today is elizabeth's birthday. hope she has a good one.
i got up at about 7:00. i wanted to make sure i was up before e so i could get the coffee started and display the presents and cards and such.
e. came down at about 8:00 and we had breakfast

elizabeth wanted her birthday lunch from olive garden. so we went at around 2:30.
lunch
salad
bread sticks (3)
steak gorgonzola and linguine with spinach
iced tea
capucino
we were both so full from lunch that we never had dinner. we went to borders after feeding the cats.
one of the gifts e. got was The Canterville Ghost, 1944 version with Charles Laughton. we watched that in the evening. i've always really liked that version of the story. i love the scene where the u.s. soldiers go to the village fete and take over the entertainment program with le jazz hot. dancing. ocarinas. kazoos. what a blast. Robert Young. Margaret O'Brien.
Elizabeth shares her birthday with Quentin Tarantino (this is a really funny coincidence him being her favorite director!), Michael York (who we just saw in Orient Express last night), Tony Banks (of Genesis), Nathan Fillion (Castle), Mariah Carey, and Bart Connor.
