It's about ten days after my birthday and today has somehow turned into my great birthday celebration. I got a package this morning from Sis. It had the following:
- Two cookie presses
- Chocolates from Japan
- Japanese apricot liqueur
- A book of dog treat recipes with three cookie cutters
- A DVD about Blaxpolitation movies
- A Desi Arnaz CD
Whew! Pretty great.
Then I met Sara in Union Square and we walked around to some second-hand stores looking at clothes and furniture. I predicted that fashion next year will be all about the Brokeback Mountain look - rugged suede coats with fleece lined collars. We wandered up to Little India for lunch and had some of the best Indian food I've had in a while. The place is called Copper Chimney. The chef came out to talk to us during lunch. And Sara said that lunch was on her - it was my birthday present because she couldn't find the original gift she had in mind.
So I came home and there was another package waiting for me: gift certificates at Barney's from Mom and Dad! Whoo-hoo!
Not bad for ten days after my birthday.
