Happy Birthday Holly - The Big Birthday Activity Book: (Personalized Children's Activity Book)

Product Information

The previous CEO, after he’d poisoned the bank’s culture, dealt with the ensuing fiscal crisis by eliminating everyone’s Christmas bonus except his own. To raise morale, he set up a list-serv asking everyone for an alternative to his budget crisis. One wag noted that, if he were to forego his own bonus, he could give everyone else their bonus, because his was as large as everyone else’s combined. This included a mathematical proof; statisticians are like that. The boss didn’t act on the suggestion, but the statistician wasn’t fired, because that would have reduced moral further. The laughter this evoked raised moral briefly in the same way that a joke does in Russia.

But Holly is different. She already means so much to me. I mean, I think I might already love her. I want more too, but I don't want to lose her. What if I ruin it? What if she realizes that she can do better? Because she definitely can do way better than me. I don't know what to do. One thousand dollars and how long it'll take for either of you to finally make a move," Tracy shrugs. Before I can argue more, she drops some bills on the table and stands up. With a soft smile, she reaches her hand out to me. I pray to God that this isn't one of my dreams again. Because I swear, I'm going to be pissed when I wake up. I grab her hand instinctively and follow her out. Holly Willoughby couldn't have looked happier as she gave fans a glimpse inside her lavish home display organised for her birthday. The This Morning host is marking turning 42 on Friday (February 10) after spending her last day on the ITV daytime show until later this month on Thursday. As I hand it to her our hands brush and my heart goes into overdrive. She's holding it so carefully and delicately. She brings it to her nose and says, "It's beautiful, Gail. How did you know it's my favorite?"I pretend to be writing reports, but that's the last thing on my mind. I keep twirling my pen between my thumb and forefinger while thinking about my lunch with Holly and the conversation I overheard. I laugh and say, "Come on Lunchbox. They get pale when they see me walk in. When they give me the food, they make a point to say that there's no cross-contamination. I bet they didn't know what that meant till you explained it to them. You say I have a death glare; I'm starting to think I have nothing on you."

Strictly star dubs Gemma Atkinson and Gorka Marquez 'hottest couple' after sweet message about second pregnancy Damn it, Price. I know how to do my makeup. You're going to make me look like Dolly Parton," I say frustrated and nervous as I grab the make-up from Price. I don't think I've ever been this nervous in my life.I turn to her and softly say, "I wanted tonight to be special. It's your birthday. You deserve to have a wonderful time this evening." God, she looks so happy. It's just a single fire and ice rose, and that simple gesture seems to mean everything to her. Jeez, I got to remember to keep that flower shop on speed dial.

I can't believe she said it. She spelled it out for me. God, I don't think I've ever felt this relieved in my entire life. I walk over to where she's at and whisper, "Look at me, Gail."She's changing me little by little, and I'm okay with it. I think I'm changing for the better. Since we met, she's been nothing less than my best friend. She looks after me when I get hurt. She listens to me when I have a particularly rough day. I think she's becoming my safe place. She's there without me even having to ask. I don't know if I can function without her anymore.

I know that I'm flushed and that I don't look right. But to Price's credit, she didn't ask one question and the rest of the day was spent in silence. Still refusing to meet her gaze I mumble the only thing I can. The truth. I mumble, "I, umm, well, I accidentally overheard your conversation with Rachel the other day."Gail blushes more and says, "Something about pinning to something and kissing the daylights out of you with barely a hello." A few weeks later I went to the same place again to get Holly her favorite and when the workers saw me, they got terribly nervous and one poor girl got pale. It turns out that a couple of days after I got out of the hospital Holly went over there and read them the riot act. Something about being irresponsible in preparing food and promising that if it happens again, nobody will find their remains for centuries. So now our food takes twice as long to prepare since they make mine from scratch. Relax Gail. Operation Lunchbox is well underway," Tracy grins. From the look in her eyes, she likes what she sees. Spice Girl Emma Bunton wrote: "Happy Birthday gorgeous girl." Kate Ferdinand told her: "Happy birthday darling! Hope you have the best day." ITV chef Gino D'Acampo wrote: "Happy Birthday."
