Happy birthday to Ruth!



Hoppy Birthday to you
Hoppy Birthday to you
Hoppy Birthday, dear Roof!
Hoppy Birthday to you!

And many, many more. In reverse, if that's your preference!

I don't think I could fool anyone, what with the wrinkles, white/gray hair, and boobs down around my knees. 50 and forward!

And thank you. {{{{Trista}}}}

You'll be happy to know that my father included a small parcel of guilt in his card.

::sigh::

Oh my. Those parents of ours never fail, do they? I'm starting to get "your sister is letting us participate in planning her wedding" comments (Josh and I eloped).

Tell Jay to get you a lovely desert on us.

Not only do they never fail - they up the ante!

I don't think we'll be getting dessert because for some reason, my love thought that I would enjoy a cake from the supermarket.

It's the thought that counts, right?

Hmn. I've never really accepted that theory.

Had a millionaire fiancee (back in the day) buy me a gold engagement ring once, with a big shiny diamond on it. Broke it off with him within a few months of receiving it, gave it back, too. I hate gold and I really dislike large diamonds. Something we had discussed ad nauseum, as I never wear either. Now, if it had been a family heirloom, I would of course accepted it with dignity and appreciation, but it wasn't. He just wanted a trophy ring for his trophy (soon to be) wife.

Who the hell wants a lifetime of that nonsense?

I'm sure one of your local friends has a lovely cake somewhere in your future. If not, you let them now I'm terribly disappointed in them, will ya?

You'd think that after the many discussions we'd had as to why I wanted to make the wedding cake for Sadie and Trystn, that he'd have bought a clue. He also gave me a rose, and a card that made me cry. Actually, we cried all over each other because we're both sentimental saps.

Jay excels at intangible gifts. I couldn't ask for a more loving partner, nor a more generous one. But presents? LOL Not so much, usually. Not even when given strong hints. Hey, it's all good.

I can't picture you as anybody's trophy wife. Can't see you sitting still long enough to be put on a shelf.

Nah, though I certainly fit the marker back in my Long Island Jewish Princess days. Mum thought he was Jewish, my grandmother figured out right away he was Mongolian Chinese.

Trophy wife, bah. My sis called him the "Bon Bon Man". As in "marry him and eat bon bons for the rest of your life". He's now running the Progressive Party down in Florida.

If I'd gone through with that, I figure I'd be divorced right now with a fabulous alimony settlement, a harassed home staff and some insane community involvement that made people respect and fear me.

Okay, so it wouldn't have been *all* bad!
