Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeee!
Apr. 27th, 2008 11:56 amSure, it was yesterday. I'm basking in the afterglow.
So first there was Lady snuggling (the best way to start any day, birth or otherwise). Then I went to PUs for combination flea marketing, laundromat and "Gala Birthday Celebration". And the flea market was at the Levittown Library so there were regular flea markety things and a book sale for the library, that was obviously scheduled as a birthday gift to me of cheap books. And I got The Muppet Christmas Carol on VHS, which on the one hand means I won't be buying the DVD, so no screencap of Rizzo kissing Gonzo on the nose (boo), but on the other [missing stump of a] hand it was only 50 cents (yay!).
On the way home from the land of books, Shal called, and we talked on the phone for three hours. Which seems like a lot, but I think we talked that long or longer for my bday calls at college.
Then it was time for the "Gala Birthday Celebration" (and I keep calling it that because Mom actually wrote it in on the calendar as "Nicole's Gala Birthday Celebration"), so I got a yummy dinner of pasta with veggies and then chocolate cake with sorta chocolate chips except they all sank to the bottom even worse than when I made it. We eventually determined that it might be because it's not meant to be a chocolate chip cake-- it's just Alton Brown's chocolate cake recipe that I decided to add chips to because chips are yummy.
Anyway, I also got giftings including a Swiss Army Knife that I cut myself on while fiddling with, and I'd say I shouldn't be allowed to handle sharp objects, but I sorta have to for work, and I managed to cut myself on a crust of bread, so sharpness seems to be pretty much moot. Plus a Shal original masterpeice T-Shirt that says "I ♥ Zombies" on it, the soundtrack to The Wiz, and cards and lovely birthday wishes over the internets.
Finally, I got home just in time for the craptastic SciFi movie that no Saturday is complete without.
Overall, I'd say a high quality birthday.
