a truly fabulous annual cake day

although there was no actual cake. but there was plenty of other stuff. oh man did i make up for several hundred days of being 'good'. it's not that i've been depriving myself, i just like the new way of eating. but once in awhile, you gotta have an extraordinary day. i had cookies, a piece of almond cake slice (does not count as cake), and half of pecan pie dessert pot. yes, i know how to pack it away, friends. but i now have no trouble maintaining my perfect weight, so this will have no bearing on it. it was so gooooooood at the time. mind you, a couple hundred days without junk, your body doesn't really like to process junk as much. that's all i'll say about that. let's just say i won't be having another junk day soon. :)

but the day started really nicely with oodles of hugs from my son. and okay, no husbands or daughters said the "happy birthday" greeting this morning, but i was greeted at work with cards, flowers, wine and girlie goodies. niiiice. i shall have soft hands and sparkly lips for a good while. it could happen, i could attract more pampering in my life. . . if i wanted to. . .

and this was after waking up an hour late. i just felt like feeling good, and bed felt good. so i stay an hour late. no big whoop. what's amazing about this? well, being an hour late makes you have to park in parking lot number two. nosiree, i got to the roundabout 1/4 mile away, and thought "i'd love to have a parking spot waiting for me in the first lot." then i just saw it.

yup. it was there. WOW! this is really amazing. i know it doesn't sound that amazing, but it really is impossible to get a spot if you're more than 30 minutes late. an hour? no way! yay me!

and i even got well-wishes from my hawaiian friends. this reminds me of the biggest thing of all that's changed since i started seriously trying to apply LOA. instead of missing them in a "why oh why did i ever move away, why can't i be there, why can't they be here, sob sob sob" kind of way (they don't have that section in the card store, i checked), i now miss them in a "what a great time we had, isn't it great we still keep in touch, won't it be great to see them again" kind of way (although that, too, is not in the card store).

oh but wait. i work with 5 guys. very technie face-in-computer dudes. very nice, but not at all touchy-feely. well these guys got me flowers! how cool is that?

basically, i was showered with affection, love and good feelings today. nice one.

the code i have been working on, and trying to attract the end to, is DONE as of today. that was nice. wow is it nice. it turns out, in order to be competent, all i had to do was realize i *am*.

this marks a real drastic change from past birthdays. i won't give energy to it by talking about it but let's just say in the past i have attracted severe lack on this day. i love that i stopped doing that! let's all stop attracting birthday lack! i think we can all do this one day. yes?

and now i must tell my son i'd like to attract more sleeping-type behaviour from him.
and, of course, me :)
