Birthday

Well, September 16th was my 29th birthday and it kind of sucked (worked from 7am-11pm)... but September 17th was a great day, so I'm going to call that my birthday this year :) I had a briefing in the morning that went very well (very relieved), so I basically took the afternoon off, went to the gym and just did menial tasks. My roommate had made plans for us to go out to the Turkish Restaurant on base for dinner (my "birthday party"). They actually have pretty good pizza and it is just a completely different atmosphere from the dining facility. They even have fake palm trees outside with Christmas lights and a kind of cheezy fountain out on the patio. My aviation co-workers are all old and they wanted to eat early, so we went to eat and my roommate and her friends showed up later with a birthday cake and even some presents. She got me two huge Toblerone chocolate bars and two CDs from the PX (hmm.. I wonder why she got two of everything). I don't typically like sheet cake, but the one she got was actually really good. I'll probably have some of the leftovers with lunch today. My aviation boss thankfully remembered to bring a camera, because I just never remember to bring mine.
