November 11

November 11 is my birthday. In the morning, a bouquet of flowers arrived for me at my office. I know I told Geoff not to waste money on flowers this year, I was still very happy to get them. As the flower was from a florist Geoff normally used, I didn't bother to open to card. I emailed him and thanked him for the flowers. And the reply I got was - errrr, it's not from me.......


Oppps.....I opened the card and it was from my friend Amy (sorry Amy, the flowers were beautiful!).

Now that I sort of embarrassed him, Geoff had to think of something to get me. Flowers would be lame now. When I picked him up from work, he had a box with him. Surprise no. 1, he never got me a cake.

Then after dinner, he went into the kitchen to get the cake out. He took a while and I was thinking what was he up to? Can't take that long to put the cake on a platter. Here's surprise no. 2. Being his practical self, Geoff went into a cake shop and looked at the cakes. Since we are always very weight conscious, he decided that buying a whole cake would not be good for our waistline. So, instead, he got some little cheese cakes and a bunch of candles. 3 cakes and 9 candles for my 39th birthday! Got to give it to him for creativity!
