Happy Birthday to Me!
And I'm not broadcasting which one.
So far, the gift haul has been quite nice, and suitably geogeeky: Two field guides to Yellowstone's geysers, the definitive guidebook to Yellowstone itself (Yellowstone Treasures by Janet Chapple), and a big honkin' thick book on the geology of Yellowstone and the Tetons. And we're not even planning a trip there--at least not this year... Plus the soundtrack of the 1950s-vintage Broadway production of Peter Pan (most thematic song: "I Won't Grow Up"). A shopping trip is planned for later in the day. Heh.
We have our usual weekend errands to run and chores to do (the house doesn't clean itself, although I've been trying to train it to do so for years), but this evening we are planning a nice dinner at Jilly's Cafe, and tomorrow we are going to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Oh yeah. And bonne anniversaire to the French Republic as well!
Update: Alas! Jilly's was BOOKED SOLID, so we won't be dining there this evening. Quel surprise...it's a French restaurant, and it IS Bastille Day, after all. So instead, we're rollin' with the Irish and dining fine at the Celtic Knot.

Here it is, Saturday morning, and Sid the Cat is highly amused that I'm doing a BIG OL' FLAPPY BATHROBE BIRTHDAY DANCE for YOU!
And we ALL know you're twenty-three!
Enjoy the day!
Awww... Thanks!
You know, Shelly the diva cat really hates it when I sing and dance around in her vicinity. It must be that she has no taste for REAL talent. Heh.
Sid just gives me--THAT look--you know, the one that says "Geez, the things I do for a litterbox, water, and a bowl o' Iams.
As for Jilly's, you should have walked in and said "We're with the German Army..." History tells us there'll be immediate seating.
