Don't the 70's sound like SUCH a long time ago?

Here are the goods (some of them)! Diane gave me the orchid and Eric brought me the pom pom thingies. They smell sooo good! Eric had to work till 7 so we headed out for a late dinner at the Spectrum and of course a stop at the Apple store. I picked up iLife 09 with some bday money and can't wait to install it. Part of my present is the chance to go up to San Francisco again this weekend to see little Lucy. She is being blessed on Sunday. Thanks to all for your birthday wishes. It was a good one!
