I was told that I could celebrate in style... that is, my Birthday could be celebrated all week. "Alright," I thought. "I can handle this." So, on the big day, my co-worker and friend, Amanda, made a huge lunch, complete with chocolate covered strawberries. Both of us ladies flanking Amanda have our Birthdays on the same day... even more reason to celebrate!

A co-worker, standing in the pictue below, brought in some lovely flowers for the Birthday girls.

Then at the end of the week, a group of us went out for paella. Oishkata desu!
No worries mama-kins, although I was missing you guys, I was in good hands with my friends here!
