There was yummy Mexican at a hole-in-the-wall place that came highly recommended, and rightfully so. There was a delicious, if slightly too sweet, chocolate raspberry cake from Whole Foods.
There was a purple flower arrangement from Torsten:

And this book, also from Torsten:

(And, not birthday-related, although birthday-posted, there's a new post over at Not a Diet.)
And of course, there was, and continues to be, this amazing doggie:

All in all, a perfect day.
Happy belated bday! Glad you had a great one :-) love the purple flowers!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flowers! Glad you had a happy day.
ReplyDeleteI love that Torsten bought you something that clearly excites you (well, I'm assuming the idea of decorating a new home excites you based on how you squeal with excitement on your blog!). That's really quite thoughtful of him! And makes for a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! Sounds like you had a great day!
ReplyDeleteSounds like 25 will be a great year for you! Happy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Montana; so cozy in her doggy bed. A long way off, and infinitely better, from where she came! Happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Birthday!!!! The flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSounds so lovely. And of course Montana has a purple collar (I didn't see this before). Could we have guessed otherwise?
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday :) Such pretty flowers, I love it that it's purple. My favorite.:)
ReplyDeleteooooh you'll have to tell us how that book is! i was so sad when domino folded.. it's the only magazine i subscribe to. it seemed exorbitant to get their book when i have nothing to decorate, but i totally want it anyway.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday (belated)! Glad you and Torsten and your new little addition are doing well.
ReplyDeleteChristiana

ReplyDeleteHappy, happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I am so happy it was a great day! My husband and I LOVE Mexican hole-in-the-wall places. And we have TONS to try around here! Yummy!

ReplyDeleteHonestly, this sounds like the PERFECT day. Which, obviously, you deserve :)
