Magic Monday the last

October 25th is weeks past, yet I have been remiss in posting about the fab festivities that went down!
So here's my 27th in a (photographic) nutshell:

Breakfast in bed to start the day off - SO PERFECT

BIRTHDAY PACKAGES! Thanks Mama B :)

Thanks mom!

Goodies - the toothpaste was particularly exciting to me... Really. I'm pretty easy to please.

I finally WON a solo game on Quordy (so what if there were only 2 words?!).

Lunch with my favorite co-worker, Sujeong

Whipped cream, new horsey scarf - and NO KIMCHI IN SIGHT.

Surprise roses at the end of the workday

Goofy photo booth party crew

Shark balloon donation was well received - watching this little guy beat his older brother with the balloon I gave him was definitely one of the highlights of the day :D

Oh la la, dinner with my baby

An opportunity to dress up? Always in the mood, this one. :)

Halloween/BD party time!

Ohmagawd, caramel frosted chocolate cake made from scratch by  MOI!

Oh man, oh man! Birthdays. I really dig them - mine or otherwise. And my fab husband made this past one memorable and sweet... and long-lasting. :) When November eventually rolled around, I reluctantly said goodbye to my extended birthday and moved into the chilly wintery-ness that came with this new month.

And that's all for this year, folks!

Monday Meh, Thursday YEAH!

This week was uninspiring and mostly meh, unfortunately.

Aaaaand I have nothing else to say, except........

TOMORROW'S MY BIRTHDAY!
AND I'M SUPER EXCITED!

I don't care that I'm turning 27 (a particularly uninspiring year, it seems), I still get excited over birthdays. Maybe that enjoyment will start to fade later in life, but I hope not. Being born was one of the best things that happened to me. Makes me feel like partying EVERY YEAR. :)

A very appropriate photo, as Darby and I share the same BD! (She's a former fellow ESL teacher, who left a while back for the States)

Totally just did this on Super Better.  A perfect way to celebrate my bd. :)

Another way I boosted my self-esteem today? Reading Urban Dictionary's definition of my name.

ANNA:

The name for the most awesome person ever, It is impossible to fit so much awesome into any other person.

You think your as awesome as Anna? well you cant be because Anna is so amazingly awesome.

Who knew U.D. was so freakishly perceptive? :D
