don't do anything - people are either out of town or doing last minute Christmas shopping, and so I always say I'll celebrate in January. The new year starts, we get busy with classes and school, and I end up forgetting about it. The most I'll do is dinner with some friends.
Well, this year a friend of mine took it upon herself to make sure we had cake on my birthday.
The day before, we all were out for dinner for a friend who had successfully passed her PhD thesis proposal (Yay MJ!). After dinner, the waiter walks over carrying a cake, and they all start singing happy birthday (they were all in on the devious plan).
I had no idea it was for me. So I did what anyone would have: I joined in singing happy birthday, thinking it was for someone else.
So I'm belting out happy birthday along with everyone, wondering whose birthday is today and why everyone is looking at me like I'm an idiot. Then the dude puts the cake down in front of me. Then the lightbulb went off.
Yeah. I'm smart like that :)
Thanks again to Mariane for the cake, and to everyone who made my birthday weekend so much fun :)
