Happy birthday to me!

My awesome roommate [livejournal.com profile] miss_chance posted this today:

Today is [livejournal.com profile] aroraborealis's birthday.

In honor of such, I'd like to suggest that each of you who know her well do something for yourself today that would make her laugh, smile, be proud of you, or just be happy for you. Think about telling her, and her tossing back her head and laughing and saying "That's Wonderful!"


She's right. That's a kickass thing for you to do to help me celebrate my bday. So do it, and then tell me about it, send a photo of you doing it, a video, a soundtrack, or whatever, either here, or the next time I see you in person.

Yes!

I'm lightening my earthly load, getting rid of stuff that weighs both physically and karmically.

I don't know you well enough to know what would qualify, but I'll wish you happy birthday and if anything interesting comes up, I'll tell you about it. :)

Thanks!

That's why I've been cooking up a storm!

If you feel like dropping by for Turkish and, uh, Mexican-ish food, you're most welcome to do so. :)

[identity profile] veek.livejournal.com 2007-07-29 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
D'oh! Sorry, I forgot.

Obviously I need to make this teasing up to you by making you food when you're back in town.

Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!


I did some very fun things last night that would totally make you proud of me. And they did, in fact, have a very specific soundtrack. Which I am currently burning to disk for you.

Video was not taken, but, y'know, sometime maybe.

And today, I'm kidnapping [livejournal.com profile] srl off to [livejournal.com profile] goddessfarmer's for nearly 3 days of housesitting and good times.

I miss you!! Come home!

Also, you're one of my favorite people in the whole world. (And not only because you're sexy.) My life is better because I know you.

[identity profile] aroraborealis.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you!!

Yay, I can't wait to hear about the fun things. I have a bunch I want to fill you in on, too!

Happy housesitting!

I long for home, but it is not in my immediate future. Soon, though!

My life is better because I know you.

There is no better compliment I could receive. I love you!

today i'm lazing about by myself, reading a book and eating good food, recovering from a very social and fun weekend. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Wonderful! And thank you!

I just got back from kayaking up and down the Mystic River with [livejournal.com profile] entrochan with a stop for a swim in the Lower Mystic Lake.
It was a great thing to do on a Sunday afternoon, and made me very happy.

Happy Birthday!

[identity profile] aroraborealis.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's so great! Hooray!

I baked some bread.

(By myself. Alone. First time ever. I took some pictures; maybe I'll upload them later.)

For water, yeast, and whole-wheat-flour, it's not bad.

[ I was toying with the idea of this anyway, and then this birthday challenge pushed me over the edge to really doing it. ]


[identity profile] aroraborealis.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow! Hooray! I'm delighted to have inspired the implementation of bread baking!

[identity profile] signsoflife.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
I ate a nice, ripe, juicy organic plum from the co-op.

Oh, and had really rip-roaring sex with Barry.

Happy birthday!

Today, we took the kids over to granny and grandpa's, for swimming, dinner and Fluxx (http://www.wunderland.com/LooneyLabs/Fluxx/), where:

* Quinn learned that it's okay to jump into the deep end as long as you ask a grownup first;

* Morgan and Quinn learned why you knead bread dough, and what happens when you let it rise; and

* Morgan learned that it's okay when the rules of the game change.

I am pleased with all of these events and thought that you would be happy with them all too.

I am, indeed! Thank you!

[identity profile] missionista.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
First, Happy Birthday!!

Second, it's been really nice getting to spend some time with you. We should do that some more.

Third, today I went to one of the best yoga classes I've been to in SF.

[identity profile] aroraborealis.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
First, thank you!

Second, I couldn't agree more -- it's been a treat!

Third, that's excellent! Hooray!

Today, given several choices of how to get someplace, I chose the one that included a half-mile walk along a beach. Happy birthday!

[identity profile] aroraborealis.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
This totally makes me happy. Yay, thanks!

it's not quite right yet, but today l and i set about to fix my hair color problem. pictures likely to appear later this week.

also i had lovely lunch with one wonderful woman (and l and pip) and lovely dinner with another wonderful woman (and pip), and now i'm well fed and content and listening to good music while the boy snoozes.

(it was an excellent your birthday. good thing you were born :)

[identity profile] aroraborealis.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Oh oh! Yay, fixing hair color problems! I can't wait to see!

I'm delighted that you enjoyed the day, which sounds entirely perfect; thank you for helping me celebrate it!

[identity profile] contessagrrl.livejournal.com 2007-07-30 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it is a wonderful reflection of who you are that someone would suggest that your birthday should be celebrated by your friends telling you things about themselves that would make you laugh (etc.). I'm honored to have met you, and to be getting to know you.

As for me, I spent about 10 awake hours gloriously alone this weekend, which I really needed. I read the entirety of Harry Potter and that inof itself is beyond a luxury to me. I needed that time and space. It brought me peace.

Also I nearly perfected a recipe for cheese-stuffed, grilled jalapenos, which I should make for you at some point.

Also, I can't quite believe that I posted that without including happy birthday! Sheesh!

I sheepishly apologize for my fluttery brain.
