Oh noes K&ND's puppy! Be better.

(I read Beep Me.)

(Now I go back to reviewing the not-so-subtle-but-that's-okay-I-kinda-asked-for-it "These are rings I like" document Improbable Girl left on her laptop).

(She likes aquamarines and yellow gold, with rough finishes, made by interesting artists. No diamonds. I can get behind that financially, politically, AND aesthetically.)

Did you have a good birthday?

For the most part, I did. I mean, I had to work, when I'd rather sleep in and eat bon-bons in bed. And I was on day 2 of a headache that wasn't quite sinus, wasn't quite migraine, wasn't quite tension. Strange.

But other than that, it was good. We went out to dinner with a group of friends, and The Boy brought the cake (and the Batman candle).

When I came home from work, his computer monitor was wrapped in birthday paper, with a bow on it.

"You're...giving me your computer monitor for my birthday?" I asked.

What he had ordered for my birthday hadn't shipped yet, so he pulled up the Web page and then wrapped the monitor. Dork. I love him.

Anyway, this is what was on the monitor: [link] Oh, yeah.

... I think that gift may be as much for him as for you, Steph.

Or possibly I just have an apron fetish.

(HOT!)

And related to my present, I feel that I need to draw Jilli's attention to this one: [link] Hot pink and black! Skulls!

Teppy, that is so cute and creative of him to wrap the monitor!

... I think that gift may be as much for him as for you, Steph.

I asked for an apron, though not a particular pattern.

Or possibly I just have an apron fetish.

And, well, yeah, I asked for it in no small part b/c of fetish-y reasons, which are indeed as much for him as for me.

Tep, you indeed have the boyfriend of AWESOME!

But I did tell him to not expect me to, you know, *cook* or anything.

That's just crazy.

Niiiiiiiice apron.

Nice apron! TCG gave me one for Christmas that is of a similar style, only red with black polka dots.
