Birthday Appropriation, Birthday Joy, Birthday Disappointment

So, I bought this purse for someone's upcoming birthday... but it was massively on sale. And it's sweet, hobo-esque siren song proved too hard to resist.

Now, it is my purse.

In other birthday goings-on, another birthday boy (who turned 6) became jealous since he did not receive the Italian leather hand bag he had been eyeing at Bark and Fitz. Then he noticed that the big purse came with a smaller purse that the manufacturer specified was for "change".

Someone thought not.

In fact, a certain pug realized that the small purse was perfectly constructed to hold a Scoopie and a fiber biscuit.

The next day, it was someone else's birthday. This person really enjoyed receiving Justice League Unlimited Season I.

This same sentiment was not present for this person upon receiving Knitting with Balls: A Hands-On Guide to Knitting for the Modern Man. He'll thank me later when he can make charming hand-knit sweaters, such as the one I made him that he is wearing in the picture.
