You say it's my Birthday?

It's true, today is the 38th anniversary of my birth. I'm feeling both old and spry at once.

Friday, gifts started arriving, making me wonder how I could reconcile getting an Xbox360 and finishing the NaNoWriMo. As a result, I'm a little bit behind. I hope to break 40K before I retire for the evening.

Saturday I worked all day, then came home and baked a pineapple cake for the party, while [livejournal.com profile] uterdic set up my Xbox for me. He's bringing me some sort of adapter that will allow the Xbox and the Wii to be plugged in at the same time. That's gonna be sweet.

Then we had the party. Many of my favorite people were there, while some were sadly unable to attend. It's a bummer that several of my best friends don't live within comfortable driving distance. Frown. But the party was enormous fun, though for some reason we never got around to doing any Mad Libs even though I have a new book of them. It was decided that I would indeed, be having some people over for New Years Eve. I got some awesome gifts including Se7en, Shock Corridor, Cooking Mama for the Wii, and Sir Graves Ghastly on DVD this last item was lovingly processed by [livejournal.com profile] pak_man78 just for me because he knows how much I love Sir Graves. H also got me the Underdog box set which I have been wanting forever.

Yesterday was dinner at Mark's house (my brother). It was the second time I'd seen him in 9 years, and the first time I'd been to his house. [livejournal.com profile] nate101000 was kind enough to drive us. I know, right. That was pretty nice. My bro's house is very cool, they have a fireplace. There is also a brick wall in their kitchen. I really like my bro's wife, and they seem to be a good match for each other. That makes me really happy to see.

Today we went grocery shopping and bought fixin's for a semi traditional Thanksgiving. We're having a casserole of ground chicken and stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and bread from the breadmaker, and cranberry sauce. Although I like to make my own cranberry sauce, they didn't have any fresh cranberries at the store. Bummer.

Not sure what we're doing tonight.
Might order food, might not.
H doesn't have to work again until Friday. Lucky guy!

Happy Birthday! I hope you don't have to work today. I'm really sorry I missed your party. I can't believe you never broke out the Madlibs!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-11-24 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!!

I took the day off, in fact.

Odd about the Mad Libs, I know. Kim couldn't make it either, and she's usually the one who mentions breaking them out.

Happy Birthday!

Um, of the birthday not of things like presents or the flu or your lunch yesterday...

Why thank you!

I wore the headpiece you made me at my party.
There's only so many occasions you can wear one and not look crazy.

Happy actual birthday - I know I was early yesterday but I knew this would happen: I get mid-type and Anthony wants the computer.

My birthday was quite nice, I must say.
As was dinner with my bro.

Thanks, the writing is going well so far. I was able to catch up.

Jumping on the belated birthday bandwagon! How's that for alliteration?

Hope your day was happy!
