So the day continues...
For lunch, Kelly and Rita took me to a Psychic to get my palm read. Her name was Tina and she had itty bitty brown teeth. At first, she was really intense and I bought into everything she was saying. She told me that my Aura was very dark right now due to the lack of support that I have with my friends. Also that my close circle was really jealous of me, etc. She told me that I need to pull away from these people in order to succeed in my chosen career, etc. Then she goes: "Do you have a question for me?"
I say: "What can I do to get my positive Aura back?"
She says: "Well, you need to give me $190 for these purple crystals. 9 of them to be exact." Idiot me gives her $1.90. She about bursts into laughter and says: "No. $190. I take checks, cash, etc." I say: "I don't have that kind of money on me." Tina proceeds to ask me if my friends have the money. In my head I am thinking...My friends ain't gonna give me $190 for crystals just so that I can turn around and tell them that Tina says that they are jealous of me and hate me deep down. Craziness, right?
I leave her apartment and try to hunt down Kelly and Rita so that we can jump on a subway and get away without paying this loon. Unfortunately, the devil herself aka Tina, found us on the street and got her money. She turned to me, baring those beautiful, pearly browns and said: "Now remember...don't tell your friends about this reading. Keep it to yourself." "Oh, and call me when you have the money." Right Tina...in fact...I will write over my birthday checks to you. :-D
But thank you to Kelly for this unforgettable experience. In fact, Tina said to me over and over "You will never forget me." She was right...I will laugh from today until forever about how ridiculous you are lady.
When I returned to work, I was so overjoyed to find a HUGE bouquet of flowers from Paul. THEY ARE AMAZING! He did such a wonderful job picking them out and it makes me feel good. He always comes through. But why does he have to be such a prick first? I'll never know.
I also got cards from everyone I work with, as well as a GORGEOUS (german for awesome) photo album, and two blocks of cheese from my lady friend, one miss Angela. Everyone took such good care of me and that makes my heart swell to about 3 times its original size. As we know...I can be grinchy, but today...I am just happy.
In other news...Angie called me today to say happy birthday. I was dreading talking to her, but once on the phone...damn I miss her. I try to shut the door on her face every day, but somehow she always makes it back in. She is an incredible girl with the best of intentions. It's just that sometimes she does some really shitty things. I don't know. I do hope she can make it out tonight.
I realized today that there are all GIRLS going out with me for my birthday. Not one gent. For real? Have I really turned into that guy? I guess I have always been that guy, but wow. I need some male companionship. Sometimes. For the most part...I love being friends with girls. They are so much more fun. But I would like to have a guy go out with us just so that he can protect us from harm. HAHAHAHAHA.
That's what Rita's boyfriend will do when he gets here. Protect all of us ladies. :-D
Today has been a beautiful day from beginning to end. It's how birthdays should go. I love everyone in my life and am so grateful for everything that was done for me today.
And the day has only just begun.
This week is bomb. I tried to write every little detail in here so that I wouldn't forget a thing. Ever.
