I like birthdays

Especially when they are mine! See, you get pretty presents, and then you get money, and you get to go shopping! (Excuse my consumerist girl moment.)

Plus your friends all come hang out with you wherever you tell them to. In this case, it was on the lakefront, on a grassy area near the beach. We picnic'ed and played lawn darts and walked on the beach and it was lovely. My friends are excellent. My boyfriend did an especially good job of organizing the event, and I am most grateful.

I have not profound comments or anything. I'm just quite pleased with the whole thing. I think I shall do it again next year!
