Happy Birthday to......ME!

Yep, that's right. Yesterday was birthday day here at Chez Vik.
And boy what a day it was!
See, it all started when I woke up about 9:30. (First weekend off in 9 weeks!!!)
It seemed to me that Mom was making an awful lot of food.
I mean, she usually makes a lot, but this was weird.
Then my Patrick shows up, and asks if I want to go for a walk.
We walked a bit, but everytime I asked to go back home, he'd change the topic, or take me somewhere else.
Now, I'm not a stupid girl, and figured that something had to be going on.
I tickled as much information out of Patrick as I could, but I was still lost.

When we got home and came downstairs "Surprise!" There was everyone!
My friends (er...three of them...)my family, and a pinata!
And cake!
(Pictures of all on my flickr page...)
Then pressies!
Normally, I really hate being the center of attention, and I always feel a bit guilty about recieving pressies, because so many people don't. And so, I am quite grateful for the many wonderful things I did receive.
From Mom and Dad, a yellow duffel bag. If you remember, mine was eviscerated. Inside there were some earings, socks, and a set of jammies.
From the sister was a KnitWit doodle loom and a homemade bag to carry all of my knitting around in.
My friend J.R. brought a pair of Minnie Mouse ears, and a brightly coloured lollipop!
And from Emma, two burnt C.D.'s featuring Dane Cook, my favorite comedian.
OH! And Patrick. Who was a bit of a butt. He decided that I needed a real digital camera, and an orange one at that. He's a bit of a turd, as he spent quite a bit of money on it. But I'll admit, I love it, and it will get a lot of use.
Best of all, it's good motivation to get some knitting done, so I can take some great FO pictures!
And tonight, he cooked me a wonderful dinner, which was soooo tastey!

But now, I'm off to hit the books, I've got a lot of math to do.
I'll be around.
