Many Happy Returns of the Day!

Happy birthday to samantilles. I Wish I had something exciting to offer, but rl has been intense lately, which means my muse is sitting over there in the corner, with her back turned, pouting in a most unbecoming way. You'd think I was ignoring her on purpose.

In lieu of anything written, I send you a virtual Daniel, bearing cake, and flashing that same "I'm too cute for you to not love me!" smile he gave when he showed up with the teddy bear for baby Janet in Heroes.

May your day be filled with friendship, song, and celebration! And let's not forget cake! (My idea!)

*squees in delight* My mom hasn't even called yet to wish me a happy birthday!! Thanks!

And, well, for cake, I've always got this:

Maybe not a traditional birthday cake, but hey, only a true stargate fan would appreciate it!

That's an impressive cake!

When we got married I kind of puzzled the baker (there was a language barrier, I'm American, she was Equadoran, working for a Swede) by asking for 1)chocolate cake with mocha icing, which is not too unusual, but for a moment she was under the misapprehension that we wanted a mocha icing on the outside, which would have been outside the usual color palette, and 2)a surface on the top where we could put the furry bride and groom mice that my little sister (then 11) had given me. I don't know what she was thinking originally, but when she finally understood, she laughed until she wept, and then said that she could put a marzipan disk on top for the mice. I had even brought the mice in for show and tell, so it shouldn't have been so difficult, but then clearly I brightened her day, so it's all good. It was delicious.
