What I really want for my birthday -
Sep. 20th, 2004 09:56 pmA cake. Not one from the grocery store. I hate whipped-cream frosting.
Get me a good one. Slap something silly on top like an anime action figure. My mother once made an angel food cake in a cast iron skillet by building the sides up with aluminum foil (theme of the party was a hobo party - I think I was 10) - something that requires some thought and planning.
I'll accept pie. You get me one from Costsco, so help me, you'll wear it.
Pie good.
I'd like a surprise. One I don't have to manage.
Things are nice; cards are better. I'd accept postcards this year.
Jim got to spend his birthday at the top of Tokyo Tower. Mine falls the day after Divali - and I'm still not sure where Mom is going to be by then, so I don't want to go far, or plan to go far - but yeah, I'm a little bummed.
Maybe I'll set myself up for the whole body treatment - massage, facial, the works. Be incredibly girly for once. Birthday is on a Sunday, which almost guarantees Jim is going to be working. I can be on my own.
I'd just like a cake. A good one.
