Happy Birthday To Me!

You read that correct, Happy Birthday to ME!!!  And while I expect nothing from my boss or co-workers, I had to admit I was really shocked when NG came in today carrying a humongous box and then screamed "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUBY!!!!!!"  I didn't know if I was more surprised that I didn't pee my pants, or the fact that NG got me a present.  And not just a present, a freaking awesome present.  The girl I secretly complain about apparently thinks the world of me.  And honestly, who doesn't?!?  (wait, don't answer that!)

Check out my goodies below:

 

Wine - check.

2 types of cheese - check, check!

Triscuits - uhhh YUP

French bread - YUP!

All put together in a make shift "Easter basket" because the real basket broke and that's all she had in her car - LOVE IT!

It took tremendous will power to not eat everything (and more importantly, lots of strength not to drink the wine).  I never expect anything when at work, and this kind gesture definitely melted a little ice that's been sitting around for a while.  I keep saying it over and over again, but it's totally true.  It really is the little things in life that can make someone feel special.

Granted, presents always make me feel special and I'll take any that I get!  Even if it's not my birthday (it was last week).... but hey, NG doesn't need to know that, right?  ;)
