But It's My Birthday...

[mmerriam]

careswen offered to take me out to dinner tonight, and I wasn't going to go. Too tight to spend money on myself and all that, but...

So far today I've:
Washed and dried 5 loads of laundry.
Washed 2 loads of dishes.
Received a rejection on a story.
Been told, "no" by 5 different places where I've applied for a job.
Cleaned up a pile of cat-urp from the carpet.
Slip and fell on my way to the mailbox, only to remember it's President's day and there's no mail.

I'm feeling a little battered.

It's my birthday, damnit.

So if she still wants to take me out, we're going.

Well,

I'm sorry it hasn't been going well thus far, but I do hope you have a better rest-of-the-birthday and a wonderful 42nd year!

Re: Well,

Thank you!

Yes. Go. For definitely sure.

The cat should not be allowed to urp on your birthday. That's just not fair.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

It was so unfair. But I have satisfied my cravings for onion rings.

Yeah! Go out, eat yummy food, have fun!

*happy birthday* :)

Thank you!

Aww.. Wasn't that lovely of the Reverend to make you a gift.

Definitely go out tonight. And have something REALLY fattening. Calories don't count on your birthday.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

I just ate waaaay too much fried food...

[tiny-wings.livejournal.com]

And if you've had a bad day on your birthday I'm sure the calories like, um, cancel calories eaten on the day before :-P

Happy Birthday.

Geez, you deserve some fun after all that today. Go. Enjoy.

I just ingested far too many onions rings. Life is better.

Happy birthday. Nice icon. :-)

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Thanks and thanks!

After the day you've had, you should definitely go out on the town!

(Happy birthday, BTW) Live it up!

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

We just returned from eating out. next, a movie and some on-the-couch time.

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good plan...

DUDE!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

(Now stop feeling battered and enjoy yourself!)

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

How could I feel battered with all those ferrets making cute faces?

[careswen.livejournal.com]

Of course I would still take you out to dinner! I'm glad you let me.

Though, as your patient bride, I feel obligated to point out that the first two items on your list were Your Own Damn Fault. Housework could have waited until tomorrow. Be nicer to yourself on your birthday!

But the laundry monster was slithering across the floor at me and the dishes were making a noisy racket...

Happiest of Birthdays!!!

::hugs::

Hope your evening was brighter than the rest of the day.

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It was a good evening.

[palinade.livejournal.com]

Happy Birthday! Hope you and Ms. C went out!

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

Thank you and we did!

Hippo Birdie Two Ewes! I hope you went out and celebrated in style--you deserve it.

I've reached the stage where my motto about birthdays is, "Keep celebrating but stop counting!"

[mmerriam.livejournal.com]

THanks for the hippos, birdies, and ewes!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I hope I'll understand what Douglas Adams was talking about when I turn 42...do you?

Be well, and may your Path be the Light

I think understanding Douglas Adams only happens on your deathbed, therefor not giving you any time to explain why...
