Life, the Universe, and Everything

Forty-two. It's not the answer to It All, it's my age today. Glad to be here, but a little disappointed with myself for not achieving some things I thought I'd have done by now.

Time for cake.

Happy birthday!

Thank you!!

Happy birthday, and what kind of cake?

I have to say, I've found 42 a bit boring as numbers go. I definitely prefer odd numbers over even, and I'm looking forward to returning to prime status (43, woo!) in two months and one day.

Thanks! I bought a chocolate cake with whipped cream icing from New Seasons, although they got it from someone else, at the moment I'm forgetting who.... Terrible splurge, but oh so delicious!

Funny -- Maggie saw your icon picture and thought it was me. ("That's you," she said. I said "no, that's my friend P." "Well, where is she?" she said.) I guess there are some similarities, but enough to fool my own kid? Hmmm....

Hi-pappy Bir-thuthaday 2 U!

From someone who turned 51 in July, who says, it just keeps getting better.

Oh, thank you!

Happy Birthday!

A while back I had a thing about what I'd accomplished and I asked others to join me. It was interesting to see what people had really done. You may not have achieved some things you thought you should have by now, but I'll bet you've done a heck of a lot.

Thank you!

I think some sort of assessment is in order. I've done a lot, but not so much what I set out to do. I'm not going to spend a lot of time crying about it, but sometimes regret sneaks up on me, you know? Looking at where I am and where I want to go from here is more important.

Happy Birthday, ya whipper-snapper! (From the grand old age of 43.)

Ooh, the voice of experience! ;)

Thanks very much. It was a pretty good day.

Happy birthday!! (You're still younger than I.)

[dampscribbler.livejournal.com]

Thank you Kelly! Pretty pink cupcakes! :)

Happy Birthday! (You still have two more hours to be queen!)
And I bet there are a lot of things you've accomplished that you hadn't planned on. :)

Happy Belated B-day!

[dampscribbler.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Are you feeling better?

[robertainnc.livejournal.com]

Marginally!

(I figured as I was all ! on my last comment I'd keep with the theme)

Actually yeah, I'm feeling better. Thanks for asking.

Happy birthday. :-) Hope you enjoyed the day.

[dampscribbler.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I did, although I'm enjoying other days more. :)
