May. 24th, 2012 11:11 pmFirst of all, thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. The Happy Birthday wishes, the Riley/Willow fic, the Spike/Willow artwork, and V-Gift wishes absolutely brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart.
Now onto the day's recap.
I headed to work as per usual and my co-worker presented me with a bar of extra dark chocolate and she gave me a choice to pick one out of three necklaces that her dad makes. I will definitely post a picture of my choice before the end of the weekend, but I need some natural light to accomplish that. :)
At lunch, my co-worker convinced me to go get ice cream at McDonald's. She asked the cashier if I could get a free cone since it was birthday, but they said no. Instead, I ordered a snack-size McFlurry. The cashier apparently thought I had said small so she charged me more and didn't realize it until my co-worker ordered a snack-size too. The manager came out and refunded me the difference and then said I could keep the small.
After work, I went to a cooking class. We learned how to make three different salad dressings - Blue Cheese, Italian Vinaigrette, and French. We also learned how to make a few different sandwich spreads, namely chicken salad, herb cream cheese spread, and garbanzo bean spread. We ate our samples on home-made sourdough and five-seed bread with various combinations of yummy vegetables (avocado, tomato, marinated carrots, bean sprouts, leaf lettuce.) Krista (the instructor) topped off the evening by setting a plate of brownies in front of me with a candle stuck inside one. The whole class sang Happy Birthday. It was too cool. :)
When I got home, Nick gave me my present. We've been watching this anime called Sgt. Frog on Netflix that I'm totally into. So for my present I got framed postage stamps that feature my two favorite characters (Sgt. Frog and Tamama).
Not the best picture, but this is the stamp of Tamama. :)
My birthday celebrations will actually be continuing for the next two days as I took Friday off to treat myself to a hot-stone massage (I got the coupon off of Groupon) and then Nick and I are getting sushi for dinner. Then, on Saturday, I'm going out with my family to the Mineshaft , which is Wisconsin's largest restaurant and game room and it's right in my hometown. I already know what I'm getting for dinner that night. Stuffed Shrimp, all the way! Nom nom nom.
