Gonna party like its my birthday....

...because it IS my birthday!!

I'm a whopping 26 years old today!

Does this mean I'm a real Grown-Up now??

Neverrrr!! ;-)

I don't have any big plans for today... my family is at work/school, and I have classes this afternoon and evening, so its not the best day to celebrate. I think we'll try to go out for a yummy Japanese dinner tomorrow night, perhaps. There will also be some red velvet cake involved (my favorite!)...

If I didn't have classes today, and could spend all day in the kitchen, I would make some of these yummy-looking treats:

Cupcake fondue!

Ice cream gyoza

Rainbow cupcakes!

Wheeeeee!!

I definitely want a birthday tiara like this one!!

Does anyone know who made it/where it came from?

Make a wish!

Pretty washi tape!!

I would probably have this hanging year-round...

I have a semi-busy day today...got lots of business to take care of an errands to run! I have some orders from le shop to ship out (thanks!), some fun snail-mail to send, and a huuuuge pile of laundry that's calling my name rather beligerently. Most importantly, I noticed this morning that my drivers license expires tomorrow and I never got a renewal notice in the mail. I need to figure out how I can take care of that so that I'm not driving on an expired license for the next week or two!! Then its off to class, babysitting, and then a night class! Woo! Long day!
