    Helen Thomas is kinda one of my heroes. Well-played, Mr. President. Well-played. And it is such a relief to have a kind, thoughtful, and respectful person in the oval office.
    Happy birthday, you crazy kids.

    Aww... happy birthday to a great Lady.
    Cupcakes? Freaking adorable. I always preferred cupcakes to cake, despite the fact that they are pretty much the same thing.
    Also, our president has both class and manners, and that makes me very happy after the last one.

    This, dear Jezzies, is how you show the world that you respect your elders and have a soul. Contrast his treatment of Helen Thomas to that of the Bush Administration. Biiiig difference, no?

    In reply to Crappy Birthday To Me, Crappy Birthday To Me
    I hate that I get so worked up over my birthday, so I try to internalize it and not mention it, but I also have friends who treat their birthday week as a national holiday and get pissypants if you don't shell out money to go to all of their brithday activities that week. My 21st was 9/11/01, so since then, I've tried to focus on reflecting on my life and how good I have it, because otherwise I am liable to cry from self-pity.


    Last year was the husband's 30th, and he's prone to pity parties on his birthday as well, so I threw him a surprise party when he came home from work. I'm hoping he does the same to me. I just enjoy having someone put as much energy towards making me feel special for ONE DAY as I do for them.

    Every year I throw myself a huge party with all of my friends and get really, really drunk, and eveyrone else pays for it. I do this now because I got tired of having sad birthdays where I'm alone and unhappy, and I realized that I'm probably the only one who gives enough of a shit about myself to throw a fabulous party for me.


    Every year, it's awesome because I make it awesome. I suggest everyone else do the same if they can...


    Happy bday, Tracie and Sadie! <3

    Today is my daughter's 25th birthday. We are thousands of miles apart and I managed to blow sending her birthday package in time for it to arrive by today. Only some of the gifts are even wrapped still. But her Dad got her card in the mail and I ordered a dress for her that arrived last week. So I hope she's having a good birthday anyhow.


    Maybe we'll talk later this evening. That would be good.


    Happy birthday, M!!!

    What, really, is a birthday? A designated day when we're supposed to feel special?


    Why, yes! That's EXACTLY what it is.



    What was I, I berated myself? One of these women who needs to be treated like a princess because she's graced everyone with her presence for another year?


    Damn straight. In a world that treats us like peons more often than not, everyone needs at least one day out of the year to get the prince or princess treatment.


    Sadie, I for one am real glad you have graced us with your presence for another year. Can I book you and your gracious presence in advance for this year as well?


    P.S. Do-overs on disappointing birthdays and other major holidays are TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE, in my book. Between improved weather and the new Star Trek, perhaps this weekend might be an auspicious time to reschedule? :)
