Birthday Surprise
I really thought my birthday was unknown, so you can imagine my *delighted* surprise when I received several birthday wishes from friends over the course of the day...

3 well wishing emails
3 birthday ecards
2 phone calls
5 well wishing IM messages

Quite a nice little bundle of happy returns, if you ask me :)

BIG freaking edit!!!
Adding a huge surprise party to the list is quite appropriate! I have never been the receipient of a surprise party, so that was a huge bit of fun. I just wish that I had a picture of everybody on the stairs like that...but I do have a picture of Ball's kickass Tea Party Cake. Thank you everybody!
