What came in the box?
That would be a Tiffany Necklace
My husband is so sweet and bought me a necklace from Tiffany & Co. for my birthday. And that was on top of a wonderful dinner at Canlis, and a weekend getaway. I married an awesome guy!

Awesome boss
My boss is so sweet!
She believes flowers are a vital part of any girls birthday, so she ordered me flowers for my birthday. Of course she said they were from everyone, but everyone asked who they were from, so no one else was in on it.
A dozen yellow roses
A comical story from my birthday...
From what I hear, there were three different people who thought about buying me cake for my birthday at work. Since I am the person who normally does that stuff, they wanted to make sure I got a cake! So Kate is the one who eventually ended up in charge of the cake, after they realized that 3 people were all going to buy cake. We had a conversation about cakes a few weeks ago, and I told her my favorite is lemon chiffon (especially if it comes from TanTop Bakery in Orcutt, CA). Kate decided she would not settle for getting me anything less than lemon chiffon. She called the first bakery the night before my birthday, and the told her they need a minimum of 48 hours notice, which she didn't have. So she continued her search and called the next one, who told her, "our baker has gone home for the day, but I will leave her a note to see if she can accommodate the request". When Kate checked in with them on my birthday they said "we didn't have the ingredients for lemon chiffon, so she make strawberry chiffon" . Therefore Kate continued her search because she wasn't sure if I liked Strawberry, therefore wanted to try to get Lemon. She calls another bakery and is told, we don't have plain lemon chiffon, but we have a coconut-lemon chiffon. This was close enough, so I had a coconut-lemon chiffon cake for my birthday along with cookies & cupcakes.
My coworkers are awesome! They made my birthday grand!

Happy Birthday to Me
guess what was in here
Today is my birthday, and I got this cute little blue box this morning. I finished showering and getting dressed to find I had this on top of my vanity where I do my makeup. So it is up to you to guess what came in this box ;-)
