I had an excellent birthday!

Ed woke me up with birthday cake, since I almost always complain that I never get cake on my birthday. To shut me up, he brought me my favourite kind of cake first thing in the morning and it was super tasty. We lounged around a bit, then went out to run various TOP SECRET ERRANDS. Back at the apartment, I took pictures of snails having sex (seriously, check out my Flickr page) and giggled like a little kid, sitting on the sidewalk to poke at the snails and take pictures and be generally very excited at the slimy things. What? I just turned 8, leave me alone.

Yesterday evening we had dinner out with many lovely people, then came back to our place for cake and Salad Fingers. It was a wonderful birthday – thanks, everyone! I got birthday cards and many well wishes and I practically basted myself in love. Plus? There were SNAILS. Real ones, and shiny ones. Ed is far too tolerant of his wife’s rather unusual quirks, and bought me a Swarovski crystal SNAIL for my birthday. She is truly awesome and sitting on my desk at home. Yay! SNAILS!

My birthday wasn’t all cake and mollusks, though. I have some very exciting and scary news that I don’t want to share just yet – the details will be worked out tonight, and then I will unleash the startling new development all over your faces. It is exciting. I am vibrating in my chair just thinking about it. No, I am not pregnant. It is also not a puppy, although that may be coming sooner than I had thought. Stay tuned!

Yay!
