My birthday almost snuck up on me this year, what with the laziness I've had camping out from the floods these past few weeks. I had originally planned to go up north and do some hardcore white water rafting with a collection of my friends, but unfortunately with all the floods, not only was coordination and transportation an issue, but most of my 'team' had evacuated, and it wouldn't have been the same.
I woke up Friday morning and was pleasantly surprised to be greeted with cake and presents from Suzy and her friend Sarah! I eagerly blew out the 8 candles, even though it took me 3 tries to blow them all out.
I opened my bag of presents to find an assortment of adorable goodies, including a silver compact, a box of truffles, cheese(!), earrings/necklace, nail polish, and hair cologne(hahaha...only in Thailand).
Still not over my jet lag, and having gotten up early for my birthday, I needed a nap that afternoon before dinner, so got in a good few hours' snooze before getting dressed for the evening. We had dinner at Tapas Cafe on Sukhumvit Soi 11, and OMG the food was amazing! And I think the seasoned potatoes with the tomatoes and garlic mayo were the best; I can't even remember how many plates we ordered!

David and Suzy
Darrell, Rebeccah, and Pookie
Had creme brulee for dessert, and Rebeccah gave me my final gift of the evening:
Today I went to the Thai Craft Fair and did a bit of birthday shopping of my own:
And my favorite item:
LOVE IT.
