Well, despite it not being my "real" birthday according to the internet (despite my mother's claims to the contrary) I ended up having a lovely day. I had a massage and pedicure at the spa chipped in for by my foster daughter and Davis. Dinner at The Reef was lovely. Danielle joined us and she surprised me with the best birthday present. Wrapped in beautiful pink tissue paper and adorned with a paper cupcake I received a pair of earrings I had been lusting over in her store, dangly silver scissors. Also, the scarf I had also been admiring for some time in both blue and purple. It was so sweet. There should be photos to follow eventually. She further made my night by having the foresight to have stopped at Detour dessert lounge before dinner to pick up my favourite cake. (vanilla, coconut, vegan: yes please!) All in all, I had a pretty good day and at the end of it all I'm officially a quarter of a century old for the next 365. (and I don't look a day over 12)
