I know, I know... after Hanukkah, Solstice, Christmas, Kwaanza and New Year's, you are worn out, tapped out, and needing to get ready to return to regular, mundane life. But gird your loins and wash the wine stains out of your party hats as best you can, because we have one more party to get through. Mine! ;-)
I promise we'll keep it low-key. No hard liquor, no Chippendale dancers... just a little vegan cake and some fun quotes about birthdays and that thing they cause called... (*whispers*)...
getting older!! ;-)

Like many women my age, I am 28 years old.
~Mary Schmich
A diplomat is a man who always remembers
a woman's birthday
but never remembers her age.

Birthdays are good for you.
The more you have, the longer you live.

The aging process has you firmly in its grasp
if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.
~Doug Larson
The best way to remember your wife's birthday
is to forget it once.
~H. V. Prochnow
Inside every older person is a younger person
wondering what the hell happened.
~Cora Harvey Armstrong
~Gertrude Stein
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.
~Garson Kanin
The older I grow,
the more I listen to people who don't say much.
~Germain G. Glidden
Do not regret growing older.
It is a privilege denied to many.

Thanks for coming to my birthday party! :-)

Happy, happy birthday!!! I hope you have an absolutely wonderful, perfect day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great day. Anything fun planned you can share?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Alicia
Thank you, Molly and Alicia! I appreciate your lovely birthday wishes!
ReplyDeleteNothing too special, Alicia, since I canceled the Chippendale boys. LOL I had my birthday dinner yesterday when BW made his homemade vegan pizza by request (I'll do a blog homage to his pizza one day soon, it is a thing of beauty!) We just got back from a walk with the dogs and in a few minutes we'll be enjoying your wild blueberry-banana-citrus smoothies while I open my cards and presents! Then a bit later, we're having homemade oatmeal bread and red lentil dahl. Other than that, dunno! But it's been a very nice day so far, hearing from friends and relaxing. I'm glad you guys stopped by! :-)
Happy Birthday crazy girl!
ReplyDeleteUs Cappy's sure are weirdo's huh!! I cusp onto the next sign so I've got a whole other thing going on too!
When I think of my best friends, they have been Caps. And I'm glad to call you one of them! XO
Happy Birthday! Sounds like you're having a great day! Looking forward to the Vegan Pizza Tribute! Enjoy the Dahl.
ReplyDeleteYay Birthday!!! Hope it's going brilliantly!
ReplyDeleteLots o' Love!!

Can't wait to read about the vegan pizza. A hot pizza straight from the oven is one of my absolute favorite meals. Although at our house I have to make it myself so I know you enjoyed yours more. ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great day,
Alicia
Izzy - So, you're a "Capriquarius," huh? ;-) So when is it? The 16th? 17th? Come on, Izzy, spill! :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd you're so very sweet, thank you for counting me among your best friends! I'm touched and honored! xoxo
AdventureJo- Welcome home! :-) Yes, it has been a great day! And the dahl was great, too! (Remember Safdar? It's my re-creation of his recipe). That'll be another future post, along with the pizza. I have so many blog ideas zooming around in my head, I'm going to have to live to be 100 to have time to post them all! (No problem, as long as the nursing home has WiFi). ;-D
rift - Welcome home to you, too! :-) It has indeed been a brilliant day, and I'm about to cap it off with some MRH Dream Blend tea and a movie! Yay, birthday is right! :-) {{{{Hugs}}}} & lotsa love back!
Alicia - you and me both on that favorite meal business! :-) I hope to do the pizza post sometime this month. I'm lucky, it's one of BW's specialties, and he won't even let me help! (Temperamental chef, lol) When he asked me what I wanted for my birthday dinner, it was a no brainer. "PIZZA!" Pizza, pizza, PIZZA!!!!" :-)~
Happy New Year AND Happy Birthday! Sorry I missed the party. You already seem to live a magical life so I wish you more of the same and then some! Love and hugs from all of us at the Wheekers clan! :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you, VW, you're very sweet! Happy New Year to you, too (what's left of it, LOL) Tell you what, I'll go ahead and have another birthday next year, so you can come to my 29th birthday party. (heehee!) ;-)
