bex77What a week it has been! Lots of birthday celebrations. It was incredible to hear from or eat with so many people! I feel celebrated and humble, and a bit overwhelmed.
It became a bit of an experiment in communication modes.
Here's how the data played out:
- Facebook 52 wall messages
- LJ 4 comments
- Email 2 (former co-worker, college friend)
- Phone 3 (mom, older sister, and one other)
- Ecard 1 (former co-worker)
- Physical card 1 (N's dad)
So Facebook is definitely the place to be on your birthday! I heard from friends in South Africa, Sweden, many states including Hawai'i, and Australia! Nothing like a worldwide birthday!
My student workers presented me with a red velvet cupcake, and my co-workers gave me Burdick's chocolate!
I was also blessed with a fabulous series of birthday dinners.
Wednesday - The Red House with Neil for lobster risotto etc.
Friday - Chez Elizabeth's with A, J and N.
Fried chicken, roasted broccoli, rice and gravy, followed by peach/blueberry cobbler with mascarpone whipped cream. And the company of my favorite three-year-old. Hooray!
Saturday - fun with theater people - a table for six at Shanghai Village in Arlington, MA for drinks with umbrellas, shared appetizers and entrees!
Sunday - more fun with theater people - a table for ten at the brand new Foundry in Davis Square. Corn chowder and spaetzle, then a free slice of chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry coulis. Finally, a birthday cake! Fun place to see and be seen.
Still have to work in dinner with my parents.
Many thanks to anyone who was in touch, and special thanks to N. and E. for arranging such great get-togethers!
Woot!
