today I am 39. clearly, my hat is enormous. but after 39 years of living, I think I've earned the right to wear this sort of hat. today I'm going to bake the red velvet cake. I'm going to make a new list. and I'm going to go roller skating.
Happy, Happy Birthday to our shining, brilliant and warm-hearted Hula Seventy! Reading your blog and watching your Flickr always, yes always, leaves me feeling inspired, nourished and 'all's right with the world' happy.
OMG. I want that hat. I just returned a knitted one because I knew there was a better one out there someplace. And HERE it is. Would you mind sharing where you found it?
My birthday (43!) was last week, but funnily enough today I posted a self-portrait too. And in a couple of weeks when I get my skateboard for Christmas, I'll see you out there on your roller skates.
(Your red velvet cake looks delish, I think two bottles of food colouring is absolutely appropriate, and I too have old stained recipe cards that bring make memories every time they emerge).
That's a HAT! Happy, happy birthday to you! I'm certain you'll make this year just as ALIVE as the last :) (And hopefully you'll document the adventures you're sure to have for our benefit, too!)
merry belated birthday + happy holidays! did you get to skate? I'm a skateaholic :) ice + inline, rollerdisco, short track + long distance :), indoor + outdoor. so I'm with you on celebrating by skating
Love this! I think I need to join in on the list again this year too. I think it'll be the third year of copying you! Happy birthday. Don't be sad about 40, just be glad that you feel and are so much younger at this age than you probably ever imagined you would be.
happy birthday beautiful lady! so glad to know you!
