Happy (My) Birthday

Well, I'm 32 today. One of my favorite numbers.

[livejournal.com profile] brendand left me the sweetest card and a gift on the kitchen table. I also opened some gifts family friends had sent me and am thus wearing my brand new birthday black cashmere sweater. Mum and dad are coming over tonight and also a couple friends for dinner and maybe a game or two. I wasn't in the mood for something elaborate. Missing Bill a lot (he'll be home in about a week, looks like).

I've gotten a lot of well wishes so far and I appreciate them all. Thank you, for your thoughts and your friendship.

My parents used to always ask me to supply them with a list of things I want, so I created an amazon wish list a while back. I'm not really in much of a wanting things mood, except that I'm feeling a bit sick of the music I currently have. I'm also feeling like I should really get an aftermarket 6-cd changer for my car. It would make me so much happier, I think. I had one in my last car and I miss it. And I always need more black socks (crew length, preferably relatively thin dress socks). I just added some to my wish list.

Happy birthday!

(I've never seen anyone actually ask for socks as a present before! ;-)

I routinely ask for underwear... It's something I need and will use and is affordable for the giver. And I prefer it to scented soap or perfume, which some relatives give with far too great a frequency.

Hmmmm. Not sure we're the same size.

Oh, or were you talking about the relatives?

Close enough.

I don't know any horror stories about your relatives. But I think I'll keep my own on the off chance that your family expects gifts from you. :)

I guess I'm half-hoping someone might get me a sock subscription (http://www.blacksocks.com/) (although since they only carry men's sizes, I'd need a small). :)
