Happy Birthday to Me

An interesting day today. People at work were awesome. They decorated my office, which was a lot of fun. The B and I went out to dinner. We were going to head to Ned Devine's but it was crowded, and they were charging a cover and we just didn't want to deal with that. So I was home early.

But what was interesting was the people I heard from, and didn't hear from. I got an e-mail from my friend L in Greensboro. I haven't seen him in a few years (Springsteen show in 2003??). He sent me a picture of his daughter - she's 20 months old. I don't know anything more about that. He hasn't given me her name or anything other information. It was nice to hear from him, though, since we haven't corresponded in a few years (but I did send him a birthday greeting on his day).

Then I got a call from an old friend M. We were great friends for many years, until about 2 years ago when some shit happened at bowling. I've seen him once since then. And it was a bit strained. But he called to wish me a happy birthday and we talked for about 15-20 minutes. And it was nice. I miss his friendship.

I didn't hear from Atlanta boy, which really didn't surprise me. He used to always call me, but lately he makes it a point to not call. And that's fine. I think things are getting pretty serious with his girlfriend, so that means he won't talk to me. And that's his loss.

But I didn't hear from MB#1. He knew I was out of town this morning but was coming back later today. That really surprised me, especially since he was commenting on Friday about my birthday. I wonder if he'll contact me tomorrow at all.

Happy birthday to me.
