Happy birthday to you! I am so glad to hear that it was a wonderful day. Sorry this is late but that just makes the day go on a bit longer, right? Smile

Hurrah for Old Blush, presenting you with pink roses in November. Your birthday party sounds lovely!

The chocolate mousse looks fantastic. *drools*

The bottom pendant does in fact date from my childhood in Japan. The characters are supposed to say something like happiness† and long life but I always wonder if really they say something like Public Restroom This Way or I Am an Apple Dumpling.


I once saw a picture of a girl's side, upon which she'd had several large Chinese characters tattooed--I believe she said they were some sort of blessing for happiness/nirvana/etc. Except then someone commented, "Um, actually, that says 'I am a picnic table.'"

Ouch!

Why, I feel all thin, sort of stretched, if you know what I mean, like butter that has been scraped over too much bread.

A very Happy Birthday!

AND THE SLEEVES ARE LONG ENOUGH. In my world this does not happen.
It doesn't happen in mine either! Smile

This is why I have firmly decided that if I ever decide to get ink permanently engraved on my body it will be in a language I speak. And read. Even if this means I have to go study said language for a few weeks (or months) to know enough that I feel comfortable getting the tattoo. I'll have it for awhile; I want to be sure.

I must say, that is an excellent Secret Agent Pose photo with your coat.
