This is more of a personal post about a great birthday today. Facebook let my friends know so I had a lot of birthday greetings. Which I like. My husband made it great too. I don’t have high expectations because I have a birthday after all of the partying has past and I feel like I want things to be mellow. Warning: some sappiness ahead. Here’s what Stephen did for me:

  • First he made me an incredible breakfast including cinnamon rolls. He served it on a birthday plate. He brought sushi and a chicken salad last night. He made dinner tonight, and Saturday is dinner out at one of our favorite places (I’m getting crab), plus a Jazz game.
  • I got the earrings that I wanted. It’s a sign of love that he ordered them online with PayPal.
  • When I got home the Wall-e remote controlled robot greeted me with a card that said Eva (our name for Eve). I followed him to a vase with a dozen gorgeous red roses. We saw Wall-e on our honeymoon and so it’s romantic to me. With all the eating of the past weeks I’m pondering the warnings about leading a sedentary life and eating to much.

We’ve been married for about 6 months and I have never been treated better. I’ve probably written about how I had jerks for bosses for a few years. I think I irrationally took out my angst on men. Then something switched and I have bosses who are wonderful - better than I deserve. Then I married a man and it’s the same.

There’s nothing like having someone to back me up in life. My son got a stepdad who has qualities I lack and that add a lot to our life. Plus I married into in-laws and a family that rocks.

I also got to go to Politis PR firm today for an interview about Twitter. It should air tomorrow on KSL. I love talking about Twitter. Yesterday SEOMoz (which I respect a lot) linked to a post I wrote about finding reputable SEOs. So all in all, a great day - thanks to everyone.

    So in our conversation today you couldn’t even find a way to drop the hint? HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    I know I am a day late, but to my credit I did talk to you earlier this week about your birthday. How many of your friends remembered your birthday without facebook? Ü
