Two of my co-workers found out it was my birthday... because Mom mentioned it when she stopped to see a friend where I work... and I had told them that I had mentioned to my son a flower pot I wanted and was too cheap to buy for myself. They ran right out and got one, yellow accents with tulips. I love it. Later that evening my son and his SO came in, each carrying the flower pots in different designs, one with a pot of pink tulips and another with an Easter lily. My son also carried a cake baked by my second granddaughter. He was singing happy birthday and dancing as he came in the door. He's not a bit shy.
It was a good day and my co-workers told everyone that it was my birthday. We ate cake while we worked and I sent two pieces home with a wonderful older couple that I've become very fond of. He's 93 and she's 87, I think. Love them.
I don't want to steal photos from another site so I'm including links to photos of my flower pots. Mine has some white stripes. http://litwc.com/2007/01/31/this-is-one-large-coffee-cup
Look at the first, second, and last photos.
I was watching a movie the other night, Defending Your Life, about the life review we each will face when we die. In one scene, the main character was told that he could have been much nicer to one person while he was on earth. Who? Yourself, was the answer. That made me think about how we sometimes think we don't deserve one thing or another. I think that's how I am about gifts, thinking I'm undeserving. I'm not. I should have bought the flower pots for myself when I first saw them.
Every time I include links I have trouble with the font. Hope it doesn't bother you. I try to fix it then I just live with it.

Oh I am so late, but a belated happy birthday. I don't like having a fuss made on my BD either -- but I do love getting flowers!!
Thanks, Violetsky. I hope you get flowers on your birthday.
