For those of you who don't read my Twitter, my birthday went really well. And, in other news, I no longer work at Del Taco. Now that I've moved in with Ramiro, my job wasn't exactly close by to my new digs so it was costing more in gas money to get to work than I was actually making at work. So I resigned. I turned in my uniform on my birthday. My boss was sad to see me go and said that if I was ever back in the area and needed a job that I'd always have a place with her at Del Taco. So that was nice.
Anyway, here are some pictures from my birthday. Ramiro and I went over to my parents' house and Mom made us dinner and they all sang the Birthday song and so on. Good times. I was very full afterward.
Picture my dad took of the table just before we ate. Mom made steaks and a big salad with bleu cheese dressing (made from scratch!). It was all very good.
Since I can't eat sugar, my mom got me a loaf of sourdough bread in lieu of a birthday cake. I got to keep the loaf and have been slicing it up and using it for sandwiches all week!
Omigosh! A birthday card! XD
My parents put something in the birthday card, but I wasn't allowed to look at it (no spoilers!) until I finished reading the very wordy card. Dad kept making comments and I was cracking up. Then Ramiro started laughing too when he saw me laughing. I was afraid that his drink was going to come out his nose and then I'd really lose it (but, it didn't; thank goodness). I love pictures of people laughing. :)
And, of course, I got to visit my darling Dorian Grey. I love/miss my cat so much. That was my favourite birthday gift. <3I guess that's about it for now.
I hope everyone's having a very happy 2010!

PS: A very special thank you to all of you who called, texted, and sent cards and/or presents. I know I've already thanked you guys, but I wanted to say it again: THANK YOU! You're the best. :)
