The government will close that day. Flags will fly at half-mast. Barbra Streisand will give her final concert...again.

While none of those things happened for my birthday,I did enter the last year of my mid twenties.

All in all, it was a pretty good day. One of the kids in my primary class made me cookies. I got sang to multiple times. I don't think my facebook page has ever had so much activity. I got cupcakes and a regular cake. And I got to have dinner with my parents, older sister and her family, and my nana. (I guess we were celebrating both my birthday and mother's day, but really, it's about me.) And as a pre-birthday celebration, Julie and I went and saw "Something Borrowed", which I found to be highly entertaining. Kate Hudson was perfect as a vapid, shallow human being. Great casting! Plus, who doesn't love Ginnifer Goodwin and John Krainski?

And Lego Pirates of the Caribbean came out this week, so that was my birthday present to myself! It's so much fun. Kat, you're definitely going to enjoy it when you come to visit! And we can do birthday things for each other while you're here since it's after mine and before yours! Yay for May birthdays!
