Birthday Lament

Well, today is my birthday. No big deal as it really is just another day. I got the usual assortment of presents which I always enjoy, but I had been hoping for something a little different this year. When asked 'what I wanted for my birthday' I had described something like this...




I had thought that that might result in me getting something like this...




Or at the very least, something along these lines....



But it wasn't to be.
Even my cake didn't look like the one I had described. This is how it was supposed to look...



But it didn't even come close. Oh well, such is life.

I guess I will just have to get dressed up and head out to see what the night brings...


Seriously, I have had a great day with my family and friends, just not 'those friends' that I like to write about. Which is a pity really as I am feeling very playful, if you can't already tell. There is always next year.


(PS. That last picture is not of me. I would never wear those shoes with that scarf. Credit me with a little more fashion sense than that)
