orangerful | I love my friends (Reply)

Thank you to everyone for their warm birthday wishes. You were somehow able to alter the weather here in Maryland! It has been in the mid-sixties here all day. We've had the porch door open and its been lovely. Unfortunately, storm clouds are brewing outside, but that won't stop me from getting my sushi dinner tonight!

lostacanthus, I do love Llamas! It's my Sims alma mater mascot lol! Thank you so much. Now...what to name him...

jimithingy got me a present for each of my senses! First, a big gift bowl of Fireworks popcorn! 4 jars full plus popcorn salt and white cheddar topping. Mm MMMM! I got the second hardcover volume of Runaways and the second book of Firefly essays Serenity Found. Right now, we're listening to the season 1 soundtrack of Battlestar Galactica. Earlier I was playing Sims 2 with the Celebration Stuff add-on. Now my Sims can have awesome birthday parties! And I got the You Can Draw Star Wars book so I can practice my scribbling! Plus, Season 5 of Scrubs, which I think is one of the few seasons I haven't seen all the way through (I think that was the year House and Veronica Mars were both on Tuesday nights so Scrubs got bumped.)

I got a card from

jimithingy's parents saying they pre-ordered my gift and it should be here mid-March (BSG S3!!!!!). I've already cleared a spot on the shelf.

The cake and ice cream has been made. I chose Devil's Food Cake with Chocolate Buttercream icing and homemade cookies and cream ice cream. So good. My parents and brother are coming over this evening for the sushi dinner and dessert.

BIG HUGS TO EVERYONE!!!!!!! Thank you for the little comments and wall posts and such saying 'Happy Birthday'. They all made me smile. I love that I have so many great friends all over the world.

Now, back to enjoying myself. Gotta practice a few Rock Band licks before my parents come over tonight. ;-)
