We're celebrating my birthday early this year! Didn't do too much other than hang out at home -- we had Thai food for dinner, and a chocolate mousse cake from Costco for dessert.

Celebrating inside this year, since the weather is only just okay

Mostly this year I got books, but that's fine with me! :) This is a Roger Zelazny collected stories, volume one (out of something like eight?).

Very cute Kirby cups!

This is a wool bag for whenever we get back to SCA events. The squirrel is embroidered, and there are oak leaf and acorn motifs as well.

This is a Sanrio manga, "Fluffy, Fluffy Cinnamoroll". Very light reading, but nice if you just want to chill for 20 minutes.

This book, "Crooks Like Us", is interesting. The Australian author went through a local archive of forensic photographs from the 1920s and collected them and some commentary / extra information in this book. It's really fascinating to read about why people were arrested and look at how they posed, and what they were wearing. I haven't had time to go through this in detail yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

My last present came in a HUGE box!

 |
Once I wrestled it out, it was a Lego Space Shuttle Discovery! This thing is BIG, with more total pieces than either my Saturn V rocket or my lunar lander. The satellite there is actually a model of the Hubble telescope, so a pretty cool add-on. :) I'm going to have to set aside some serious time (and space) to it.
