Well, I have been really getting into the swing of this birthday thing. Today, I arrived at work to find this:
I was stunned! Hydrangeas (turned out it was one massive hydrangea), peach roses, white sweet peas, yellow calla lilies and orange ranunculus. It was a beautiful bouquet, wrapped up in brown paper and ribbon, with the cutest little clothespin attaching a note.
It was from work! I couldn't help but feel more tender toward the job. They really know how to get me. Fresh flowers, man. I brought it home so I could enjoy it in the apartment. I had to rearrange the bouquet though, because it was so massive it refused to fit in my vase.
The end result: Our current apartment could pass for a florist's.
Separately, I booked a little pick-me-up treat for myself this afternoon at a spa near work. It was a spa treatment called "For Heaven's Sake," which was a cute little pun because the treatment consisted of a Japanese sake bath soak and a sake rice scrub, followed by an hour long massage. I quite enjoyed it.

| The soaking tub. It was a really deep tub - very tricky to get out when you're all covered up in slippery suds! |

| Mystery keg next to the tub. Maybe it was filled with sake?? |

| BLISS. |
Clearly, like Thanksgiving, birthdays should come around more than once a year.

I meant to comment at the time, but I loved all your birthday posts (especially the flowers!) and I loved knowing you were having such a good day so far away :). Hope December is just as flower-filled!
