A very merry un-birthday to me!

Yesterday, Saturday, we celebrated my early birthday (as I will be heading Utard-way next week to visit/care for my Oma and that will be coinciding w/ my big three-five)
**just got invited to Burt's for my b'day!!! perhaps I won't be sitting alone in the dark after all!?!?**
anyhoo, yesterday....
Had a lovely breakfast, complete w/ facon bacon *Yumm*
Went to see Hellboy II *AWESOME*
and received some loverly gifties from the fam including:
A "slightly sinister" crafting/knitting book



a GIANT bottlecap shaped tin bar sign (soon to be painted with my logo and used as a sign for my booth!) proof that you really CAN find anything on the ebays.

a couple a DVD's; ONCE and SWEENEY TODD

A new red "swade" slipcover for my beat up old wingchair

and a badass customized pair of extra high top Chuck Taylors...(black, with red leopard print tongues, red laces and b/w skully insides!!!) that LGK designed and had custom-manufactured for me here
KEWL!!!

and then we had SLURPEES!!!!

What more could a gal ask for for her birthday I asks you!?!?!

anyhoo...that's the update for the weekend. I'll be offline for the next week. Headed to PDX bright and early Monday morning, flying to SLC and I'll be back NEXT monday. Oma's house is actually still "hardwired" - so absolutely NO internet connection - not even modern telephones...she's got these crazy old rotary phones from the 40's...can't even hook up an answering machine to those bad boys...they're Old School!
Thanks for the happy/healing thoughts kids...see you next week.
