Started today rather like any other day. Woke up, washed my newly shorn hair, got dressed, and watched The Price is Right. Got up a little earlier than normal today because I knew (hoped) that I would have at least one visitor before the days was over.
I was right and I didn't have to wait too long. Dad didn't give me much than he normally does (his most recent copy of National Geographic and the Smithsonian magazines. Blergh) I mean I like looking at NG when they have something Egyptian in it but other than that I couldn't care less otherwise.
Anyway like always he came over with a sock of stuff for me 2 magazines, 3 ugly watches (WTF!) and something else that was hidden inside the pages of one of the mags. Last time he was here and let me take some random pictures of the dog and cat.
So today within the pages of one of the mags Dad brought over were pictures of my lovelies. In fact they'd been the favorites of the pics I took of them both. Other than the $20 he gave me, I consider those 8x10s a couple of the best birthday presents he's ever given me.
Then after a little while on the back porch Mom snuck in and got the chocolate birthday cake she's hidden from me before that point in time. We all ate cake, heh. Mom had considered getting a white cake since we likes that but then she remembered I like chocolate and she relented to make me happy.
So all in all not much in the way of "physical" B-Day presents. The stuff I've ordered from Amazon hasn't come in yet, nor the lip gloss (Lip Venom V). We did.however, buy the paint and supplies to re-do my room soon. Bought a quilty comforter that'll match the room and sheets when the room's finished
And then a little later my Aunt Brenda came over with a card and cake. Hah! It's not every birthday a person get two cake let alone one! What's really funny is that it was the exact cake Mom had wanted to get me in the first place. That's right, white cake! And not just any white cake, the one mom had almost picked up for me!
All in all this birthday was a lot better than the last.
