its always sunny by the beach

october 23, 2011...one year older....25 already. man i'm now in the 25 and older group. no longer in the 19-24 group. 

like i stated in my earlier post, my family was here and it was so great, SO great! 

we started off my 25 year of living by celebrating with a bonzai bowl!! if you were to ask me what a perfect birthday would be i would say: 

* bonsai bowl

* my besty

* frozen banana(s), 

* my family 

* pretty beach (no particular order of course).

this birthday i had them all. what a lucky girl!!

even a teal box.

(maybe they call it robin's egg blue?)

anyway it was a super pretty necklace

...and a set of GOLD PANS!!!
(that's the present a wife of a cookware specialist gets. and she couldn't be happier!!! this present really shows his love for me. calphalon is bradshaws arch enemy....and he got them anyway. yay!!! i love to cook!
these will look great hanging. the last touch to my finished kitchen---with a big house and lots of kids of course.
i'll just hang it in my kitchen. yep looks perfect.

ah....ecstatic. 

oh and the gift-giver. 

 

best birthday so far...it'll be hard to top.
the only downer of the day was the emergency room at hoag hospital. my birthday lasted especially long. i usually take a nap (or sleep the whole day) but since it was my birthday, i couldn't sleep! so i calculated i was up for 25 full hours. a nice fit being 25.
i did have a nice surprise at work. since i just moved to the night crew, i don't know anyone good enough to tell them it was my birthday. so i didn't.
good ol' Facebook did though! some nice nurse named olivia bought me a cake with my name on it! how nice!! really it was so nice.

unfortunately, none of my patients noticed it was my special day. not even the 'transient' of the night who told me i was the worst (beep beep) nurse ever. he took a good couple of swings at my 25 year old face. good thing my 25 year old muscles are well toned:) ha ha ok j/k. there was a police officer there in a blink of an eye. maybe next year my kick boxing will pay off.

that didnt damper my day though...after a good cry i remembered my copper pans were at home waiting. and my nice bed. and the sun was shining.

PS. i have a great red set of aeternum pans that will need a new home...
