To celebrate, we spent the whole day getting in to birthday shenanigans. He met Ezekiel, my Hookah, down by the river for some adult-initiation.
That's him! And some Starbuzz tobacco Melon Blue sheesha. It's tasty.
Of course, I baked him a birthday cake. It was cherry-chocolate marble cake, and absolutely amazing, if I do say so myself. The recipe I used can be found here, and the chocolate frosting can be found here. What can I say, I'm kind of a baking fanatic.
Isn't it pretty?
We went and saw Captain America, which was actually pretty good. I love me some super hero movies, don't get me wrong, but I was a little iffy on Captain America. However, I really did enjoy the movie. It didn't have as much... Substance? As I would have liked, but it was still well done. And the preview for the Avengers at the end? Yeah, I'm really excited. (Mostly just because I love Robert Downey Jr., but we'll ignore that.)
We also... Moved... Furniture... My dad was moving couches and made us help. It was a liiittle ridiculous (the couch gouged out a bunch of paint on its way upstairs) but it wasn't a huge deal. After all that, I made him dinner, just some pasta ('cause I'm actually not that great of a cook), but he liked it. According to him, it was the perfect birthday, so I feel accomplished.
I also looked pretty cute.
Tunic/Dress with a waist belt, and my new favorite red shoes!
We went swing dancing this week, too, and that was loads of fun. Though we didn't actually dance that much... We ended up spending a couple hours at a Perkins. It was basically just an excuse for us to meet Dana's new boyfriend, and for me to see Dana before she left for Florida. I can't wait until she gets back!
I wore my Bettie Page dress, and, of course, my new red shoes.
Dress; "Gabrielle", Bettie Page, $136. Shoes; Target, $12.
It was a good time. Now, I will be anxiously awaiting Dana's return to Minnesota, and spending lots of time with Sam. Or at home, playing Pokemon and stuff like that.
