Good haul this year, I must say. Despite much protesting on my part because I know mum is short on money, she still spoiled me. I got a new Vera Bradley:
Lovely!
I've seriously gotta start selling the old purses on eBay. I get a new Vera Bradley every season, and then never use them again. I'm a wh*re like that.
Also got Season 4 of the X-Files, a collection of animated shorts by the Brothers Quay, and a collection of Jan Svankmajer's short films. We went out for a lovely dinner at Esty Street. Fancy gourmet food, and of course I ate too much: skirt steak with corn succotash, and squash instead of French fries, then a teeny bowl of bacon-and-maple flavoured ice cream. I had to try it. It was definitely weird, but it was pretty good. And needless to say, I felt ill afterwards because it was dairy.
Fasting today to make up for it, and also fasting tomorrow to prepare for the second birthday dinner on Friday. The fam is coming over, and a few friends. At least we're eating at home, so it'll be easier to avoid most of the food without drawing attention. I'm going to try and eat only the pheasant, and a tiny piece of my cake. Older Sis #2 is making me a crumb cake, and her crumb cake is sinfully delicious, so I have to have some.
Have a great day, y'all!!
It sounds like you had a great birthday! Good.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck on the fast!
I'd type more but I reallllllly have to pee right now. D: That seems to take up a lot of concentration for me. :/
I'm glad you had a swell birthday! and it's your birthday so you deserve to eat however you want, even if it is strange things like maple-and-bacon flavored ice cream. (:

ReplyDeleteThat bacon and maple flavoured ice-cream does seem a bit strange, but I'd totally try it too (:
Hope the fast is going well.

A very merry happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteBrothers Quay!!! (I'm suspecting you are my lover-of-mildly-creepy-things twin...) So creepy, so bizarre....have you seen the one with someone crawling up a ladder, and I think someone is in a room sleeping...and there is this strange little finger twitch on the ladder...like some sort of uber creepy erotic thing going on... It's the minute movements of their animations that just make them so...unsettling. I remember having this intense urge to show my flatmate the finger twitch once (it seemed highly important...I may or may not have been ..ahem...of that fizzy-state-of-mind via chemical enhancement). Sadly I was too buzzy to focus on the buttons and couldn't find it :(.
Oh, and have you read "The Street of Crocodiles" by Bruno Schulz?? Do it.
Also, is it wrong that I'm a vegetarian yet still chuckled at that pheasant pic and the accompanying comment in the last post??
Beautiful purse! Love it! Glad to hear you had a fun day, you soooo deserve it!
ReplyDeleteHave you read "Haunted"? Creepiest, most bizzare, unsettling, digusting, fascinating, weird, can-get-the-images-out-of-my-mind-book that i have ever read. Gives me the chills even now.
Elk Thank you for the book idea...i'm always on the lookout for suggestions!
ReplyDelete....I think a Barnes & Noble trip is in order... Thanks for the suggestions guys! Buying new books is my favorite thing to do. :D
ReplyDeleteOMG
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THE BROTHER'S QUAY AND JAN SVANKMAJER!!!
I just died a little bit.
Svankmajer's Faust is sitting in my amazon wishlist RIGHT NOW.
I'm so, so jealous.
<3
Ah, birthday debauchery, nothing like it! Don't worry, my turn's coming in Jan. right after christmas! Yikes! Thank "RandomChance" I'm an anti-social Atheist, so I can keep the binging to a minimum!
ReplyDeleteGlad you were thoroughly spoiled. That bag is Dee-vine, Doll!! Your din-dins sounds great! Bacon and maple ice-cream is my kind of thing, alright. I'm weird that way! Enjoy the pheasant feast! X
What? I missed your birthday? I didn't know. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly, I've come to rely on Facebook to tell me of these things. You should befriend my there so I can wish you a happy birthday at the right time next year.
