One of my former employers used to always buy me flowers on my birthday.  I loved them, especially carnations.  And even though I've always wanted flowers on my birthday, since I left his employ, I haven't gotten any since!  It makes me laugh.  Serves me right for leaving a good boss.
So today, Happy Birthday to Me.  I'm gonna buy my own flowers.  :D
And then curl up with a blanket, a glass of White Zin, and a good murder mystery.  Life is good!
