It's 12 of 12 time again. (See Chad Darnell's blog for details.) And it's my birthday!! It wasn't a fancy birthday with lots of activities and different locations, but a lovely day nonetheless.
Meet Lexie, the newest addition to my household. It's this year's birthday present to myself.

The birthday cake is baking in the oven. As always, when things aren't supposed to go wrong, they usually do. So, the cake crept out of the pan. lol

While I'm waiting for the cake to finish baking, I do what I've done for most of the days recently: study for my next big exam a week from today...

IM'ing with Helen (fellow 12 of 12'er). She stayed up past midnight (her midnight) to wish me a happy birthday. :)

I was awoken by an unexpected phone call. Yes, it's my birthday and phone calls aren't really that unexpected, but I didn't expect a call from this specific caller... After breakfast, I went to the copy shop, then to the library and did more reading once I got home.

Finished setting the table for tea and cake with two of my closest friends who arrived shortly after.

We went on a little shopping hunt to buy an adapter that connects my PC screen to Bert, my MacBook. The stores we checked first didn't have one, so we went to a third shop and although they had already closed they sold us an adapter. This is one of my friends doing the actual connecting work.

The inauguration of the double screen: watching an Alias episode with Helen - the video on one screen and the chat window on the other.

This was my birthday. :)
The theme for this month's bonus picture is "unexpected". I don't have an idea yet, but maybe I'll add a picture later on.
