Today is my birthday. I had way more emails waiting for me after work than typical. It was more than twice as many. I liked reading all of the birthday wishes from Facebook. Some are comedian friends, some are schoolmates. It includes my college roommate, who first sent me the invite to join Facebook. Already sent out a message stating I was thankful for all of the wishes. Then I got some more this evening. I watched 'Big Bang Theory' with my date, and we had dinner including some cake. I got a Kesha CD.
When I was called with birthday wishes by my date's friend I spoke of the 'Hy-Vee birthday party line'. It was something that I recalled from being a youngster. There were many who would call in birthday wishes there. Those who grew up in Iowa are familiar with Hy-Vee as it's the dominant grocery store there. Since they were the sponsor I am thinking they had prizes available, like a random drawing for a cake. At work I did get a card signed by my immediate boss and the senior leader, and there was no name on the envelope. I decided to stick it in the same envelope with service anniversary cards and the sympathy card given after my grandma's funeral.
I decided to get a paper to read about the famous people having birthdays today. I knew about a few of them from previous years. This included John Heard, from various movies including 'Big' and 'Home Alone'. Another would be Jenna Fischer, from the TV show 'The Office'. I did see part of the syndicated rerun of 'Big Bang Theory'. It was one where Sheldon asked his friends to fill out a questionnaire as he wanted more friends. Then he tried to make a friend in a bookshop, but it was a little girl and he was pulled away by Leonard. The first-run show had this in the storyline as well, as he was going to search online about 'getting 12-year-old girls excited' and he was stopped by Leonard again. It was due to being a guest speaker with Howard and Leonard at a school, trying to get more women interested in science. It was funnier when they made their women available, who decided to skip work and go to Disneyland. It was hard to take them seriously as Amy, Bernadette, and Penny were all in costumes like Snow White and Cinderella. Also funny was Raj having a 'Text message date' in the library of all places.
