My birthday was the 5th of February. I still haven’t really celebrated yet. I have been too busy studying. I did have a decent day though. First thing in the morning, while I was feeding Eleanor her breakfast an awesome birthday package arrived from my friend Lauren.

The bacon mints actually were not as bad as I thought they would be. They mostly taste minty with a slight bacony aftertaste (don’t worry they’re vegetarian). And later that day when I checked her blog I found this. A whole blog post just for me. What a good friend she is! She totally made my day! Thank you so much Lauren!

My mom came by early (she would usually come over in the afternoon after Eleanor took a nap) and brought me lunch. Then I studied, as usual, all afternoon.

But it was a nice day to be studying because it was raining out.

I love the rain (when I’m indoors) and it doesn’t make me want to be out doing something besides studying, so it kept me focused.

I decided to at least skip class that evening and listen to the lecture online later. I did study most of the evening anyway, but at least I didn’t have to go out in the rain and I did get to watch the Office with Josh.  Overall it was a fine birthday nothing special. I still haven’t celebrated my birthday yet with friends or family, or even really with Josh yet, but I did get some phone calls and emails so that was nice. And maybe now that I’m done studying someone will plan something.
