Me: The Highlights Edition

* Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I really appreciate the thoughtful gesture. I also appreciated the copy of "Secretary" on Blue-Ray that I received from Megan, the virtual gift on my profile from blondebitz, the Riley/Willow drabble, Not So Nice Guy , by velvetwhip, and the angsty Willow,Tara drabble, Not Time Yet , by angelskuuipo.

* It rained all day on my birthday, but that didn't stop us from celebrating. I enjoyed Rumchata shots with many of my favorite relatives (even my mom had 1/2 a shot. I was so proud.) I also sort-of enjoyed the shot of brandy that my cousin Daniel made me drink. My husband, friend Angie, brother-in-law, uncle, and cousin-in-law joined in on that one as well. I got some very nice gifts including wine, gourmet dark chocolates, shower gel, foaming hand soap, 4th of July kitchen towels, a nice toiletry bag, Slytherin knee-high socks, books, a card game, a few magnets from Italy, and a beautiful necklace that Angie found in Kuwait.

* Since that all happened a week ago, the major excitements for this week have included pre-ordering my tickets to see Jurassic World on the Ultrascreen, nearly finishing Twin Peaks, and moving onto season 4 of Gilmore Girls. I'm also reading an interesting thriller called The Good Girl by Mary Kubica.

What's new in all of your worlds?
