Yes, today is my birthday. I am officially in my “late 30’s” Thirty-seven to be exact. (OMG, when did **that** happen? Where’s the Geritol?) Anyway, anyone want some cake? I have all kinds! Chocolate cake? Brownies? Carrot cake? Cheesecake? Cake and a beer? {I’m off to work, be back later for a real party!} ---

Happy Birthday! 😃 I’ll pass on the cake tho’… I just had three boxes of candy, and that’s more than enough sugar for one day. Unless you happen to be making Midori cake… 😉 Again, Bon Anniversaire **Kinsey**. Hope it’s a great one. ---

Happy birthday. I’ll take one slice of each kind of cake. Yes, I realize how big my ass is. Thanks for asking. ---

Happy Birthday! It’s my son’s birthday today too (he’s six). I’m a little caked out after this weekend (hordes of cake-fuled six year olds overran our house), but I’ll certainly take a beer. Yes I know what time it is. I’ll take one anyway. ---

Thanks everyone. Wow, just got home. Hubby came home early, said we were going out to eat, and when we got to the restaurant, there were about 8 friends there as a surprise. Quite nice! Balloon animals for everyone! And I brought home a doggie bag. Anyone want my leftover salmon? It’s quite yummy. ---

Hmmm. . . Just cruised on back today after a while off the boards, so here’s my tip o’ The Old Zappo Topper to you. Many happy returns to you on this, the day after the momentous anniversary of your entry into the world. Sure, I’d love a piece of leftover cake. Thankyaverrymuch. Yer pal, Zappo
