And Thus Ended The Twentieth Year

Roommates reunited!

Yesterday was my birthday! And I just had a fantastic time.

So we NEVER get out early at this one site. Even if only one patient is booked for the entire afternoon they will keep you until about half an hour before the end of your shift. Then they will "send you home early" after you've waited around for hours. So my classmate and I put on a little rehearsed skit for our preceptor. It went a little like this

Classmate: So what are you having for your birthday dinner tonight, Naomi?
Me: Oh I'm gonna make lasagna.
Classmate: That's not the typical birthday meal. People usually want steak or something like that.
Me: I'm having some people over so I figured that would be the easiest to feed a lot of people.

  At this point our preceptor starts to listen and asks if it's my birthday. I casually reply in the affirmative. She looked at us excitedly and then whispered that we should go home. We left the hospital laughing. All those years of drama finally paid off!

    I came home to perfectly timed letters and cards, birthday presents from Kyla (a fantastic squirrel cookie cutter that I then absolutely had to include in my cake plans!) and several phone calls (thank you Maple Ridge girls for the 11pm call. I loved hearing from you!)

Thank you people who love me!

I made a yummy lasagna and shared it with friends :) Wade bought me a stuffed squirrel that made squirrely noises (noticing a theme? I may or may not be obsessed with those fluffy-tailed rodents)

Pretty much how people react to me when I tell them about Squirrels

Ate my ice cream cake with my favorite coral
Tuitti Fruitti spoon

Cookie cutter squirrel cake:)

We watched Peter Pan and laughed at the things Disney was able to get away with in the 50's (The song 'What Made the Red Man Red?'...slightly racist)

Think of the happiest things! It's the same as having wings! Stinking love this movie and especially the music in it!

Today Brittney brought me a lovely pink cupcake, and it was big of her to buy a pink one cause she hates that color. It was almost too pretty to eat. Almost.

See? how is a person supposed to eat something this pretty?

You can try and tell yourself that you don't like the Biebs...but it would be a lie, wouldn't it?

And a singing/Flasing card was to be found when I got home. J-Biebs before puberty singing 'Baby'. I loved it

It wasn't a huge party and we didn't do anything really out of the ordinary but it's just so nice to be with people you love and who love you back. Also I love that someone else did the dishes :)
