Yes, it’s mundane and pointless and a grab for attention, but I don’t care! I just got home from dinner at my mom’s where a bunch of friends also showed up and surprised me. It was a great time. I feel pretty lucky that I’ve got the great friends that I do. A lot of them don’t really know eachother, but everyone was getting along great, just eating and hanging out. I actually had to leave to come and get ready for bed and do some work, and I left them all there hanging with my mom. Yes, life is good; plus I got tons of leftovers! I won’t have to cook for years. 🙂 Oh, and I’m 23 now. 50 is looking closer and closer every day… ---

Happy birthday! And believe me, 23 isn’t close to 50. 43 is close to 50. 😃 ---

29 is WAY to close to 30, which is what i’ll be in about 30 minutes (legally anyway, add 22.5 hours to be more precise). ---

Close to 50?!? Listen, young 'un, I’m old enough to be your _mother_ and I’m not 50… at least not for another 11 months… Happy b-day to ya! Don’t obsess on age - you can’t do anything about it and it’ll just make you crazy! ---

Happy Birthday to the both of you, \*\* Eonwe\*\* and **jwhee**!!! Sorry it’s a tad bit belated. I was trying to find a site that would send you birthday cake without degradable ingredients. It didn’t pan out, but I promise to catch up on my sleep tonight. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ---
