So, for my 32'nd birthday this year, I had a very mellow day. I got up and hit some neighborhood yard sales (hadn't been in forever, and several neighborhoods in Irvine were sponsoring 50+ family sales), which was very fun. I found some rubber stamps, some picture frames, a couple cute antique green vases...and the find of the day was a brand new in-the-box Williams-Sonoma creme brulee torch with a new can of butane which I got for $5 for the set--retail value of both of those is $48, so this was a steal!
For the my birthday dinner, Tri took me to Lulu's Creperie Cafe in Lake Forest. The interesting thing is that this restaurant has been many things over the years, and previously it was an Italian restaurant called 20/20. Exactly 10 years ago, the MacKinnons took me there for my birthday, which Tri did not know. So, this time around in the same place, we ate French food. I had peach champagne (which was very tastey), french onion soup, and chicken cordon bleu. It was all very delicious! We were so full that we were not able to have crepes for dessert, but that was OK--gives us a reason to go back!
After dinner, Tri went with me to pick up my birthday sewing machine! I used giftcards that I received to be able to purchase a cool sewing machine that I've wanted for a long time (and otherwise would not get for myself). I've already used it to sew 4 decorative pillows (with cording!), and I hemmed a skirt and altered a blouse to make them both fit. I LOVE my new little sewing machine! More pictures of my crafty sewing items will appear soon!
All in all, I had a great 32nd birthday! Thanks to everyone for all my nice birthday wishes!
