49 years ago today...

...around 0500, I arrived on the planet. Celebrated in a pretty low-key fashion at home by consuming steak & baked potato, both of which were good and large. Delicious caek was had at work but not on my account; the boss and his missus celebrated their 47th wedding anniversary today. Managed to eat most of my slices -skipping the frosting for great glucose justice - and wound up with a dinnertime reading of 92. Go me!

Also picked up S.M. Stirling's The Sunrise Lands, which has started off with a bang. Online stuff can wait; I'm going to bed early and do a bit of reading. :D

Happy birthday. Since today was Yom Kippur, I hoped you saved some of the cake for me.

Hanh? You're Jewish? Love your nails!
Thank you! I will owe you cake - if you and the family happen to be down in the area, I will gladly obtain for you the delicious Korean cake which is made of mangos and awesome.

Well, everyone else is, as yet. I'm the minority

You're never too old to convert. ;)

That is under serious consideration.

Happy birthday, fellow October baby! :)

Thank you! When does/did yours come around?

Mine was the second. :)

Down here, we start with the fall birthdays with my daughter, and then get: my father, my grandparents, my aunt and uncle, myself, my husband and his mother.

That's not counting my friends, of which I have at least four close ones who are born late September/early October, and one who shares a birthday with three other friends of ours!

Congratulations, a day late!

Hope it was full of win!

Thank you! It was indeed good.

Your post is timely - I was about to call and see if all was well or if you'd fallen off the edge of the world.

Edge of the world. Definitely. I keep trying to climb back on and whee!

That said, I am working on a few projects for fun (y'know, for kids!). It's not much yet, but check out stuckintraffik.com and stuckintraffik.com/DWPF.

DWPF is off to a good start with the 5-8 Club and Gyropolis. I've left comments - For The Children!
