Last week was my birthday! I am so old now, it's terrible.
The weather was nice enough on my birthday that we actually set up the canopy and celebrated outside -- it rained both the day before and the day after.

| This year, the husband bought me a princess cake, which has a base layer of sponge cake, pastry cream, a dome of whipped cream, covered in marzipan. It was a deliciously indulgent cake, for sure. |

| Showing the layers |
 |
| I got some presents :) |
 |
| This is the point where I asked how many pictures were going to be taken of me, ha! |
 |
| This is a book about calculus |
 |
| And it has stills from Shrek in it! I don't know what's going on here, but I'm interested to read the book and find out xD |
 |
| My Little Pony comic -- this particular one is actually really good |
 |
| And this is a poster of an image put out by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, from their "Visions of the Future" set. The Grand Tour in this instance refers to the path that NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 probes took, passing Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune -- and using each planet's gravitational pull to help slingshot themselves to the next destination. The New Horizons probe also took this route, slingshotting itself all the way to Pluto. Cool stuff. |
