All I want for my birthday part TRES

by Heidi on April 9, 2008

So you’ve seen my birthday lists here and here. Well, birthday came early. So far?

I’ve gotten:

1. my new blackberry. Woo!!

2. The Green flowered trench coat (i ordered it the other night)

and today…

I GOT A 20% RAISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am…in the money. This year? Is going to be a very very very good year. I’m pretty sure when my boss told me, my eyes MUST have turned to dollar signs. It’s all I can think about. I’m practically spending the money that I haven’t even gotten yet even though I have about half a dozen things that need to be paid off first.

Soo. Effing. Excited.

And if you didn’t see me in today’s Washington Post Express? I was in the blog log. Again. I’m convinced it’s simply because I’m awesome.

hey, congratulations! Is it sad that my eyes would’ve looked like dollar signs, too? Well, they would have. I’m sure you totally deserve it, and enjoy! Happy early birthday indeed!
