Happy birthday to me!!

As my mom says, "Well, you're another year older, but at least you're still on the right side of the grass!"

Thanks to everyone who has sent birthday greetings, birthday wishes, and birthday prezzies, most especially [livejournal.com profile] rivertempest who sent me a mug with some gorgeous Severus art and the most incredible selection of teas I have ever seen, based on Supernatural, complete with special thingy for steeping!

Bobby Singer's blend has actual gunpowder in it. I'm a little worried about that one :O

And my dear Mr Psmith, who took me out to a NOMZ dinner and bought me the most lovely roses ever which currently have pride of place on the piano:

*squee!* You got it all! *phew*

LMAO, and no worries about the gunpowder tea:

It only has that name because it looks like gunpowder pellets. ;) It's actually very delicious! Mmmmm... tea!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST!

I can only imagine the snow and cold there (ours is similar except not as much snow). Why, it's a balmy 7 today, with wind chill of -10. Lovely, no? ;)

Yeah, when I first encountered gunpowder tea, I gave my husband a 'you expect me to drink this?' sort of look. Then he explained the origins of the name and it was all good. hehehe I like to blend flavors (try a spoonful of Dean with a spoonful of Impala!) and found that I like Anderson and Mycroft of my Sherlock teas. LOL I sent the Harry Potter teas to Toblass for her birthday, so I hope she enjoys hers as well.
