So, I have a confusing birth date. Like, I have to explain to everyone, every time it comes up. I actually have an actual birthday, AND a legal birthday. The story goes as such, I was born on October 25th, 1979. Unfortunately, through some clerical error, my birth certificate shows October 26th. Mom wasn't in too terrible of a rush to fix it, guess where I got my procrastination habit from? So...it never got changed. So I have two birthdays. I'd *planned* on celebrating it on the 26th this year, as it's a Friday, but facebook kinda screwed me. 40 some odd posts on my wall, and more than a few of them NN'ers.. which of course... means they came over HERE..
So anyway, yeah. TWO birthdays

Cuz that's how I roll.
It's been an amazing day, though. I got a package from my parents yesterday. A bunch of cross stitch things Mom wanted to be rid of, and I could use. And an article from their paper where my Dad-doo was inducted into the Knights of Columbus. There was also a red plush heart, with a note pinned to it that said "I hope what's inside here is as precious to you as you are to me." I unzipped the heart, and inside was a little plush frog, with a ring tied on a ribbon around his neck. It was my Mema's wedding band and engagement ring. Now, Mema wanted it passed down to her oldest daughter (my Mom), to be passed down to HER oldest daughter (Me. I really hadn't expected to see it unearthed from Mom's jewelry box until after she passed. It's nothing flashy, but I cherish it as I know my Mema did.

AND THEN! Check snail mail this morning, and there's ANOTHER package in there! From Florida as well, but from someone I met on NN (who unfortunately, doesn't come around NN anymore), and who has become someone very special to me, for a lot of reasons. I rip into the package like a child, I know he told me he was sending a card, but... seriously ya'll... this was no mere card! Season 3 and Season 4 of Sons of Anarchy (my all time FAVORITE SHOW), bandannas, and bracelets. Plus the card

Dum's cooking me dinner, and we'll sit down and watch a few episodes of SOA. My birthday cake... thank goodness I didn't have to make it. Our French pastry chef came up with this...orgasmicly delicious 3 mousse cake, white chocolate mousse, milk chocolate mousse, and dark chocolate mousse.. all separated by a chocolate ganache. *moans* Going to take a pic for NN when I blow out the candle

Thank you, all of you, for making today so fantastic. It never fails to astound me how close I am to so many of you, and how it's possible to find such special people in such an unusual place. I
