I just wanted to thank everyone for their birthday wishes yesterday. It meant a lot to me.
As it is, the day wa punctuated by these memorable moments:
1) Will decided he wanted to glue things together, so he got two pieces of paper, laid them on my mom's carpet, then took the cap off a bottle of elmer's glue and poured half the bottle out, trying to get enough on there to stick. I was cleaning up glue puddles for at least thirty minutes, trying to get it all up before it dried (and I didn't entirely succeed, damn it. I thought I had, but part of the rug's stiff this morning. Damn.).
2) I made an applesauce spice cake with cream cheese frosting from one of my new cookbooks, and it's extremely tasty.
3) David took me out to Olive Garden to eat. We went there for our honeymoon, so it's sort of become a tradition.
4) My mom gave me $20, so I went and splurged and got Robin McKinley's new book, Sunshine in hardcover. I wasn't going to, but I wanted it SO MUCH, and I didn't think I could possibly find a way to afford it... so there we go. Impractical of me at best, but what can you do?
We were going to go see a movie, but my back and ankle were giving me hell, so instead we went and rented LXG (I weep for the movie it could have been) and I started putting together my Confrontation army that my husband bought for me for my birthday. He really would like me to play, and it looks sort of like fun, so... what the heck, right? After all, who am I to look a birthday army in the mouth?
Here's an example fig from my army, mostly female Kelt barbarians... Of course, mine won't look anything like that good after I paint it, but you have to love those staff painters for Rackham, don't you?
