Post-birthday
May. 27th, 2008 01:45 pm26 is off to a nice start.
I brought home-made muffins into work yesterday. It's sort of considered obligatory to provide your own birthday cake for the rest of the office to pig out on - but I'm going to be profoundly sick of cake by the end of the week, so muffins seemed like a better idea. And everyone else seemed to like them.
My sister brought Alex and a birthday card around last night, and before I opened the door I heard him carefully practising "Happy Birthday Auntie Mewwyan!" (That's right - I am no longer "Auntie Maz". I am now "Auntie Mewwyan", which is as close as he can get to pronouncing my name, and makes me profoundly thrilled every time I hear it.)
Many thanks to all my lovely flist people who wished me a happy birthday. It was just wonderful getting to read that when I turned on the internet.
