I was tossing and turning in bed this morning and couldn’t figure out why, when, miraculously, around 2AM it came to me…it’s chique s birthday!!!  Amazing, really, but there I was, laden with this knowledge.
Let’s all tip our hats to this fine, fair lady. Happy Birthday, Rachel!

              I’d be lax if I didn’t add my “cheers to you” to the bunch.
I’d better go eat a piece of that cake msrobyn made to see if it’s good enough for your birthday.
