Birthday
Michael called me at 1:00 am and sang "Happy Birthday" a la Marilyn Monroe. His sleepy-voice was very sexy and it was lovely to hear from him.
I got up after just a few hours sleep and took Stephanie to work so I could have the truck. From there I ran errands, arranging for the windscreen to be replaced since the extreme cold two weeks ago turned a small nick into a 12" crack. I came home, did some laundry, read emails and talked to friends who wished me a happy birthday, and then went to the spa for 2 hours. It was lovely! I had the body wrap with a vichy shower afterwards and then a massage. The shower was orgasmic, of course. If I ever build my own house I will have a separate bathhouse, and it will have one of these showers along with a japanese bath like the one pictured above. Of course I should have to be a wealthy woman, and that will be years from now, if ever. Ah well. I am a bit of a dreamer, even though I rarely let anyone see that side of me.
JL sent me a gorgeous basket of roses. He's such a hopeless romantic, and he's starting to wear my resistance down. I took photos but I'll have to post them when I get back from my trip. I never did figure out how to use the USB to get images off the camera, and I don't feel like finalizing the disk in order to upload a single photo.
Stas gave me a teddy bear for my birthday. It is very huggable. I was thinking about how long we have been friends, and just how fortunate I am to have him in my life. He was there for me when David and I split up, and when Stephanie and I split up, and he's been my rock through the past few months of therapy. I am so looking forward to seeing him in May and giving him the hardest Rockfriend-style hug he's ever gotten.
Stephanie wanted to pay for the spa like she did last year, but I refused. It is far too high a cost, and she's trying to be frugal in preparation for her trip to Europe in April. We went out to dinner instead and I had a delicious ribeye steak. *drool* We had a good conversation about the past year. We're both a bit sad, but we're determined to salvage our friendship.
Rob brought me a card with an IOU for a massage, and gave me one of his delicious hugs. Lori gave me a bottle of wine and some home-made tomato and fresh-mozarella salad. I talked to Jordan, and Tamar and Tess each called and sang the "KellyKellyKelly" song from Cheers, as has become traditional. Sean wished me a happy birthday as well. He's already getting his man's voice at 12. He's such a sweet, sensitive soul. I hope he survives his teen years with that spirit intact.
The sense of clarity is lingering, much to my pleased surprise. I felt centered and content all day. It was a good birthday.
