Birthday Gratitude

[plumtreeblossom]

Many, many thanks to the wonderful friends who turned out in spite of the pending snow to help me celebrate my birthday (a few days early). We ate dinner to the sounds of a cool blues jam that made me homesick for band singing, and when an unexpected high cover charge for salsa dancing drove us out, we took our toys and left. Special thanks (and a very,very,very big hug) to pheromone for opening her home to us once again on a cold night (I'm cooking you a vegan dinner soon, girl). Also to desultor for her lovely card that let me know I'm dispelling fears about aging for my li'l sistahs, and to co-birthday boy heliopsis, who gets it that you're only as old as you decide to be.

Thank you all, my sweets!

You already made me an yummy and beautiful cake! (Two of them, even.)

But I won't complain about dinner, either. :) *hugs* Happy birthday!

sorry for being such a loser. i made the miserable decision to give up caffeine this weekend, and i'm still feeling the pain. i hope y'all had a wonderful time.

Happy birthday to you and heliopsis! I'm sorry I couldn't make it, but I'm glad you had a good time. Cheers.

We told you all along! You're not getting older, you're just getting more gooder. I'm glad you had a good More Gooder Day, and I'm glad I had the chance to help celebrate it with you.

we couldn't make it, Roxanne's still not 100% from being sick so clubbing wouldn't have been very healthy. but happy party vibes were sent!

How could energy as young as yours ever give way to the numbers imposed by mere humans. It's like believing the world is going to end on an even number. Some people just can't ever use up the numbers in the right order, I'm guessing that you were 31 when you were 12 and will be right there with me being 12 when you're 92. As long as we get them all in when we leave, who cares in what order. I'm glad to hear all went well.

Thank you everybody for your sweet wishes!!

It's funny to think that this time last year, I didn't know any of you. And now you all mean so much to me! You've all made a tough year so much nicer by your presence in my life. :-)

Sorry I couldn't make it, but I'm busy giving your love to Edinburgh. It sends it right back. Happy birthday!!!
