The Twelve Daze of Birthday

Twelve (+ six) long stem lipstick-red roses
Eleven (+ ) tiny cards hidden all over the house
Ten songs on my new Natacha Atlas CD
Nine Red Sox to pull a rabbit out of a hat
Eight steps in Ben and Max’s scavenger hunt leading to new lavender iPod shuffle
Seven lovely cossies
Six yards of fuschia chiffon veil material overhead
Five + forty years
Four new silver Saroyan zills
Three darling children
Two crazy earrings
One first, best, true love

And a very happy birthday for me!

Happy Birthday Susan! I barely even notice my birthday anymore, so its fun to read about it still being such a big deal for you. (I don’t mean this in a back-handed way, I mean admire your enthusiasm!)

Do they make carb free cake? If not, I think you should have a slice anyway. 🙂
