pay tribute!

It is now approximately 6 1/2 hours until I turn the big 4-6, blog readers.

Comments are open, as always, if you wish to say happy birthday, tell me how very much you've enjoyed reading The Adventures over the past year, remark how in dim lighting I don't look a day over 32, or raise a virtual (or real, because lord knows, I heartily approve of drunken blog commenting) glass in my honor.

And maybe later I'll give you some actual content!

Happy Birthday! Can't tell you how much I enjoy reading the Adventures, and even more for having been graced with the opportunity to be a very small part of them. As for dim lighting and 32, I've always thought the most beautiful age of a woman was 38, so, when you finally achieve your apparitional zenith and slay the world just by walking through it much as you already do, I'm gonna be ringside with popcorn and all sorts of indecent proposals. Tomorrow night I'm likely to have a chance to get to the Old Court, scene of your being refused service on St Patrick's Day weekend in an Irish bar, the evening of which was indeed one of the high points of my early 2008, and I'll certainly raise a glass to you and your youthful charm, and think about your anti-anxiety elixirs and how and when to wink and offer you medicinal dose(s) for your birthday.

Salud!

Appalling displays of public drunkenness? Who, me? hahahaha Blog readers: let me reiterate that the St Patrick's Day episode was all Mr Barma's doing; he kept sticking beers in my hand and it would have been *rude* for me to not drink them. Back me up here, it's my (almost) birthday. :-) :-)

Thank you for the b-day wishes, Mr Barma! You, as usual, rock. xoxo

Happy Birthday!!!

Recent observation attests you don't look a day over fort... urrrr... thirty-five. :-PPP

Actually, wasn't it only last winter that you got carded with me at PapaRazzi???? Srsly, if you told me 32 I'd have no trouble believing you. :-)

Hope you have many large, brightly-colored girly drinks, a great time today and a great, anxiety-reduced, goat-cheese manically happy year to follow!

xoxoxoxo

How about a glass of decaf sweet tea? Thats all I got, sorry. :)

*raises her glass*

Cheers!

Second try at a happy birthday wish (score Blogger.com 1, me 0). Unlike the other gentlemen, I haven't had the pleasure, save once across a crowded lobby at an event to be nameless here. There, 32 would've been a fair guess, and the lighting was excellent ;)

It says much for the entertainment value of the adventures that I so often neglect my own blog to read and comment here.

You've been as successful as a novelist at creating a complete and diverse cast, most of whom have the advantage of being real (I consider Julie doubtful, but they are otherwise real.)

So iechy da ac pen blwydd hapws da ti.* Not to mention "live long and prosper."

*Your health, and happy birthday to you.

Thank you, Mr Indemnity, Ms Crispix, and Uncle. You all also rock, as usual. xoxo

My plan for the upcoming year is for more goat cheese, continued
"anti-anxiety remedies", and less Julie. And dim lighting whenever possible!

Is that drunken goat cheese??

Its goat cheese thats been soaked in red wine for a couple days then aged. I had a few samples at Harry's Market here - it was delicious.

You rock too! xoxo

malevolent andrea said...

There's goat cheese with wine???!??!! This is another product (much like the bacon-scented cologne) that apparently yous people have been holding out on me about. Sigh.

:-)

No, actually, my Very Good Mood started the afternoon M2 and I had these extremely delish warm goat cheese paninis, which I then imbued with mood-altering properties. It was as good a theory as any.

John Holmes size logs of unripened goat cheese at Costco for only $4.49.

Enough to put an entire block in a Very Good Mood for less than one Tier 1 prescription payment.

Just sayin' ;-)

Costco and phallic cheese skeer me.

Srsly. :-)

Hey, it's their own damn fault for making phallically shaped cheeses in the extra long and wide size.

If they only made it round like a normal cheese the thought would have never crossed my mind.

Course, everything at Costco is extra large... except the price. :-P
