Birthday

I'm 41 today. I feel every day of it. I'm very glad I didn't plan any sort of birthday party this year. What a weekend. I'm wiped out.

Much gratitude goes to [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick who was not only supportive and patient and sympathetic all weekend, but also found me exactly what I wanted for xmas and didn't get: A lightweight 100% cotton terrycloth bathrobe. He even managed to find one in pink. <3 He also gave me a ride to work this morning so I didn't have to endanger life and limb crawling up the hill to work.

All things considered, it's not a bad birthday. [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick requested another photo-a-day project, so I'm starting that today.

Piccies! and pink robes= a good day

I put on the robe after my shower this morning and it was delightful right out of the package. I hadn't even washed it yet! So perfect.

I'm hoping that another 365 project will give me some appropriate-hair LJ icons. These older ones are great, but wow, wrong hair.

Ah-yup, I have the wrong hair pix all over the place!
That's a great idea.

That [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick guy is pretty awesome. :)

And hey--so are you. I've been amazed to find that I feel closer to you than when I left Kansas City! Happy birthday, my friend, and may we all enjoy another year better than the last.

He is so awesome. I'm incredibly fortunate. We are both of us lucky girls.

And thank you! It's funny, when you've got significant physical distance between you and someone, sometimes that's more encouragement to interact however you can. And this medium is a very good one for communication with me. I hate phone conversations. Perhaps alas.

[identity profile] royal-spice.livejournal.com 2011-01-31 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps alas, indeed. *snerk*

Thanks for reminding me how lucky I am too. :D

Okay, so wishing you happy might not go over well, soo...

Congratulations on completing another trip around the sun! (you still get Happy Kiki, though)

Thank you! Here are Monique and Squig to dance with Kiki.

I miss you, btw. Sorry our schedules never mesh.

HAPPITY BIRTHDAY~!!

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2011-01-31 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooo. Cool and creepy icon. I seem to know that piece of art from somewhere...

[identity profile] theidolhands.livejournal.com 2011-01-31 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Favorite collection of short stories by Stephen King. ;)

[identity profile] clevermanka.livejournal.com 2011-01-31 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah ha! Yes. I thought it was a King cover, but I couldn't be certain. Night Shift, right?

[identity profile] theidolhands.livejournal.com 2011-01-31 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds right. It's the horrible metaphor of that particular tale too, echos life so harshly (althoguh they are all good). I HAD to read it as a child because of that cover.

Happy Scotch Tape Day!

Also Happy Birthday :)

I had to look that up to see if you were serious (http://hicards.com/platinum/bizarre/1-31.html). That's some damn fine awesome, there. Damn fine.

My birthday wish for you is a safe and uneventful walk home. :D

Best. Birthday Wish. EVAR.
