O birthday, my birthday!

On Friday, Daniel brought me breakfast in bed, my favorite bus driver took me to school, the hallelujah-glory-sun was shining its face off, some lovely friends came over to party with us, and there was this flippin' amazing layer cake. You know, happy birthday to me!

I love birthdays quite a bit, but sometimes cool stuff happens on regular days too! So much has been making me happy that I think that is worth a mention as well:

My mom bought us rimmed baking sheets and the most gigantic bag of coffee! And I realized that the difference between childhood and adulthood is the degree of excitement upon receiving those things.

Also, I bought a crackling wick candle yesterday which is SO UNSETTLING and SO FUN.

I still get to steadily whittle down that cake in the fridge. Dan's mom made it for us and, what can I say? CAKE.
