przedAnother December 17th is nearly over, which means my birthday is nearly gone for another year.
It was a quiet night in this year, but the Sweetie proved again why he is the Sweetie and got me an awesome gift. Some of you may remember that last year he sprung Boromir's sword on me, which is still probably the best gift I've ever gotten. However, this year he came pretty darn close to matching it...
He sent away for the nifty army jacket I was coveting at the Police concert in November. How cool is that?
The Sweetie rather overestimated the size, but he's sending it in for an exchange. And it's still totally cool. My 16 year old self is very jealous that I've got this now. *g*
The opening of the gifts was followed by a yummy meal of takeaway sushi (mmm, unagi) and a white chocolate mousse cake produced by the same caterer who did our wedding. Here's a shot of the cake:
I'd hoped to watch Odd Man Out after dinner. It's one of my absolute favourite films and we'd recorded it off TCM early in the month. Unfortunately, we were both too dead to contemplate a two hour movie, but I did talk the Sweetie into watching an episode of Pros (Mixed Doubles! And he liked it!) so it was all good.
Now I must seriously pass out. We're all recovering from colds--although in the Sweetie's case that means he seems to be getting worse again--and a good night's sleep wouldn't come amiss.
Thanks again to everyone who sent birthday wishes. It made the day really special.
