Update to the birthday concerns. Today, my boss got me a big, delicious chocolate cake and the people working sang “Happy Birthday” to me. And two co-workers left me cards and one of them gave me a my little pony because I always tell her that I want a pony named “Butterscotch”. Although two people on my team didn’t even tell me happy birthday, and that doesn’t cost a thing. I have to admit, I am ticked off at them.
Outside of work, I had a very mixed birthday celebration. My mom fell down in the shower and it took me 40 minutes to help her out of it. I really didn’t want to call the fire department, because she kept yelling not to and wouldn’t put on any clothes. But I got her out and that made me happy.
With that bad news out of the way, onto the good news. I was very nervous that my birthday party would be lame. How wrong I was! I had a great time with lots of people. And, the best part, my friends chipped in and bought me a new camcorder. Mine broke several months ago. This one is a JVC Everio. The best part about that? No more tapes to deal with, it’s all done on SD cards. To top it off, my friends each recorded a birthday message for me and when they gave me the gift, I got to see their warm wishes.
I still can’t believe it. I have a new camcorder. I can go back to work on movies. I was wanting to tackle a full feature length film but then my other camera broke. The genre? Horror/comedy of course! I have the camera, a stand and plenty of willing actors. The only thing I think will be an issue is the sound quality. People will have to yell to get good sound. You can only fix sound in my low grade editing programs so much. I think I will get going on a story treatment for my friends to recruit some as willing victims, er actors next week.
I also got $110 in gift cards to Lane Bryant. Cash from each of the grandparents. With that money I got a new printer/scanner and the new Kathy Griffin book. One friend also bought me a gift before he knew about the chip-in; he got me Simpsons Scene-it and Simpsons Uno. Yeah, I like the Simpsons.
Definitely the best part of the year that I am going to have.
