It Were My Birthday

And I did not receive a stapler.

Instead, these items:

Cupcake

 Long underwear (not pictured)
Two books. About dogs. (also not pictured. books or dogs.)
Gift certificate to Dick Blick Art Supply. (not pictured, but yay!)

Groovy two-way glove-mittens, made by guess who? Whom.

Glittens. (Better than mittoves, I think). 

Also, two nice phone calls, one each from Figure 1 and Exhibit A. Happy birthday to me.
