Birthday in a Bag

Breakfast in bed is good... BUT a Birthday in a Bag in bed is even better.
What, pray tale, is a Birthday in a Bag you ask?

Well, it is the perfect combination of awesome mixed with 
heart-shaped paper packages, a little sewing know-how, 
a ridiculously cool vintage stamp set,  your favorite candy, 
small hand written notes, and one incredibly thoughtful friend named Angie.

I sat in bed opening each package carefully with candy spilling out 
kind of like my own personal little piƱata... just minus baseball bat.
Each heart contained a note of things she loved about me accompanied by some chocolaty goodness.

I have to admit that I was a little bit surprised 
that my ability to go days without showering and 
the fact that I can whip out an inappropriate joke at completely the wrong time 
didn't make the list, but whatev.

Needless to say, I think everybody needs a little 
Top Ten Reason of why they are loved.
It was definitely good for the soul...
and the heart...
and the ego...
and the stomach. 




Only downfall is you eventually run out of gifts to open. And that makes me sad...


Very sad. Not to be confused with bloated 
(because I swear I've seen a face like this on a Pepto Bismol commercial)
 Just sad... really sad.  
The ideal Birthday in a Bag would have endless amounts of gifts and reasons why you are loved.  

Perhaps next year...  (take note Angie)

Wow.... as your "new" friend..... this Angie has really set the bar HIGH. However I know now reading through your blog that our friendship has a lot of potential seeing as how I also LOVE to go days and days without showering, half decorate my home and laugh at inappropriate jokes. And the fish article.... I don't even have words, except I Laughed REALLY loud. Well done. Well done! Thanks again for the PERFECT night with great food and great company!
