A Birthday To Remember?

as much as i'd like to say that i don't really care about celebrating my birthday, i really do.
so that being said, this birthday was not ideal, and kind of sucky, but not entirely without its highlights.

i spent the day in a meeting that i didn't get to finish
then went to a funeral that took much longer than i thought it would (not the actual ceremony...). 
and i had already cancelled my birthday dinner, because of my recent tummy troubles.
so, it was not quite a birthday celebration that exudes joy. 

on the upside, while we were waiting for the funeral, i got to sit and chat about orphans, which is a topic i love. 
i got some mars bars as a gift.
someone gave me a lot of pink things, including a mini, pink soccer ball.
i had someone sing me happy birthday in dutch.
i ate "tacos" for dinner.
and my roommate baked a delicious dessert that i can actually eat!

i'm waiting for next week when i get to celebrate out with my team.
