One of those non-milestone birthdays...

I know that I promised Thanksgiving photos and then I wanted to post our Polar Express train ride photos and blog about both. I am way, way, way, way behind. But I do have a few photos that were taken just a couple days ago on my birthday. I'm going with them and maybe eventually I'll get around to blogging about the other two holidays.

Click here to see the party my office hosted and the beautiful new bedding that Gina got me. All my sheets and my comforters have holes in them because I allow the dogs to chew their treats in bed with me at night. Hopefully these new ones will last a while. I think they are really pretty - I love Southwest designs.

The office party had one of my two favorite cakes - Italian Cream Cake (German Chocolate is the other) - and you can see that Jeanett made a Star Trek themed banner announcement over my door. The card they gave me is in honor of my two Bettas that stay at my office - Fire & Ice. I posted it on the door and everyone came by and signed it.

Denise sent me a really cool clock that projects colored stars on the ceiling and plays a wide variety of sounds. She suggested I put it in the Star Trek Shrine, but the window that goes out to the cul-de-sac lets in too much light from the street light near our driveway. The stars are much more vivid in the darkness of my bedroom. Delightful!

Mom gave me $50 which I will be using on our trip to the casino this weekend. We both have a chance to get in the cash whirlwind machine where Mom won nearly $500 last year. My turn this year! She & Gina took me out to eat at Cracker Barrell where I had my usual - a bowl of chicken/dumplins and turnip greens. Yum!

Iris, my friend from Germany, called and sang a beautiful rendition of happy birthday to me! All in all, I felt very celebrated. Thanks everyone!!!!
