Another year… :sigh: 23 and counting.
Big ups to JUSTIN… the official first birthday well wisher. This was a nice way to wake up. Thanks Justin, you’re a doll. That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
Kelly called too. She’s person number two. Call me and add your name to the “I called Holly and said Happy Birthday” list.
The “I Just Called to Say I Love You / Happy Birthday” List:
Kelly - 7:41AM. The first “call”. Thanks Kels!
Co-workers (Sam, Manual, Daniel, Lani…)- 9:24AM Thanks guys! Wow… I can’t believe my co-workers remembered before my sister. lol
Tina- 9:25AM… my own sister.. in a close 4th place. lol
Allison & Renee- 9:26AM Allison and I share the same birthday… so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLISON!!! and thanks Renee!
Josephine - 9:53AM. “You’re at work, but happy birthday” - thanks Peanut!!
Stephanie - 10:36AM. I know you called, girl, but I’m at work and I haven’t listened to my voicemail yet. Thanks tho!
Mario - 5:03PM via Text Message. You coulda called, punk… but thanks anyway.
Jonathan - March 19th, 10:33AM. A day late and a dollar short, Jonathan. But you know I love you anyway…
Lynell - March 20th, 11:35AM. Two days late… but you’re taking me out to dinner sometime this week so it’s okay :blush:
And I don’t understand my horoscope today at all:
“You’re not vulnerable, but you are open-minded. If you crack the window to listen, loved ones fill your ears with promises, promises - set out on your kitchen table like empty teacups.”
Yeah, happy frickin’ birthday. lol Here’s a better one:
“TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 18th). You truly have a new attitude this year, which opens avenues for success. Exclusive circles welcome you. One social tie leads to another, and before you know it, you’re in love. But the practicalities must be worked out by June, or it takes several more months for this relationship to hit a comfortable groove. Love signs are Aries and Sagittarius. Your lucky numbers are 9,5,19,1 and 35.”
Yeah, that one’s better. We’ll go with that one.

My mother is finally on a plane to the Philippines. She’s over Samoa or Fiji or something right now. Thank goodness. We’ll all sleep easier when she lands.

Aww… you really did put me up there without a slash through my name ! I swear I meant to call you - do I get redemtion points for sending your gift a week early ?
Love you sweetie !! Miss you
No no, I updated…
see?!
I guess when your best friend is 13 time zones away, a late call is acceptable, especially since you told me what my present was already!
Damn… that cross-through list you got there is harsh !
What if I promise to bring you lots of baguettes and butter next time I come home ? I’ll even throw in some more mustard for your mama for good measure
Keep checking your present, I hope it gets there soon !
Love you ! Bisous and bijoux (your pick
Throw in the pot du crème au chocolat (de Lederprice) avec la beurre (du Champion) et la baguettes and you have a deal.
Et… je préfère le bijoux
Deal !!
I may even throw in a panini poulet-curry
Bijoux !
