Happy Birthday to Me: Part 2
My day basically went as planned.
I enjoyed a delicious chocolate-chip pancake breakfast at the Greenhouse Coffee Shop and restaurant at Harvard Square. With a full belly, I browsed a few of the stores in the Square, and resisted purchasing a cute card-holder at Black Ink. Empty-handed, I took the red line to Park Street and did some shopping at Downtown Crossing. I purchased a skirt, slacks and a necklace for work. I couldn't resist buying a cute little outfit for my baby girl as well. After browsing the books at Borders, I gave myself a mental pat-on-the-back for actually walking out of the bookstore without purchasing something: a first!
After noting the time, I rushed to the movie theater at Boston Common and bought a ticket for "The Descent," a hot dog and some Reese's bites (not exactly the leisurely, full course lunch I had planned but I had to compromise!) I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and recommend it to other horror-flick fans. I definitely plan to purchase the DVD of that movie when it comes out.
After the movie, I elbowed my way through the crowd, which now included some of the folks from the first Red Sox game and the early office rush hour crowd. When I got home, 2 vases full of flowers sat waiting for me on the living room window sill, each with a card. One was from my husband and the other from my daugher (signed and personalized by my dear husband, of course). It was a sweet gesture and such a nice surprise.
I had a wonderful birthday, to say the least. I wish I could have each Friday off from work to have some alone time to do whatever I want. Those kinds of days seem so few and far between.
