did i mention the cake??

wegmans' ultimate chocolate cake, that is. we had a (small one) yesterday. it was here when i got home from work. i'm not sure why.

also puzzling, when i woke up yesterday morning, i found this:

i'm thinking the two may have been connected.
but what does it MEAN??

the lovely june made me a gorgeous card...


...and sent *GOODIES* i cannot wait to play with!!!!!!


my friend barb found a gorgeous vintage leatherbound edition of dante gabriel rossetti's collected poems at a flea market:

(my friend cheryl, on the other hand, found "pride & prejudice & zombies" at borders. what does it say about me that i love both, pretty much equally??!)

there were also a lot of cards and phone calls and emails, and a few more presents, (including divine origins' GINGER goodies!) then, for dinner, there were baby lambchops in a bordelaise sauce with rosemary potatoes and steamed asparagus. (my favorite!!!)

apparently, a whole lotta people are under the impression that i was
BORN YESTERDAY!!!

did i mention the cake??


(a smart--& perhaps less greedy--girl would've snapped a photo whilst it was INTACT. i am not that girl.)

♥♥♥ thank you thank you thank you to everyone involved in what may well have been the best birthday ever!!!!! ♥♥♥

  11. Okay, here's the deal...I purposefully waited until today, July 2nd to wish you a very Happy Birthday (Happy Birthday, Lauren!) to stretch, so to speak, the celebratory glow. Hope it worked.

    Hugs!
