Happy Birthday to Me!


I've been celebrating my birthday for the past month. But this past weekend it finally came and went, with a lot of fanfare. I celebrated it Friday and Monday. But that's alright by me.

I shouldn't pick favorites, but I have to admit that my favorite presents were the ginormous maps - one of the US and one of the World - given to me by my mother. (When my dad saw them in his room, waiting to be wrapped, he said, "who are those for?" with an air of disgust). I cannot wait to get those babies up on the wall.

Also of note is the 1970s collection of music from Time Life, meaning about 10 cds of great hits. Way to go Evan and Emily and Leslie!

I had to include this picture because, frankly, it's the best birthday cake my mom has ever done for me. She's a pro at the designing and decorating of birthday cakes - and this one, man, she won! It says, "Happy Birthday, Lana! our professional bookworm"

Umm.. I'm not too sure what that post before mine is all about, but I at least will say wish you a happy B-day. It seems like you're always away for your birthday and we never get to celebrate it together.. you're either in Ireland or at school ;)
I wish you all the best. I miss you, I love you.. I will talk with you later, Lana.
