Today is Emily’s birthday.

When I met Emily, seven and 1/2 years ago, she was going through a difficult time, and when November arrived she didn’t feel like celebrating her birthday. I wanted to cheer her up, so I went to the closest supermarket and bought her a small, round chocolate cake and surprised her with it. For several years since then I’ve gone to the same supermarket and bought the same kind of cake, but this year there weren’t any available. So instead I got her a larger chocolate cake and a veggie pizza, which is one of her favorite pizzas.

I also bought her a newer laptop. She’s been using an older, smaller laptop and between her blogging and her journals the older laptop is getting too slow, so I bought her a refurbished Dell Insprion 1501 (with a one year warranty) from the Dell Outlet (which has some great deals).

So this birthday, even though she didn’t get her small chocolate cake, she’s much happier than seven years ago.

Happy Birthday, Emily!
