it's my party!

I am 29. It's not every day that a girl turns 29. Apparently this signals to the family that it's now time to start with the over the hill cards.

*snort* I am immune to their mind games, but I loved the presents. Three Sandman volumes among them. Gotta love having a geeky brother.

I played with D, the 4 year old (just had a birthday, he likes salad now that he's 4) who informed me that the pea plants were going to eat us. I was alarmed, as you may imagine; then again, the next minute I turned into a pig and had to walk like this, so obviously there were larger concerns.

I had brunch with pals and dinner with other pals and drinks out with still a third set and everyone who missed all of that (it is a long holiday weekend) is coming out to a baseball game Thursday.

I made summer rolls and ate chocolate and drank lime based drinks and there were sweet potato fries and witty banter and lots of laughter and I looked pretty.

For a dwarfed by the perpetually unfinished dissertation, nearly forgotten, snuck up on me, gather people at the last minute birthday, it was awfully grand.

And that's before we even get to the LJ birthday wishes, gift manips and walls, gifted months of extra icons and flyby wishes for a happy birthday. Y'all rock. Thank you.

Cake all around. No food fights.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled fandom posts.

Yay for CAKE! Nothing like a 4 year old to help put your life in proper perspective. :o) Glad you had a happy day, youngster! Best wishes for many more. :o)

Okay, who stole my cake?

Ooh, I have more. Do you like white chocolate?

Thank you for my card, have I said that? You are awesome for remembering. Thank you.
