Cause I made out like one.

Mom sent a very cool new blue tye-dye crinkle skirt, and a dress in my favorite batik pattern - purple with turquoise stars and moons. She also hid a little something in the card.

[livejournal.com profile] benabik and [livejournal.com profile] btoblake have a box of pre-bought stuff which would make good gifts for various friends. Thus I got a sculpture of a red dragon hatching.

I was able to get that gift due to deciding at the last minute to drive up to Rochester this weekend. The inspiration for this was Colleen, who was very fortuitously in the area. Visiting a friend just in time for my birthday was great.

I also got LARP for my birthday. I don't really get to game much anymore, so this was exceedingly cool. Even better was being handed an NPC character sheet with elder Protean, and Potence, and Fortitude, and Celerity, and Valeran. Sadly, the character didn't get to kill anything, but not for lack of trying. It was very vulnerable to Dread Gaze, and spent a bunch of time up a tree in Mist Form, hiding.

I then arrived back home in time for a party at work today - the annual staff reception. So I got cake, and there was a harpist.

And getting to my apartment after the party, I checked my mail. It's here! [livejournal.com profile] pelelandra sent me a copy of Terry Pratchett's new book "Nation" from England. And it arrived just in time. The British Edition not only has a better cover, but this one is signed: "To Robin, Happy Birthday!"

W00t!

I've had a very good birthday.

Friday Mom gave me the book I had asked for (Making Money by Terry Pratchett) and something I didn't ask for. It turns out that a couple of years ago she bought some of Bryce Muir's prints at a fair, and forgot about them. She framed two of them for me. They are both of my hometown, one of the little park with the cannon and a view of the Town Landing Place and the other of smelt shacks on the river. How cool!

Yesterday I went to Halcyon with M and made a bag. A very cool bag with a castle on it. I learned you can felt with an electric sander. Not sure how someone figured this out, "Hey, let's add electric tools to this old art form that uses hot soapy water!" but it works very well. Since I had a 10% discount that day, I bought a copy of The Happy Hooker which I'd been wanting for a while. What? It's about crochet.

A co-worker makes candy as a hobby, and broght me in peanut butter cups. Yummy!

And I mailed five packages. You couldn't see me behind the stack of boxes. Whew! Now I just need to finish Lissa's leter.

AND I HAVE POWER!!!

Yay!!!!!!!!!

Got home last night at midnight and the electricity was back. I guess whatever little line on the ground in my backyard is, it isn't important.

Life is good, though throwing out much of my fridge and freezer sucked. I have lots of pickles, so the fridge isn't empty, just lonely.
