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.
