Birthday!

Thursday was my birthday! I had a great day and felt very loved. Everyone in my family called me and Laura and JA, too. Brandon had the biggest and most beautiful flower arrangement I have ever seen sent to me at work. People stopped and gawked whenever they walked by my office. My boss said it was like no one had ever seen flowers before. And speaking of my boss, she gave me orchids and chocolates and took me out for lunch. Best boss ever.

I can't lie, though - the whole day was not perfect. After work I had to race home to get dressed for dinner. I left my office, walked out to my car and stopped. Holy crap. The car next to mine was parked so close that there was no way I was going to be able to fit my body - pregnant or not - in between. Are you freaking kidding me? Oh, I was pissed. I turned around and started walking back into the building to find the owner of the car, but then I started to feel guilty. As a pregnant lady I didn't feel that I had to remedy this on my own. There was no way in hell I was going to attempt to climb from the passenger side over to the driver's seat...or was there? I can fix this! I don't deserve special treatment! I'm still nimble! And then I learned something - I was very wrong. As I attempted to lift my body from the passenger seat it felt like a magnet was pulling me down. I literally could not lift my body up more than a couple inches. It was bizarre and sad and I felt completely helpless. In the end, it took two people and four telephone numbers to reach this guy. I wanted to punch him in the moneybags when I saw him, but I could tell he felt bad. Instead I said "Are you trying to prove to me that I'm fat?" Poor guy. I feel bad about that now, but I didn't know what else to say. And I'm a smart ass. I don't know if you and I have met.

Thankfully, the day ended on a high note. Brandon and I had dinner with Molly and Owen at Angelini Osteria. The dinner was awesome and the company was even better. This weird guy showed up at the end of dinner. I have no idea who it was, but I found him to be very attractive.
