Happy birthday to me!!

I had a great, relaxing birthday. Matt always treats me right, but it was a nice, special day for me. Matt doesn’t usually like to go out for Mexican food, but I often crave it. We haven’t found much good Mexican food here in Japan, but there is Mike’s Tex Mex, which I like enough. So we went there for lunch. Yum!

All I really wanted for my birthday was a Japanese cake. They are SO delicious! I asked for it to say “Happy Birthday Melissa” in Japanese on it. Matt misunderstood and got “Happy Birthday” in English and just my name in Japanese. Not even really my name. When he went into the shop and ordered it, I guess he got flustered and mispronounced my name. In Japanese it’s pronounced may-ree-s-sah, but he said may-ree-ee-sah. Instead of doubling the s, he elongated the e. So my cake said Happy Birthday Meleesa! It tasted super delicious anyway, though!
