Birthday Happenings

First off, in Hobbit tradition, I gave presents to other people on my birthday. This gave me the best sense of happiness, actually. Seeing the look on my darling [livejournal.com profile] bunnyohare's face when she got her long-wished-for Rabbit Slippers (pink!) was awesome. Plus, the plush monkey for my sister arrived in the mail today.

We also went out to dinner at the Tuscan Tavern in Warren (a town with a very rabbity name!), and then went to buy me an outfit for the Bunny's brother's wedding (which is in less than a week). I've gained forty (40!) pounds since I started on my thyroid medication a year ago, so of course none of my wedding-appropriate clothes fit me anymore.

Tonight she is making me a black forest cake, since yesterday we were way too full from dinner to even contemplate cake.

It was a wonderful birthday, and thanks to everyone for their birthday wishes.

A very happy belated birthday wish to you!

And, mmm, black forest gateau. *presses nose against momitor*

Happy belated birthday! Sounds like the related yumminess keeps on coming, too!

That's a fabulous tradition, by the way.

Thank you. And what a lovely, lively icon. I enjoyed your HP review, BTW.

Oh man! I can't believe I forgot your birthday!! I'm so sorry. I keep forgetting to check that birthday list and I only ran by LJ yesterday to post, didn't check my flist more than just the first page.

Happy birthday, sweetheart. I do hope it was a glorious one and that Bunny spoiled you rotten. Gobble up that cake and I don't know about you but I think milk goes best with such treats.

*hugs you hard*

Thank you for the birthday wishes, no need to apologize! I think I forgot yours, too, until the Bunny reminded me! *hugs*

Happy Belated Birthday, hon! *smooches*

Thank you. I hope you get some of your Birthday/Yule/Christmas/Hanukkah wishes, no matter how seemingly far-fetched!

Happy belated birthday. I come bearing Tom screencaps :)

Oh, very nice! That other capper really let us down on the Tom front! Goodness. I think I had a dream with Tom in it, last night. He was either an acrobat or a surgeon. Hmmmm.

I keep trying to make icons, but every time I do I find myself painting make up onto him. O.o

There's something wrong with my brain.

Actually he probably looks great in a bit of make-up. Go for it! :-)

Like I don't already spend way too much time playing with PSP? ;)

Black Forest cake! That is so awesome. Happy happy birthday to you, and what a lovely hobbit tradition!

Did you find a nice outfit for the wedding? Post pictures!

I shall certainly post some pictures next week. Thank you so much for the birthday wishes.
