A good birthday weekend is _________________________.
a) being forbidden to lift a finger
so, b) mega marathon of The X-Files
while, c) reading The History of Love for at least the 23rd time
resulting in, d) not showering for three days
and, e) consuming large amounts of blackberry pie.

Note that it also includes homemade waffles and hot dogs and fancy Italian dinners (are you sensing a pattern here?) and a bonfire and packages in the mail and three full days of great gray rain.
