Happy birthday, dear MEE-EEE. Happy birthday to me!
It's midnight here in Brooklyn and so officially my thirtieth birthday. Woohoo! Thanks, Mom! This life stuff is pretty cool.
I finished the gift ChicKami earlier tonight. Here it is:

I'm happy to have an FO kick off my thirties. Didn't plan it that way, but I like the way it feels. How bout a decade of goals met, plans fulfilled, all that good stuff? Thirty is going to be a big year. Things are good. Really good. So much possibility. It's exciting.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
The 30s rock, girl, I can tell you that. Welcome to some real fun! Whoo hoo!

Posted by: RachaelHAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Rachael's got it: the 30s are awesome. You can finally wear that world-weary knowledgeable look and get away with it.
Where in B'lyn are you?
Oh, and thank you so much for coming up with Grammar Avengers Who Knit: GAWK. Rhymes with rawk. That RULES.
