The Birthday. 2010.

Can I just say how much of an amazing birthday this year was? Really feel blessed to have such great people in my life. This year was especially fantastic because my Work Wife (yes, I have a work wife), went out of her way to make it a "Ben" day. And how can you not feel loved when someone wants to do that for you. I mean, sure there's always the decorating of the cube. But she made me strawberries dipped in chocolate, brought makings for Mimosas and Bloody Marys for the morning (hey it's always drinking time somewhere in the world), AND she arranged my bday lunch.

Gawd I love that woman. And before you get all, "date that girl", sadly, she's engaged. Obviously, not to me. But what can you do?

But even then, the only plan I had for the evening was a Happy Hour at one of my favorite places in town. Such a wonderful turn out. It was a beautiful day, and what more could you want than the company of friends, smiling faces, and lots of laughs? Seriously, it was such a wonderful day. And I really feel lucky to have so many amazing people in my life. Even those who couldn't make it out, still sent bday wishes... just amazing.

And as for the evening? Well, a friend of mine, his partner, wanted to take me to Shady Lady. Those of you who don't know, it's a strip club. That was an experience to be sure. Been to clubs before, but it always ends weird. Like getting hustled by a dancer in Vegas for the Big Bro's bachelor party, or running into a girl I know at a club who ends up being one of the dancers... awkward right? Well, thankfully no hustling, and no familiar faces. But great people watching... wait, NOT what you think. But if you want details, you'll just have to ask me in person.

Anyway, I just needed to express the happiness. So, whatever, I'll put it here. Just a great bday. And even a better weekend so far. Just a lot of love, giving and getting. So, thank you. I don't know who I am saying thank you to. Just felt right. Okay. The end.
