SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

*beams like a spotlamp*

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

I just used the birthday/Christmas money I got from Aunty Eve to buy a ticket to see Wicked on Sat March 1st :D

*passes earplugs to all*

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

*cough*

OK, I'm calm now :D

Did I mention my Wicked CD wot the girls at work got me arrived on Thursday? And I've been playing it at full volume in the car? Even been taking my lunch down to the car park and listening to it during my lunch break :D Memo: Must find that mp3 player bibliogirl sent me.....

Heeee! I'm going to see Wicked! *bounces about* That'll tide me over in squee until May at least *giggles*

Now, if you'll excuse me, there's this amazon voucher that needs my full, undivided attention. *bounces off*

My desk at work isn't usually terribly exciting. Four shelves groaning with A4 level arch files above it (I can reach the third shelf if I stand on tippy toes, any higher than that and I wail for TooTall's assistance :D), an overflowing series of trays to the left, which I try and keep tidy but it's a losing battle. The phone and answering machine are wedged between my keyboard, PC box and monitor - thank goodness we have the new flatscreen monitors in our place at last! A shelf just above head height to the right, under which live the ever growing row of A4 lever arch files that contain the latest financial returns from the schools. In between my desk and PartyGirl's lives the NEG mountain, which sits unloved and unwanted in no man's land when we're both busy with other things.

I describe all this because a) I haven't bought my camera yet so can't do before and after pics and b) today it looked rather different. Oh yes. Today when I walked in I couldn't actually SEE most of the desk or the shelves because everywhere was festooned with blue and white streamers and colourful A4 sheets of paper bearing the legend "40" and "Happy Birthday [real name] 40" and "O no 40" and other witticisms.

"Subtlety" is not a word in my colleagues' vocabularies.

It looked pretty darn good though :)

And at lunchtime, there was pressie giving!! Ooh I'm a lucky girl! I got Stargate Atlantis S2,a gorgeous soft black fuzzy scarf and an IOU for the OBC CD Soundtrack of Wicked (Amazon are, apparently, being retarded and slow delivering it!) from the girls in the office, and the girls downstairs bought me sweeties to munch while watching aforementioned DVDs and £15 of vouchers to spend *plots* And everyone in the office, downstairs office and FSS had signed my card :D Awwww!!! *dances*

I was a happy mousey :)

As birthdays go, this one didn't suck *beams*

I have no words, guys, I'm just so thrilled! halcyon_shift has Revealed All! I have an LJ community! I can see who the Shadowy Ticket Committee are! There was plotting! AND I GOT AN AMAZON VOUCHER FOR A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT!!!! And icons an' fic an' pics an'...an' SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

*bounces about as only a very happy Mitchy can*

Thank you everyone. Personal messages will be going out shortly but in the meantime, have a big ol' Mitchy-shaped huggle, each and every one of you.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

*HUGGLES*

Awwwww you guys! You made me cry! The flowers are beautiful and eeee! I gots a balloon!! And I'm keeping the card forever. *sniffles*

*huggles you all*

Thank you so much!!

No, wait, that's not adequate.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

*bounces all around the room*

I'm going to see Chess! And Idina Menzel! WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!!

*hugs halcyon_shift and the anonymous benefactors* I'm assured that come my birthday, I'll be able to send you all personal hugglesqueezes. Just know, that right now, I'm bouncing around like a loon, squeaking "I'M GOING TO SEE CHESS AND IDINA MENZEL!! WHEEEEE!!"

Thank you :)

*dances like a crazy Mitchy*
