Crazy Happy Birthday!
It just goes to show you never know. I was planning on a really low key birthday full of meetings and rehearsal and maybe squeezing in a trip to the pool this afternoon.
I should have known better. I woke up to an Instalanche here, and when I walked into my class, I found this:
My students conspired against me!
What's more, they got me a card and TWO cakes. And they sang Happy Birthday twice. I was floored. I hope they don't think this is going to raise their grades....
Here's the Chocolate Oreo Cake:
and the Fruit Tart:
What a great birthday morning!
That's so sweet! :)

Hope your day continues to be wonderful.

Posted by: vw bug at November 12, 2008 10:12 AMHappy late b'day, Cal tech girl. I'm late because I was celebrating 11/10 with my wife and the Marine Corps at MAS Yuma. My grandson is stationed there, and had a four day weekend. Fun.
