This came from a friend, who apparently thinks it's quite funny to make me translate my birthday wishes before I get them.

These flowers were waiting for me on my desk when I arrived at work today, as a gift from my dear co-workers, who never fail to amaze me.

With my 29th birthday just a little over 24 hours away (HOW is that possible?), I've heard that many people are at a loss for what to get for me.

While I try to not be very superficial or materialistic, there are certain needs/desires that I run into from time to time.  For those of you who would like to fall into that category for my birthday gift, you're in luck.  Even though it's last minute notice, you can always visit my Amazon Wish List.

Also, don't feel obligated to stick to the one day of the year when we celebrate my life.  You can celebrate my greatness at any time of the year!  Surprise gifts are always welcome!!!  WHEE!!!!  If you'd like to check in with my Wish List from time to time (as I update it often), you can find the link on the right side of the screen in the links section.

Again, not pushing for gifts, just simply throwing out options for the future when you're stuck for ideas...Make sure to stop by again on Wednesday for my birthday post and don't forget to stop by my travel journal.
