Yesterday was my birthday, and today is my mom’s: 1/11/11. I am now the age she was when I was born, which means she is twice my age today.

I feel older. For the first time in my life, my birthday is making me feel older.

But not really any wiser.

I want to say a quick thank you to all my amazing friends who wished me a happy birthday or took me to dinner, or bought me presents, or babysat my kids. I love you all. You’re the best!

After eating all those cherry scones yesterday, I knew I couldn’t handle a whole cake, so that one there is a vanilla cupcake I had in the fridge. I peeled off the wrapper, cut it in thirds, and then spread cherry jam in between the layers. I just did a quick buttercream frosting and then drizzled some lemon glaze over the top that I had leftover from the scones.

Be Sociable, Share!

   Happy, Belated, Birthday! I have to admit that part of the reason I like having your blog in my GR is that you’re one of the only other people I “know” who spells their name the way we do. We’re you named after the bionic woman too? In another coincidence, my birthday is today.
   Again, Happy Birthday. You have a beautiful blog and I will definitely keep reading.
