I have great friends

So as you all know, I turned 40 a couple of weeks ago. I didn't want a party for a number of reasons which are personal to me. So what I did that day was come to work really early and bring in my birthday cake (German Chocolate with Coconut Pecan frosting -- My favorite!) for my office. I sent out an email and told them all to enjoy it. It was an amazing cake because when I got back into work the next day, there was one more piece left...for me. Later in the day I enjoyed some Johnny Walker Blue. That was a good present to myself. For one of my friends, my wishes for no party fell on deaf ears. She told me I needed one and we compromised on her idea. A tea party for a small group of people. It was a little over week ago but I still think about it. We had Champagne, a wonderful selection of teas and she made everything...scones...finger sandwiches...yum!

Thanks Marianne! You were right.
