Happy Birthday to me!

Well, my birthday was fantastic! It is one of the best birthdays I have ever had, and I owe much thanks to Adam. The day started out pretty normal. I went to work, got a funny card from my coworkers, taught the kids, and got a couple of funny presents from them. Then after work, Adam and I came home and he told me we were going out to eat. He surprised me by taking me to a great restaurant, The Pumpkin House, and then showering me with gifts. Okay, well, some of the gifts were from my mom, but he did wrap them up and make them look nice. You can tell by the wrapping paper! He then gave me the best surprise anyone could ask for - a Hello Kitty MP3 player! I absolutely love it! It is the cutest thing and it is practical, I may add. Then we went for a little walk around the neighborhood of the restaurant and tried out some of the "exercise" equipment. He then told me we needed to go to our friend Faye's house to "pick up something else." Well, it turns out that some more of our friends were at the house and that Faye had made me a lovely birthday cake. Well, it tasted lovely, but it kind of looked like a piece of poop, literally. But it was good, and that's all that matters! So, it was a great birthday! Hope you enjoy the pictures!

This is the package my mom sent, with the dazzling wrapping paper courtesy of Adam.

Some close ups of the present. I don't know what he was talking about, because I thought that the wrapping was phenomenal! It was definitely the most original paper I've ever seen!

Our delicious meal, complete with a bottle of wine. This was actually our second table of the evening. We were sitting at a different table, but there was so much food that there wasn't enough room on the table!

Here is Adam with all of the food!

I even got to eat some pumpkin cheesecake, complete with a little votive candle! The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and added this candle when they found out it was my birthday!

This is the box that my MP3 player came in! Even the box was cute!

Here I am sitting outside of the restaurant next to some pumpkins on a bench. The ENTIRE restaurant was decked out in pumpkins; there were pumpkins EVERYWHERE!

The menu posted outside the restaurant had a couple of funny mistakes that made us chuckle. First, and one of the reasons Adam said he decided to take me here, was that in Taiwan they believe Iowa to be the Potato State, and of course I ordered an Iowa Classic Potato Gratin. I know my mom can make some pretty good Potatoes Au Gratin, but I didn't know they were an Iowa Classic!

Also, don't forget to wash your meal down with some Semen Tea.

Then we headed over to my old house, where Faye had baked a delicious chocolate cake!

Here is Adam pretending to blow out the candles, and I am looking annoyed.

Here I am with the culinary masterpiece concocted by Faye.
