"Bibi" is older today than yesterday....

...but then, who isn't? Today though, I would have to add a new digit when writing my age. It's Groundhog's day, too. Behind this scrumptious chocolate cake I made (to be eaten later on with friends, plus a generous serving of vanilla ice cream), is me when I was one, and in front is a stuffed groundhog given to me by a friend.

I'd been tagged by Therese in Chandler and Soulbrush, so I am writing with some delay six random things about me:
  1. I love to shop at thrift shops and garage sales;
  2. I open books to smell the paper;
  3. When I'm feeling under the weather, I eat plain spaghetti with lots of garlic and olive oil;
  4. My favorite weather is autumn, cool and crisp, with the smell of burning leaves;
  5. I can be a long time alone, but not lonely;
  6. When I find a lost item, I go to great lengths to find its owner, much like Amelie Poulain.
So there you have it! Enjoy a piece of cybercake; wish you could really try some!
