Took me six months to finally get them to let me launch that website. Took Google six hours to spider it. Now I'm #1, #2, #3, #3, #4, #5, #7, and #14 for my top 8 keyphrases (mostly different word orders of the same thing).
This morning I opened the first package I got in the mail for my birthday and it was from my mom, and now my butt says "Wonder Woman" on it. And now I'm two dozen years old (that's a lot! And a good round number too!) and the boss is away on vacation so he won't bother me. And, I unplugged my phone because it was broken so nobody will bother me.
Could today be better?
Wait, there's more!
My wonderful boyfriend spent three hours in the kitchen last night preparing for the dinner he's going to make me tonight, and won't tell me what it is.
AND
I have two mystery packages that arrived in the mail, one from Williams Sonoma and one from Barnes & Noble. I don't know who they're from but I know they're for me!
So I get to open those tonight after the dinner my boyfriend's making me. (I don't know what it is but I know it involved a special trip to the butcher's, and a lot of rummaging on the shelf with the secret recipes.)
I haven't had this good a birthday since I was little!
Way to go on the SERPS, Wonderwoman! Your boyfriend sounds like a keeper, what a great birthday.

Will we get a picture of your Wonder Woman underpants anytime soon?
Hope you enjoy your day... mine looks as though it will be pretty typical, although I may hit the county fair this evening.
Have a top day!

You have an very interesting wish list [zobar.dsl.westnet.com]. Although I am confused - You say you want a private jet but you don't have room for a pony. If you get the jet can I cadge a ride next time you are off somewhere exotic. Perhaps you could keep the pony in the stables of the house in the country? :)
Also what's 'a papasan chair'?

Here something I fixed you [superherostuff.com] for your trip tonight.
Bon appétit!

My mommy got them for me from hot topic-- I think she ordered them online. :D
>Will we get a picture of your Wonder Woman underpants anytime soon?
A picture? Hmm...
[hottopic.com...] should do it...
(the product page is here:
[hottopic.com...]
)
You didn't ask for a picture of me in them, which is just as well because I doubt they look as good on me as they do on the plastic mannequin in the picture. These things are better in one's mind, generally.
The reason I asked for them for my birthday was because there's a famous (within the family) photo of me at about age 1 in a full set of Wonder Woman Underoos-- the outfit that looked like her actual costume. They don't seem to make that in, ahem, adult sizes, so that's too bad, but what I have will certainly do.
I haven't been excited about my birthday in a while but it seemed to coincide with lots of other things, so being happy seemed like a good option. I was going to have a party and invite all my friends over for laser tag, but my friends are scattered all over the state, and many are in other states and other countries, so... I don't think they'd show up. Too bad...
Maybe for my quarter-century I can have a big bash somewhere elaborate. In the meantime, this will do. It strikes me that the end of August is a good time for a big bash like that... I'll let y'all know. :D
Happy birthday edicius!
Everybody has told me that 24 is an awesome age to be, so we'll have to find out, won't we?
The county fair is on my agenda for this weekend-- I'm driving 150 miles to go to *my* county fair. (The Great Schaghticoke Fair, in its 185th year-- the county fair for the impossible-to-spell Rennselaer County, my homeland. Apparently it's the best county fair in the area, according to a politician who used to canvass them all.) Also, a Highland Games in Altamont... So, beer, kilts, cabers, beer, pipes, cows, chickens, sheep, cotton candy, beer, and a weekend with my folks. Sound good? Sounds good to me!
Also, my mom says they have another present for me that was too big to mail. Doesn't *that* sound good? I'm pretty excited.
They haven't bothered with my birthday in years but I decided to make a webpage about my birthday, actually ask for a range of items (from very cheap to ridiculously expensive, with a lot in the "reasonable" range), and since my birthday list validated to XHTML 1.0 Strict I think I got good karma. :D
They did, actually, when I was ten, and I loved her. Her name was Sugar.
But at the moment I don't have a backyard. I actually put a notice in my XHTML-Strict birthday list that I didn't want a pony because I didn't have the space, but I'd gladly take a pony raincheck.
They *did* assure me it would fit in my boyfriend's car for the drive home. He drives a 2003 Toyota Prius, which is roomier than you'd think but still not too big.
Have a good one Dragon Lady - Looks like you need no help.
**Happy Bithday to you too Edicius**
24 is a great year - having had it already I can speak from experience :);):o
:) Happy b-day!
If you get 2 of those chairs can I have one plz :D
S
Enjoy 24, it is all down hill from there.
(I just turned 25 and am lying about that, things are better than ever, save the receding hairline (c: )
Can't be there, so this is as close as I can get to your papasan [mypapasan.com]
PS: dbl dozen is a great year ... have fun with it!
Well, it's all the more incentive to set myself some goals for the coming year. It makes more sense to do that now than New Year's; my boyfriend's birthday is New Year's Eve so I'll be busy (if he's working so hard for my birthday this year, I suppose I'd better do something for his. Ideas, anyone? What do you get for a geek when you can't afford the toys he wants and he's already raised the bar so high on cooking?)...
So, I'm going to write out a list of goals and a timetable in the beautiful new blank book a co-worker gave me this morning, and see if I do any of them. Sound good?
I'm not sure I can fit a papasan chair into my apartment but if I get one, I'm sure going to try to. I have no idea what else they could've gotten me that would be too big to mail and small enough to fit in the car, though.
I should bring it in to work so I can nap more comfortably while trying to learn PHP.
Double-dozen had darn well better be a great year. I have big plans for it! :D I always liked even numbers better, anyway. 23 was just an awkward number to be. 24 sounds better. If my hairline recedes at 25 I think I'll have bigger problems...
I think I'm going to make it a point to make a big fuss about my birthday from now on because it's been so successful this year. :D
Oh, I missed a couple of posts!
>something I fixed you
LOL. I have a metal Superman lunchbox. I send my boyfriend to work with it every day, with the lunch I fixed. I also write magnetic poems on the inside lid. It's a blast, and gives me something to do to wake up.
>what's a 'papasan chair'
The BEST THING EVER for napping. :D When I was little a friend of my mom's had one and we called it a "bird's nest" chair, and we would sleep in it with the basket fully horizontal so it was just a circle. It's such a cool thing. I only recently learned what it was really called, and i decided I wanted one more than anything.
And if I do get a private jet (I figured if I had a jet, I could then worry about where to keep it. Bridges when we come to them, y'know?) then you all can come with me on trips. I'll let you know...
And yes, if I get a house in the country then I'll host a house party and everyone can come stay with me. I don't know what country it'd be in, though. :D
Yay, we're just too elite for the rest of the poor schmoes in the serps. :D Here's hoping we can both stay there!
