birthday rain

We had a lovely night. Alan brought home these gorgeous star tulips that are pink and red with yellow streaks. They're in this especially neat glass, which is narrow and ovoid. I love them. He also brought soap! Because I have been so good about not buying tons and tons of bath products as usual. Alan picked out a big basket with lavender vanilla soap, bubble bath, lotion and a giant sparkly candle. It's so great.

A nice dinner of seafood goodness, with tasty oysters and shrimps. Then a bottle of Messina Hoff wine, and hours of random talking. It was a very nice evening, almost enough to make me want another birthday. Hah.

I woke up to thunder, and sweet cool rain. Life is good.

I felt muzzy and tired all day. The weather didn't really help. It was about 84 with some humidity that just made me want to sleep.

On the BPAl forum, I swapped my bottle of Spooky for Miskatonic University. It smells perfectly divine - coffee, cream, whiskey, paper and polished oak wood. It is superbly divine. I love it. I bought it to be the inspirational scent for book writing.

I am utterly miserable however, as I appear to be allergic to something in it. I've been wearing it for half an hour and I have itchy, horrible red bumps. My skin, it burns. Damn it! I am so sad. Woe.

I had a sweet email from a BPAL forum member who is my birthday sprite, about a gift in the mail. So exciting! I hope the presents I sent to my Sprite arrived. I haven't heard from her. Hmm.

How many times have I watched The Patriot just to see Colonel Tavington? A lot.
