Birthday Adventures

Went to sister's house after Oprah. They had Cher and Tina Turner on so had to watch that. Had to deal with rush hour traffic and thought I was going to get into an accident a few times, but luck smiled upon me. I arrived just after they did. My niece let me smell the flowers they got me. They're fake. My sister didn't want the cats to eat my birthday present. Yes, they have that tendency to do that and spill water all over the table. They are beautiful pink roses in a white vase sitting on my display case. Niece wanted to wrap it, but that is a little hard to wrap. They also got me a big cupcake balloon. Frodo ran away when he saw it and jumped on the cupboards. After watching Precious chew on the ribbon, he came down and chewed on the ribbon too.

So anyway. They got a marble cake with lime green and pale pink icing. Niece opened my card for me. She even signed her name, mostly. It is a music card singing "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". We went out to a fancy local restrauant and I had the hamburger, Niece had chicken strips, and my sister the salmon. Niece spilled her lemonade so they had to change shirts in the car. Packed up the leftovers and went home to eat the cake. My niece and I sniffed the yummy frosting while sister talked to the babysitter. Couldn't find my sister's camera so we took some with my cell phone camera. Table is a little orange (table is brown), but I'm the right color. Niece had to get in the picture and took a couple of her. Ate up the delicious cake and it was time for niece to go to the babysitter. She disagreed all the way there, but quickly got distracted with toys.

We went to a local comedy club to discover it moved locations. So saw a movie instead. The Dark Knight had started playing right when we came so saw that one. It was good. The deceased Heath Ledger did a good performance, though the make up looked more like an abtract painting than Jack Nicholson's Joker face. This time around the put Harvey Dent/Two Face in the same movie as the Joker. It was a nice touch. As we stepped outside, I realize I forgot my coat. People leaving opened the door and I rushed in before the credits ended so I knew I was in the right one.

Came back and sister got my niece while I attempted to neatly place cake pieces in a dish to take home. The frosting stuck to the knife and the dish was too short, so I made a mess and squished the cake in the dish when closing the lid. It will taste the same tomorrow. At least I have a funny story to tell my friends. Now 'm in my pj's ready for bed.

Gotta to go. If I ignore the cats too long, they jump on my computer and send emails before I'm ready. Later.
