Top 10 Reasons my birthday wasn't as bad as I was afraid it would be:

1. Big Brownie Blast-- complete with brownie, walnuts, ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup.
2. Cheesecake with chocolate and caramel swirls.
3. Funfetti cupcakes.
4. Really "unique" confetti.
5. A gorgeous bouquet of carnations and roses-- that Sprocket hasn't yet eaten.
6. Care Bears socks.
7. Tossing a pile of fallen leaves over my head.
8. Actually having time to study for a few hours.
9. Getting the same Hallmark e-card from several of my friends.
10. Surprise phone calls from two friends who mean a lot to me (including Bugs, yay!)
