bironic: Neil Perry gazing out a window at night (birthday cupcake)

It are my birthday. I failed to make a vid or write a story or post vacation pictures to mark the occasion, but (1) vacation pictures are coming, and (2) today turned out pretty great. I:

- Acquired some delicious corn and tomatoes at the farmers market that I hadn't been able to get to very much this year
- Talked to my sister on the phone
- Saw half of a mediocre production of Twelfth Night out on the Boston Common
- Scored a free scoop of ice cream from Ben and Jerry's
- Had a super yummy meal at a tapas restaurant nearby that I hadn't tried yet, with classy waitstaff who gave me a couple of dishes on the house
- Received two actual physical birthday cards
- Opened a box from my mom that contained things like socks (our family is like Dumbledore) and a plastic tumblr [ETA: ha, just noticed the typo] tumbler with cartoon monsters on it
- Sat on the back deck with the scent of someone's woodsmoke in the air and read a few more chapters of A Dance with Dragons

\o/

Thursday and Friday were nutty with jet lag disorientation. Plus I returned home to find a host of small changes like a new bike lane in the street and our office admin's dramatic new haircut and supermarket employees protesting the ouster of their beloved CEO. Most surreal of all, I pitched polyamory to my mom as a solution to the teen drama she is apparently now living.

\o/?

And now, to bed.

Thanks! And today we have scattered storms, so it's nice to just stay in and listen to the rain and catch up on screen-related things.

And a Ronon coming out of an Easter egg. What more could a fan ask for. :)

Happy birthday to you! (Belated, but the wishes are no less heartfelt.)

I giggle at the notion of a plastic tumblr. Also the notion of pitching polyamory to one's mom. Bwee.

Can't believe I mistyped that. :)

Happy Sunday to you, my friend.

Happy birthday!

This is not an emoticon I use often: O.o You are a braver woman than I.

That is about the same face my sister and I make when we talk about it. I told my mom she doesn't have to be like all the girls in the YA novels torn between two men -- why make a choice?! take both! -- but there are Reasons not to, I guess. From where I'm sitting it's mostly a job of figuring out where the line should be drawn beyond which I do not want her to share details or seek advice...
