Everybody's eating for the weekend.
May. 9th, 2010 11:49 pmYesterday was my 28th birthday, and for my birthday I went to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kiviuq's book launch, utterly failed to get blocking pins for my lace shawl that I wish to block, had a loffly Buddha Bowl and a lavender chocolate cupcake for dinner at Fresh, and then had a party with The People, various regiments and divisions, at The Central. It was good! We had fun! Madeline almost made me spit a drink I laughed so hard!
Overall, good birthday. Laid-back. Nice. :)
Today was the Mother's Day/Leah's Birthday Combined Annual Dinner (this happens a lot) at my parents' place. There was barbeque, gluten-free dairy-free chocolate cake which was nonetheless really good (my mom can't have dairy, my grandmother can't have gluten) and presents. My sister got me a really nice book about the history of tea. There was, in fact, tea.
Since my mother, grandmother, and great-aunt were downtown this afternoon with my grandmother's old ladies' social group seeing a Music of Gershwin show, it was decided that the easiest way to get up to my parents' place in the 'burbs was to take the bus back up to my grandmother's apartment building with the rest of said retired social group and families. My mom and I sat at the back of the bus doing stuff like this:
Me: Oh look, it's Shoppers Drug Mart. (points out the window to office building with Shoppers logo) I choose to believe that that's actually not a head office, but just a really, really big drugstore with every kind of toiletpaper in the universe. Twelve floors of toiletpaper.
Mom: It's twelve floors of tampons, and when it rains, it's 24 floors.
(Both collapse into hysterical laughter)
...so now you know who's responsible for me being how I am. Happy Mother's Day. *g*
