Ahhh, this year’s birthday has been so awesome. I haven’t done anything extraordinarily special<\/i>… I’ve just been really happy<\/i>. And thanks to all of you for your wonderful birthday greetings! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

On my birthday, I got to work and found my cubicle decorated with streamers, confetti, and NEMO balloons! Awww. And the presents! I got a few pairs of earrings from my managers (I’m an earrings freak), a Banana Republic<\/a> gift card, a cute pink purse, and a pink hoodie (can you tell I love pink? :P). My office even threw me a little “party” that afternoon. \ud83d\ude42 I was blushing like crazy (I hate the attention) but OMG, the CAKES! I had a Strawberry Shortcake from Neldam’s Bakery<\/a> and a Chocolate Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory<\/a>. SO. YUMMY. I swear I’ve gained about 10 pounds this week just from all the birthday treats.<\/p>\n

I also got a new iPod<\/a> from Rob because I’ve been complaining about mine. Hehe. My current one is a second generation iPod that has the touch pad menu instead of the click wheel. But OF COURSE, the day *after* my birthday, freaking Apple decides to release the video iPod, which OF COURSE, has 10gb more space AND video capabilities for the SAME price as the 20gb iPod I just received. BOO. So Rob’s going to exchange it for me. WOOHOO. I AM SO EXCITED. I love new toys.<\/p>\n

Anyway, my dad showed up last night. He came up here to visit some old friends from college so he calls me and is like “Surprise! I’m here for the weekend.” Uhhhh. I don’t like surprises. I mean, I love my dad but give me some notice! He came over this morning and we had a great dim sum lunch over at the Oakland Chinatown. I stuffed myself silly. I have seriously eaten my weight in food this past week.<\/p>\n

So it’s been a good weekend so far (with the exception of the CAL<\/a> football loss). I hope everyone is having a great weekend as well! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
