I’d almost forgotten the yearly tradition when the receptionist called yesterday to tell me I had a.. uh.. delivery at the front desk. Every year my parents send me flowers on my birthday. It’s always a nice surprise. This year they’re a lot different than past years.. my mom said she tried to get an arrangement that was “more elegant and grown up since you’re now in the next generation”. Gee thanks!

See my birthday flowers from 2004, 2003, and 2002.

    30 years. This is serious time. Now you have to buy some new toys. A house, a car, double your income, a washing machine. What else? Ikea furniture. Now you can cry! Happy Birthday! Nice flowers. Are they artificial? If not you can cry again! (allergies)

    I Guess They Don’t Think I’m THAT Old

    My parents might have gotten me the “elegant,” “grown up” flowers, but they still know I’m just a kid. Today a big box of candy came in from Old Time Candy .. supposed to be from the 80s. Some…

    Cheers, enjoy Autumn (I love hiking in Fall, I’m 20 min. from South Kettle Moraine).
