Another year...

Another drop of wisdom in the Great Pool.
Happy Birthday to me. ^^

Actually had fun.
I woke up around four or five in the morning to something humming past the house - something with lights on it - hey, I heard a UFO! Neat! (Since I haven't got a /clue/ what it was, I'm pretty sure it qualifies as 'Unidentified' - and it seemed to be airborne - so. ^^)
Omen didn't like it - when the humming was loudest, he went and hid under the headboard. But it wasn't there for very long - still dunno wtf it was.

I then went back to sleep - after I got up we futzed about a little and then went to the Bead Faire in Portland. I got goodies!!!
I got 'em all from the same booth too. ^^ a pair of shark's teeth - not matched, but nice, all the same, and a couple of drilled bits of agate. One longish and skinny - blue-grey in colour, the other round and slightly faceted - a bit of carnelian or red agate. ^^
Yes!
And, I've got free admission for the Gem Faire in November - might have to take advantage of that...

Then, we hied back out to The Rheinlander - (Also Gustav's - they share the building) and had dinner. Lamb. HMmnnnn yummy... *puurRrrrrr*
*chuckles* We had fun - eating over there means you are likely to be serenaded by guys with accordions (well-played. I didn't wince even once..) and sung to. At? With? All of the above, depending on who you are and how well you know the songs.
Naturally, since it was my birthday, I was sung /at/, and given apple strudel and a balloon. The strudel was /excellent/, and Omen is playing with the balloon. (The string, specifically. He's having a good time.)
I'd have sung along, had I known any of what they were singing. ^^;

In short, a good day, marred only by Andi misjudging the turn radius in the truck and scraping the paint off the passenger-side door.
Other than that, though, it was good. ^^
