Normally, I don’t find dinnertime (especially my dinnertime) fascinating enough to blog about, but this dinner involved BACON.
First, I had to prepare the bacon. I arranged six 3/4-strips of uncooked bacon in a weave-like configuration. Why weave the bacon? Because I’m fancy like that, that’s why. Also, I read about it somewhere. Credit where credit’s due.
I then cooked the bacon in the oven according to the package direction. Usually us hacker types don’t follow directions, but when bacon is involved you can’t be too careful.
While the bacon was baking (AHAHhahahaha,) I prepared two eggs:
You may be asking yourself “how did she get those eggs so square?” I’ll tell you– four years of graph theory. That’s how, bitches.
Finally, the bacon was done. I toasted two slices of bread while I marveled at the bacony glory:
Assembly time. Behold! Dinner:

I am 26 today. Allow me to chronicle all the ways in which my birthday was celebrated.
My coworkers surprised me with a huge thing of flowers. I don’t think anyone has gotten me flowers since high school, which goes to show how sad my romantic life has been. But thanks, coworker people! They’re very pretty.
My parents got me a pod coffee maker and a year’s supply of coffee pods to keep me neurotic and caffeinated, the way everyone likes me to be:
For my birthday presents to myself I got a bunch of bottles of perfume:
And a giant slab of wood (I plan on making a table out of it. Fuck you, this is what happens when you are raised on New Yankee Workshop:)
I also made myself a gianourmous steak, which will be washed down with:
Followed by the strawberry shortcake birthday cake my favorite WWII lovechild got me.
