I’m pretty sure my groan at the alarm would have startled the dogs, had they not groaned with me. :) But, the dogs and I got ready and headed over to Bob’s before work so they could play all day. I got a little tin with grapes and strawberries packed for me. It was quite delicious, and I wished I’d remembered to take a picture sooner:

2nd Breakfast!

Progress

I made a little leg knitting progress as well. We spent the evening with pizza, sugary treats, and Wii games. It was my first time playing mario karts for the wii, and it’s super awesome! New favorite game by far.

We’re supposed to get a snowstorm tomorrow. I can only hope it happens, but it never seems to when I’d like it to.

Before the heel

Heel!

Check that out - it's like a real sock!

And that’s the bulk of my day.

Got up, got ready, and Bob and I went to the auto show. It wasn’t quite like it’s been in years past, but we had a good time. Then we had lunch and watched a movie about a flying castle. I can’t remember the name, but it was really neat.

We headed to my parents’ house about 4, and had a delicious steak dinner and played some cut throat Uno. For my birthday, everyone pooled together and got me the artisan kitchenaide mixer!!!! It’s the awesome gunmetal color. A thing of sheer beauty. I can’t wait to clean off my countertops and set it up tomorrow. It’s going to be awesome. To top the awesomeness, look at the cake my sister made me:

My perfect birthday cake!

Best cake ever.

It was just as delicious as it was beautiful. Vanilla bean cake with chocolate icing that had strawberries blended into the icing. Then, topped with really yummy chocolate fondant. I wished I had eaten less diner food and more cake.

Finally, here’s my sock progress:

Sock!

It looks like I may actually finish this one. :)
