(Which is why it was so appropriate to hand over the Make My Day award to you earlier this week -- how appropriate!) :)<BR/><BR/>It was great to see pictures of a day in the birthday life of someone I love so much. Doctor's office: ugh. Sickbay: ugh. Pink tiaras, custom birthday shirt, and e-mails to Christianne: YAY!! :)<BR/><BR/>I just knew you were the one sending our beautiful friends my way today. I got a string of birthday wishes and sat there thinking, "Did someone send out a covert e-mail chain or something?!" Of course, I knew it was you. (Thank you!) And of course, I was right. :)<BR/><BR/>For the record, I will publicly proclaim that I am aware I ended the last three paragraphs with a smiley face. I seem unable to resist! So here's another one for good measure. :)christiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278757714101308785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064478678164369045.post-69629364732783136282008-01-18T14:51:00.000-05:002008-01-18T14:51:00.000-05:00Thanks, Blue!!

Thank you so much for the well wishes...Hi Rebecca! Thank you so much for the well wishes. I think you're going to love 30 (especially if you manage to avoid getting the flu). ;o)<BR/><BR/>I just have to say to everyone though: on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday ... I did not look so pretty. I was fever-ridden & sweaty, literallly living in my pajamas, unable to stand long enough to take a shower. I looked something like a cross between Caspar the ghost & Medusa with my crazy hair. Sadly, there are not any pictures of me on these days. Shoot! ;o)<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Carl! People do need to learn to stay home when they are ill. I am all for sharing, but I have my limits!!<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Chloe! I am happy & honored to be in the ranks of the 30-somethings. At first I was not looking forward to leaving my 20s behind (as if I had a choice about whether or not I got older) and now I am SO over that! ;o) It's going to be a great year! And I do have the best family in the world. They really come through!<BR/><BR/>Hello, sweet Bella! It was an icky start to the day, but it was redeemed by soup & love. I can feel it, too. I'm thankful for you being here to see with me how things unfold.kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789771023962578029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064478678164369045.post-76953606124309896352008-01-18T11:37:00.000-05:002008-01-18T11:37:00.000-05:00Happy belated!
