birthday recap

i had a most fabulous birthday! i took the day off of work (wahoo!) and spent friday in omaha with my boyfriend. first stop of course, was the yarn shop. i always get so overwhelmed there! especially when i don't have a project in mind...i always default to a little bit of yarn rather than too much. i'm not sure if this is a good thing....anywhos, i knew i didn't want sock yarn, i thought maybe some kidsilk haze, but i ended up getting some noro. i have never knit with noro, it's always seemed a bit rich for my blood, but i'm so glad i got some. the colors are amazing and i definitely see some more in my future. i got one skein of taiyo, thinking it would be perfect for a cowl (and i was right!)

after the yarn store we went to whole foods (i miss whole foods so much, just walking in the doors i got so excited, i am crazy) and then we went to anthropologie. my love for anthro runs deep, i know they have crazy high prices, and perhaps an itty bitty chip in there adorable shoulder, but i can't help it! i've only ever gotten stuff on sale there, i just like to browse. :) i did end up getting a few trinkets...


my noro, a new journal, some stationary, teacup with birds and elephant s&p shakers!

after anthro we went to see watchmen in imax. this was my first imax experience, and we probably picked a good movie for it. i'm not really with the whole graphic novel thing, but it wasn't bad, maybe a tad long (almost 3 hours). but pretty entertaining, if you like big blue naked guys.

after the movie we had dinner at the cheesecake factory, needless to say i was very full and very happy by the end of the day. :)

here are some other lovely things i got for my birthday, a self-proclaimed teasnob of a friend sent me some lovely tea...


and i also participated in a birthday swap on ravelry and got these goodies...


(some biscotti and mentos didn't make it to the picture) :)

and last but certainly not least, a bunny home!!!!!!!!!!!! :o


this was from the bf, and i am SO EXCITED. the bunny is yet to come, i'm looking on petfinder, but i'm not really sure if i should get one now or when i'm back in nyc. i feel like moving with a bunny might be a little cuckoo. but i can't wait!!!!

the bf also made me a birthday cake, confetti cake with homemade peanut butter frosting, be still my heart...
