Me:Expiration Date:March 7th 2011

I got spoiled.
Get it?
Sorry, that was terrible.

Yummy Coldstone cupcake.

Oh, wait. What's that hiding behind it?

My parents put this in my lap (wrapped) and said "Guess".

Do you know that these things way about a million pounds?

What did I end up guessing? Oh yeah a baby. "One baby?"

"Okay, 3 babies!"

Brownies.

Credit is due to a man at work for making them for me :)

He also made a cake.

Story time.

I was with one of the guys I work with and he gets a call on his phone.
"Go clean the lunch room," he says.
"I already did"
"I dunno maybe someone spilled something."
"Grrrr," that's my angry voice.

I begin walking up there and then I realized what was going on, especially after I saw someone's head poke out the window to look down at the store.

"Happy Birthday!" the total of 4 people shouted.

My face went beet red.

There was the cake :)

My friends also brought flowers to work for me, more like chased me down.

Audrey Hepburn photo, Turtles (I was craving them a couple weeks ago) and a 'Tangled' coloring book.

My friends took me out for dinner last night where we spent 4 hours trying to figure out a brain teaser. and then finally I spent an hour with the boy.

One of the best birthdays I've ever had.

I got to be with everyone I care about, how can that not be wonderful?

Here's the mixer in all it's glory.

I just made a cake with it.

Ultimate Girl Crush: Audrey Hepburn

Have I ever mentioned my love for Audrey Hepburn?
It began four years ago.
A friend had mentioned I should get an Audrey Hepburn type dress for prom.
I had heard of this Audrey Hepburn person before but had never put a face to the name.
I received "Breakfast at Tiffany's" for my eighteenth birthday and fell in love.
Next it was "Roman Holiday", which is my favourite Audrey Hepburn film.
After that "Wait Until Dark", "Funny Face" and "The Nun's Story" followed. I still have yet to fully watch "My Fair Lady".
And I've been dying to see "Sabrina".
So while I haven't seen all of her films or read every book about her, I'm still a huge fan.
She is one classy lady.
Ever since I started learning about her, I've tried to adapt her behavior to my life...if that makes sense.
She's a major influence in my life, if you haven't caught that already.

"I think sex is overrated. I don't have sex appeal and I know it. As a matter of fact, I think I'm rather funny looking. My teeth are funny, for one thing, and I have none of the attributes usually required for a movie queen, including the shapeliness."

"I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine."

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

“I never think of myself as an icon. What is in other people's minds is not in my mind. I just do my thing.”

"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.”

"I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.”
