bearshortyI had a very low key birthday today. I'm 36 now, the same age as my parents were when they came to US. Tanya and I came to my parents' house from 1st to the 5th, since Bear is working on the last meeting of the season this week. So it was just the four of us having a pretty regular day.
In the morning, my Mom pulled my ears and my parents gave me presents. I got the CD of the classic Broadway cast of "The Fiddler on the Roof" and a book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon Marina . My Mom already gave me a very beautiful white with red poppies summer dress a few months ago, since I had to try it on for size. And Bear sneaked in a cute card too (he's taking me to Broadway in a few weeks as a present). Marianna ordered me a few books (the new Gaiman one and the last Accursed Kings book) but she shipped it to my apartment without realizing I won't be there. I asked the neighbor to look out for the package, so hopefully, I will get it on Sunday. Fingers crossed. And Yeva gave me some make-up on Monday, which is perfect, since I never know what to shop for as I don't use too much make-up and she has a much better idea. And my grandparents gave me a nice chunk of money when we went to visit them on Sunday.
My Mom, Tanya and I spent the morning on the playground. It was cool today, but very pleasant. Had lunch, put Tanya to nap and read meanwhile. Then when my Dad came home from work, we had a small birthday meal of fresh salad, shrimps and stuffed cabbage. And then we had tea and cheesecake that Mama and I made yesterday and she decorated today with raspberries (she wrote out '36' with them) and zefir and blueberries for the border. Very tasty. And soon it will be Tanya's bedtime and I will read some more. A nice quiet day.
