Aw thanks Lola! Apology not necessary, but accepted all the same. I had a lovely day, from opening a present first thing upon arising (it came in the mail the week before but I saved it for my birthday) to a wonderful wonderful visit with my sister, and I finished the day off with a nice long walk in the evening after I got back. (My sister lives 100 miles away)
The day after I had a chocolate cup cake hang over though, because my sister made me delicious chocolate cup cakes and insisted I take them ALL home with me.
