Birthday, birthday… ^_^ August 18, 2007

So.  Let’s see.  I did my traditional thing (haha… a tradition since last year!) of reading Ecclesiastes the night before.  Then, when I went down this morning, Hyarion threw “confetti” at me.  And… um… my siblings sang to me at random and various moments.  And there was great rejoicing in the land.

Then Mom and Dad went downtown to the Farmer’s Market and I got on AIM and talked to Andrew W, mostly in French.  As I don’t know French, it was rather amusing.  (Um… instant online translation sites are awesome.  *evil grin*)  He wished me a “bon anniversaire” after I humbly pointed out to him that it was, in fact, my birthday.  Then I celebrated by hanging laundry, and going to the store with Mom.  ^_^ 

After lunch I opened my presents!!!  Okay.  Let’s see.  From Hyarion, I got numorous colored pictures, a toy (which seems to have belonged to me a long time ago… but yeah… that was then…), and a very funky rock with a sea shell fossil in it.  Chrissie gave me a hair clip and she and Hyarion bought me Episode IV of Star Wars!  :)  Atara got me a purse.  (her:  “Was that the right one?”  me:  “Um….”  We exchanged it.  The second one is very nice.)  Mom got me The Who’s CD Who’s next.  Dad rolled his eyes.  I saw that Bargain was on it and was happy.  Dad got me a digital camera.  O_O  So maybe tomorrow I’ll figure out how to upload pictures. 

And the other news… we called Samwise (aka my twin) to sing Happy Birthday to him, and then I got on the phone to say hi.  Guess what he did? 

His family sang Happy Birthday to me!!!!

And then a few minutes ago he got on AIM to say happy birthday again before he went to bed.  ^_^  Twins are nice.  So are birthdays.  :)
