My birthday started nice and slow yesterday, with coffee and a few cards and packages from friends. The Intern surprised me with a very complicated printed schedule of mystery phone calls… the phone rang every 15 minutes with friend after wishing me a very happy birthday. Thanks to all my mystery callers, all 15 of you! The intern and I shared a nice little breakfast, and he kept casually insisting that I shower and get dressed…even though we had no plans to keep or schedule to follow. I thought we were going to the modern art museum, and maybe have a nice lunch or dinner somewhere, but what a fool I was. I’m very glad I followed the Intern’s instructions to get dressed (as he was oddly cleaning the apartment… on a Saturday morning….on my birthday…) because soon after I got dressed and announced that I was ready to go to the museum, the doorbell rang, and as i peeked out the door, I was shocked to see our whole gang of friends waiting to come in!
Friends and my lovely Intern got together with the most wonderful plan for a surprise birthday picnic brunch! Everyone came in with bags and treats, and got to work making grapefruit mimosas, bloody marys, and all sorts of other delicious brunch foods.





















We're about to start Season 3 soon! Is that what happens? Oh my gosh!
