My Birthday + Some News
Chocolate Devil's Food Cupcakes photo by chotda.
My actual birthday is Thursday the 11th, but things are a bit hectic, so I'm doing my birthday post today. How old will I be? Well, Sarah Palin and I have the same number of years. I don't like her for a VP, but I do like how everyone keeps saying how young she is!
I've been in the mood for some cupcakes, so here is a cupcake slideshow from flickr. Happy Birthday to me!
As a birthday gift to myself and to all of you, I've finally organized all the recipes that I've blogged about here and on And Razzleberry Dressing. Now you can find all the recipes
Unfortunately, I also have some not so great news. My blogging may be rather spotty over the next few weeks. I'm having surgery on the 18th and will be in the hospital for several days. I'll be at home recovering for about three weeks and should hopefully be fully recovered within six weeks. Please say prayers or just send some good thoughts!

By the way, I met you in person a couple of years and never ever would have guessed your age. You look a decade younger than your chronological age.

happy birthday!! so sorry you will have to go to the hospital...it's not serious right? hmm...not a devil's food cake girl since i don't like chocolate...
i wish you great recovery and many happy years of bloggin! :)
muah
I assume you would have already divulged the nature of the operation if you wanted to do so, so I won't ask. I will tell you that prayers are going to be said for you every night until you tell us that all is well.
And, if you need anything while in hospital - I know we've never actually met, but Watertown is pretty close to most of them in this area, and MY WIFE works near government Center. We'll gladly bring you something. Just drop me a line, or give a call at home (617) 926-4640.
(By the way, the word verification for this one? HAWAII. I kid you not. That sounds like a good omen to me!)
A very Happy Birthday for the 11th
Hope someone makes you cup cakes.
Good luck for a quick recovery. I bet you will not be able to keep away from the computer while you are recuperating.
So look forward to catching up with what is going on in your life.
Cheers
Prayers and positive thoughts will be done in your honour.
Best,
LawyerChick
