This evening, my friends took me to Unabridged Sustenance for a late birthday celebration.
We wandered awhile among the various food stalls. We looked in wonderment at the enormous cheese section (it being an international store, it was good cheese) while the shopkeeper, charmed by our obvious delight at so many different kinds of cheese, handed us morsel after morsel of delicious milk products. We rummaged through the cheese bargain bin, All Cheeses Under $3. We looked in yearning at the patisserie section, all sorts of pies and tarts, fondants and Unbirthday Cakes, mousses and éclairs, macaroons and candied apples. We looked in longing at the sushi, sandwiches, vegetable dishes, grilled meat, fresh fish, and so much more.
We each chose something different, and each tried each other's meal. For dessert, Bookish Friend bought me a chocolate mousse, and all of them including the diners at a nearby table (the man had a wonderful bass voice, might I add) sang Happy Birthday.
Crazy Redhead Mathematically-Inclined Friend gave me her old copy of Shadow Baby and a book about women and science.
I like days like this.

You are a very lucky girl to be surrounded by so much warmth and gifted with such obvious talent and intelligence, what's more in fields as divergent as chemistry and literature.
I suspect you're probably beautiful, too.
