It’s my birthday too, yeah!

That’s right- the big 3-0 today. I got two early morning calls wishing me a happy birthday, and when I got to work my area was completely covered with balloons- (cute 'till I had to clean 'em up- what the hell do I DO with them??)

My husband got me an MP3 player and my best friend got me a pair of thermal pajamas. My sister also got me some candles. (So far, that’s the loot count)

So have a Happy Zette day, everyone!

🙂

Zette  
30 today

Cheers for the Beatles reference, **Zette**! And have a great 30th! Have a relaxing evening listening to your new MP3 player by candlelight while, er, wearing your thermal pyjamas.

Yeehaw and Happy Birthday!

I don’t have a cake, but here’s some left-over Halloween candy (didn’t have anyone show up last night!).

Cheers!
