The title says it all. **Happy 25th, Audreykins!** I’d get her really, really drunk (and make her post ;)), but I’m poor, so I guess we’ll have to settle for having really _big_ pieces of cake instead. 😛 ---

Wishing you a very happy birthday. Every year, this wondrous day arrives; Always, this wondrous time comes. Congratulations! Congratulations!” I hope you have an awesome birthday, and that you get to celebrate it however you see fit, as this is your special day. 🙂 Let us know what happened! F\_X ---

Happy Birthday Audrey! I’m glad to have you within visiting distance too! I think this is an excellent reason for another Krispy Kreme run. ---

Wheeee! 😃 Thank you, **dantheman** , **Flamsterette** , **Scotti** , **JayLa** , **Cajun Man** , **rob** , and (last, but surely not least), **KKB** for the warm birthday greetings. 🙂 I had a very nice birthday. I went to bed late and slept in late. I did what I wanted (which means I didn’t do any housework or jobsearching). I got very nice presents from my parents and **KKB** , and I had a nice, filling dinner from Outback Steakhouse. (We’ll go to someplace fancier when we’re both working.) **KKB** bought me a delicious and cute little tiramisu cake, and we lit relighting candles and sang “Happy Birthday” to me. I’m not drunk, but we do have a bottle of vodka left over from **TVeblen** ’s delicious lemon and cream fettucine recipe. So it may happen. 😃 It was a great birfday… definitely a good reason for a Krispy Kreme run! 🙂 ---

Happy birthday. You don’t look a day over 24. I’d sing you the song, but technically it’s still under copyright (check the end credits of movies where the song is featured if you don’t believe me), and I don’t want to get stuck with a royalty fee. ---

Happy belated birffday, **Audrey**! You can run for Congress now! I’ll be hittin’ the quarter-century mark myself later this year. I don’t really fear it as much as I thought I might. ---

Quite all right, **Cervaise**. Truth is, we did such an unspectacular job of singing it last night that instead of charging us for having “sung” it, they’ll probably pay _us_ to not sing it ever again. 😉 Thank you, **Lux**. The “quarter century” thing sounds scary-- I mean, any time you can measure your age in relation to _centuries_ is generally baaad-- but it was no big deal to me. I’m pretty sure I’m still considered young and cute. 😃 ---
