Awww....

phoebesmum sent me an e-card for my birthday, and folks from the jla_watchtower just pulled me into a chatroom to sing me happy birthday! *giggles*

Thankfully there's no chance of the representatives of Mildred and Patty Hayes suing them for it! *winks*

So...

So far today's going about as expected, though it is a very nice day out.

Thought I'd share with you a little Sports Night ficlet I wrote a couple of months ago but hadn't bothered to type up yet. It's loosely based on something that happened in the office one afternoon.

It's G-rated, with no specific paring. I may cross-post it to inthetallgrass this evening. Maybe. Hope you enjoy it!

( herein lies some fic.... )

o.O

A bouquet of flowers just got delivered to the office for me!

There's no name on the card so I don't know for sure who it's from, though I
have a couple of suspicions. Whoever it was, thank you!

My birthday

So...I was anticpating a pretty crappy day, same as last year.

Last year, the people at work did my birthday presentation the day before, 'cause there was another girl on my team whose birthday was that day. So my own birthday went pretty much ignored, aside from a few greetings. This meant that I wasn't in an especially good mood that evening, when I had to spend it at home with my parents and the only people who came to visit was my maternal aunt and Mam's stepmother. I was almost in tears when I went online, and was cheered up by the lovely jeditigger and daywalkermike.

This year, katyanicholovna was determined I wouldn't feel so down again today, so she's organised a virtual party for my RPG character at lunatic_cafe! I'm treating it like a surprise party as, as far as my Drakey-boy knows, it's April - not September, which is when we worked out his birthday actually is! *grins*

My manager and supervisor at work apparently didn't get notified that my birthday was coming up, so there was another scramble at lunchtime to get me something - just like the year before last! *laughs* This year, however, instead of the irritating smellies I got a box of chocolates and a gift card for the dvd store.

Plus there was the absolutely adorable flower arrangement that katyanicholovna arranged to have delivered to my office! I knew she was sending me something, so as soon as I got the email from reception I flew out of my chair like a bat out of hell! *laughs* I really didn't expect flowers - I'll have to try and post a picture of them this weekend.

After work, I headed home to do some tidying up around the flat. Mam collected Rowan for me so she could get him to sign my birthday card - he's starting to write his own name now, and he's doing great. Can already type it perfectly, and the handwriting's coming along nicely. I've had several cards, and a cheque from my grandparents. I'm gonna have to phone them at some point to thank them...I hate phones.

I also got a big surprise when I turned my mobile phone on as I left the office. I got two text messages - one from my local best friend, and the other from my former housemate. The one from Mel was a basic 'Happy Birthday, Little Legs!" *giggles* The one from Tim read "Happy birthday, beautiful. Hope you have a great day."

....

Woah.

This completely floored me, as that's not the kind of thing he normally says to me.

It's left me with a fuzzy feeling all afternoon, and I keep checking my phone to make sure I haven't misread it....
