Comments for Birthday Wrap-up

MoonBirthday Wrap-up: 08/27/07

My birthday started out with many lovely ecards and birthday wishes from family and friends. My livejournal friends page had so many lovely birthday wishes.

Harriet chose to day to pull up to standing. She's still rather shy about her ability and needs lots of encouragement to stand when she's being watched. She seems to move more and take more chances when no one is watching (or when she thinks no one is watching). All of the practice standing, though, wore her out and she was ready for her naps earlier than usual.

After a busy day at work, Harriet and I had to pick up Ian from BART. He had to be in to Berkeley early because today was "moving day." To get there in time, he rode the bus down to BART at 7:30. He wanted to be sure he kept his old desk. He did keep his desk and also managed to snag a more comfortable chair.

Once I had picked up Ian and we had then picked up Sean, we headed out to Chevy's for dinner. We had a nice dinner. Sean and Ian switched sides to put Harriet on the opposite end of the table, allowing me the chance to get fajitas without having to worry about Harriet burning herself. Yay!

Then we went home and it was time for presents. Sean and Ian had gotten me two more Discworld books: Jingo and Night Watch. We already have Fifth Elephant so I have plenty more fun things to read.

We finished off the day by playing Mario Party (Sean and me). I had a rare win; I usually come in last. Then we had mint and chip ice cream. After that it was time to say good night to Sean. So that was my birthday in a nut shell.
