My pile of "e-mails owed" was already growing ridiculously long before my birthday arrived AND I got lost in the haze of yet another deadly cold. Now I am just resigned to the fact that I am a terrible friend, daughter, granddaughter and cousin and am temporarily assuaging my guilt with this all-encompassing blog entry until I can start writing people back....
To describe this week as a 'haze' is putting it lightly. A slightly stuffy nose quickly escalated into a raging head cold that made it difficult for me to do anything besides push through work and then come home and pass out. Until yesterday, my apartment was buried under a mountain of dishes and tissues...
Somehow, I managed to perk up long enough to enjoy my birthday, though. Yes - yes, 24 is here, despite my best attempts to suppress it. Do you know the most repeated comment I've gotten is that my age is the same number as the TV show '24'? You're all freaks, you know? ^_~
Anyway, Dawn brought me flowers in the morning and my co-workers surprised me with a birthday cake in the afternoon. My phone beeped periodically throughout the day with birthday wishes from friends from around the world and several gifts/cards trickled in as well. All in all, it was a a very nice day...though I will never cease to be amazed at how one absent birthday wish can put a slight damper on all the rest...
Alex Monroe pointed out that living in Japan allowed me to celebrate my birthday for an extra half a day...however, Dawn and I are stretching it all the way to Sunday. Tomorrow we are off to 'celebrate' at a spa in Nagoya. Since I've arrived in Japan I've had many weekends off and several vacations. But tomorrow I intend to do what I haven't done during any of those: bid farewell to my perpetual cold, relax my aching muscles and rest my weary...weary self. That way, I can get started on writing some long overdue e-mails!

お誕生日おめでとうございます！
Sadly, because your rss feed doesn't work, I had to find out about this from Dawn's blog :P Anyway, best wishes, and have a great time in Nagoya!!
I forgot. Did we find out if we could marry the onsen? Or at least get a permanent membership card? Some kind of special gaijin rate, perhaps?
You're on a roll, darling. New Year's 2006 in Athens, New Year's 2007 in Tokyo, 24th b-day in Nagoya... you don't have another special day coming up that we can celebrate, do you? We should do your 1/2 b-day in Kyoto or something.
Happy belated birthday my darling~* I'd probably have remembered if I actually saw you on LIVEJOURNAL more often :P I never remember to check your blog ;_;
Seriously, just copy and paste these entries over to LJ and the world will be happier! Pleeeaaaasssseeeee? Don't make me send the cingular blob after you....
How are you progressing on that stack of e-mails? Hmmm...?
