Dawn's Digression.

She gave me two books to go with the booklight. "Wildflowers" by VC Andrews and "Summer Sisters" by Judy Blume. Poor thing tried so hard to pick a VC Andrews book. She even dug through the bookshelf to see what I already had. Unfortunately, I had my Wildflowers series in a box in the closet. :( I had also read Summer Sisters. But I'll tell you, I was SO impressed that she picked out two authors I really like. She has no idea who Judy Blume is (Can you imagine?!?) and yet picked out that book -- one of the best I've read in a long time. Today I took Summer Sisters back and got "Wifey". Another of the three adult Judy Blume books I'm aware of. I'll take back the VC Andrews when 'Twisted Root(s)' comes out. Gives me something to look forward to.
I also got some flowers and my favorite kind of cake, white buttercream. OMG. Heavenly. Oh and Phish Food. Yummy.
She gave me a tiny Bonsai tree kit for my desk at work. It's cute. It looks like it will take 6 months to grow, but I suppose it will keep me occupied.
She gave me a really nice watch. I've never had a watch before, and I'm really self-conscious about it because I'm afraid I'll beat it up. You know how your watch clangs on things all the time. I am scared to death I'll scratch it up and she'll have my head. It's really pretty though. I'm completely surprised that she didn't get too fancy on me. I actually told her about a month or so ago not to try to get me a watch. But she did good. I understand she had a hard time picking it out. It's a Swiss ESQ watch. Silver with a blue face. It has the date on it, and Roman numerals. Nice. The band is actually buggin' me. I think I may see if they can make it larger for me. I like my watches really loose. I'm just afraid if it is looser, it'll have more opportunity to get banged up as is twirls around my wrist. Oy.
I was completely spoiled on my birthday, ya'll. I got more things, and she did some other things I'm not going to list. For so long I shared my birthday with someone. It's nice to have it all be about me now. My birthday has been really nice the last two years, even though I still carry the baggage. But this year was better than last, and next year it probably won't phase me at all. To be honest, I was less phased this year than I thought I would be. I received phone calls from those I expected them from. I was worried/upset for awhile that two of my people wouldn't call, but of course they both called right in the middle of us watching a movie. (Is there another time to call?) And while I didn't want to talk (Does this make me a bitch?), I was extremely grateful and happy that they called.
