Birthday and other things

ladyofthethreadWell, it’s my birthday today. My family celebrated last weekend by going out to dinner with relatives at a new Chinese restaurant in the neighborhood. The food was good. (There were almost no leftovers, which is rare. There’s usually a lot!) But the service was rather disorganized, maybe because they were new. We got a huge plate of lobster which we didn’t order and discovered the person who took our order had written that down instead of the bird’s nest that we did order. o_O; So, they ended up giving us the lobster for free. Then, the last couple of the dishes took a long time to come and after bugging the waiters several times, we just cancelled the last one since it looked like the chefs just completely forgot to cook it. We’d also brought along an ice cream cake to be served afterwards and it must have taken them nearly half an hour to find it! o_o; The waiters mentioned there were 5 or 6 groups that brought in birthday cakes that evening and my parents were starting to think they mistakenly served my cake to another group by the time they finally found it! Apparently someone had moved it and jammed it all the way in the back of the freezer.
And I’ve had ridiculously bad luck with computers this week. ._.; My computer gave me a bit of trouble one day last week and then on Sunday morning, it refused to let me log in and I haven’t been able to use it since. It keeps beeping when it gets to the log in screen and when I click on my name, it won’t give me a cursor so I can’t even try to type in my password. It was pretty old and my brother was saying it was about time for a new one several months back so we’re just ordering a new one. Meanwhile, my father said I could use his (another old one which he rarely uses) and I did that for a few days. Then, yesterday, that one refused to start up and my brother had to fix it. Hoping it doesn’t decide to break again. X_X; So, I’m likely to be behind in replying for a while until the new computer arrives and gets set up.
Fortunately, other things haven’t been too bad. I’m still working on Ryuuren although it’s extremely unlikely it’ll be wearable by NYAF since there are so many different pieces and there are still supplies I need to buy. I did the cream colored undershirt last weekend and have been working on the cape this week. I’ve also worked out the pattern for the blue shirt but haven’t started sewing it yet since I don’t have green fabric for the trim on the sleeves yet.
And I took some of the birthday money I got from my parents and relatives and finally bought a Nintendo DS. (The last system I had was a GBA SP so it’s been quite a while!) I got the larger version that came out earlier this year plus the latest Harvest Moon game. ^_^ Haven’t played any of those in a long time due to not having a DS before.
