Birthday

I had a great birthday!  Dinner at Knead in the Short North, karaoke at Mickey's, brunch the next day - and Steve cooked me all sorts of goodies (city chicken, chocolate chip cookies).  I took today off work and hung out with Wm.  Steve left at lunch and we partied.  Mimi gave me a Barnes & Noble gift card for my birthday so we hit up the OSU bookstore and got some Ohio State gear (I am also looking forward to buying zillions of books for my Nook!) At the bookstore  I told Wm he could get one thing - and he weirdly picked out a pen.  Not even a fancy or exiting pen.  Just...a pen.  He came home and wrote a long story with it. He's an interesting one, that Wm.  Here he is with inflato-Brutus:

As usually happens after my birthday, I am heartily sick of winter.  It is around this time I start insisting to Steve that we are moving to Arizona.  Today was gorgeous and 50 degrees, so it was a nice break from the cold.  But we are all SO ready for spring!
