I'm 22 for a moment...*

Well, not any more, as of today. But I love the song, and I wanted to use it today, since it IS my birthday. Here's a recap of the birthday fun so far:

-Breakfast cooked by Jeremiah this morning, after he sneakily stole a key that was NOT my house key and had to sit patiently on my deck waiting for me to wake up.

-28 Facebook wall posts and one message, wishing me a happy birthday - from friends scattered across the States. Thanks, guys, for the virtual hugs. :)

-A rousing praise chapel with Steven Moore, with hugs and birthday wishes from Maher Saab and Wayne Barnard (I have campus connections!).

-A serenade from one of my student workers, Anna, who isn't in the office on Fridays but called me anyway to sing to me. :)

-Decadent chocolate cake from McKay's, back in the break room with 20 or so of my favourite faculty and co-staff members. They serenaded me too!

-A crazily busy afternoon that I am declaring OVER. Lectureship madness begins all too soon...but I am escaping and going home, and perhaps going shopping. And then a date tonight...and a glorious "lie-in" tomorrow. And a Michael Card concert on Sunday. Mmmmm. Life is good.
