Though, not really an eventful one in terms of birthday-stuff. Being the day before Easter/Ostara added a great deal in the way of happenings – there was baking almost constantly in the kitchen, for instance – as well as the standard dying of eggs. But otherwise it was a nice, quiet, enjoyable, and productive day... listened to Celtic Woman, the Afrocelts, and Enya throughout the day... CGed a picture of Hahli (Matoran and Mahri forms), which I'll post tomorrow, which was enjoyable... worked on my Citrus Beetle (don't ask), and devised a suitable wing design... then read some of Mairelon the Magician and enjoyed a variety of twists and turns in Patricia C. Wrede's excellent style.

Had a nice dinner, too, spaghetti with ham and an alfredo sauce, and then of course chocolate cake. All of which was followed by present-opening time, which consisted of only the Exo-Force Storm Lasher in the way of Lego, but I'll probably go out to TRU and Target and see about getting some other stuffs for myself, maybe Pohatu Phantoka. But I also got three things by Celtic Woman (an awesome group, if you've never heard them), Across the Wall by Garth Nix, and then Non Campus Mentis, a book with the subtitle of World History According to College Students, which is among the funniest things I've ever read. (Did you know, for instance, that Eve at the Golden Apple of Discord, that Babylon was different from Egypt because Canadians lived there, or that Rasputin was born a pheasant?)

So nothing particularly extravagant, but I did have lots of fun. We also got some calla lilies, which are a nifty-looking flower... and all in all I had a fun birthday.
