ETA: Actually, I did!ellynn_ithilwen made me this lovely virtual bouquet: http://ellynn-ithilwen.livejournal.com/28753.html
I also got some beautiful e-cards, FB birthday greetings from many of my friends in my old Barony, and a nice long phone call from my sister.
Since I had to work for a little while on my actual birthday, we used the time I was off to put up our Fourth of July decorations. Then on Saturday, we celebrated all day long. First we went to a local antique and vintage shop. I picked up 5 back issues of "Piecework" magazine, and then we had lunch out. After that we drove to OKC, and went to Barnes & Noble, where the DH allowed me to have a small shopping spree. I picked up "Somerset Studio" and "Polymer Café" magazines, and I got this beautiful glass pen set.
Then I had another little spree at Michael's and found several different little craft notions, including some more polymer clay.
We went to Target after that—my plan was to see if I could find a pair of jeans (no such luck; I guess only skinny people shop there). While I was doing that, the DH went to electronics and surprised me by picking up a blu-ray player! I asked him why, and he told me that he wants to get me the new LotR disc set with the three extra hours of footage—but he can't do that until we get the blu-ray! However, the LotR set will have to be delayed, as it is apparently more expensive than the player he bought.
Finally we went to Olive Garden for supper, and I had the new Chicken Carbonara Ravioli—yum! And I brought about half of it home with me.
We did not go to church Sunday—the church sent out an e-mail letting everyone know the A/C is broken. With 90-plus Fahrenheit temps and NO WINDOWS THAT WOULD OPEN in the Sanctuary, it would have made sitting through a service difficult to say the least. So I spent Sunday catching up on MEFA liaison duties and doing some writing, and watching TTT and RotK in between.
