Not Just Another Day

So today is my birthday. I am 37 years old. It is also rent day which doesn’t seem fair. It is pretty nice to be having a nice healthy birthday this year, though. I had a family dinner on Sunday where my mom made a fabulous British Roast Beast Dinner. I am vegetarian but I love the Yorkshire pudding and gravy part. Mmmmmm. Everybody else gets the meat part. I am not a huge celebrator of birthdays so today will be spent at a doc appointment and then probably some sushi for dinner at my parent’s place again. The best gift of all is that America’s Next Top Model is on tonight. We get to find out what all the old contestants are up to. Next Wednesday the new season begins. I can’t wait.

Happy Birthday.
Isn't sushi made from fish. What kind of vegetarian would eat fish, tee,hee..

Happy Birthday Kranki...Yorkshire pudding and all.

I so want to watch America's Next Top Model, but I'm pretty sure we don't get it. :(

Happy healthy birthday, and many more! Tell your landlord (landperson in these days of something-or-other), perhaps you'll get a month free?

I found that the best part of being 37 was being able to say "I'm not old, I'm 37" at every conceivable opportunity.

Congrats on your twenty-seventeen birthday! (yup, stolen from a movie!) ;)

I hope the ones who stole your PIN and card number get caught or at least be punished somehow...

Enjoy your birthday!

Happy Birthday! May you acquire a giant frontal presence this year!

Squirl said...

Happy Birthday! Glad everything turned out for the best with your bank card, but crap, that sucks!

Even though it's not Friday, I think you should crush Yoshi's head to celebrate your birthday.

Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday to YOU
Happy Birthday DEAR KRANKI!!!
Happy Birtdhay to YOU!!!!

love, Easty

I wish you a year full of wonderful surprises!

p.s. according to astrology - yesterday was a super stinky day for pisces. Trust me - you were not alone.

p.p.s. please get a credit check done with at least two credit check bureaus. In the U.S. there are three big ones - but I'm not sure about canada. More than anything you want to avoid identity theft - and you want to make sure that didn't happen. Last year someone stole my wallet and used my atm card too - but I was more worried about them opening up new credit cards with my name!

Happy Birthday, you sushi-eating vegetarian you! (Sushi is the best. I think that's when I really knew I should read your blog all the time -- when you kept talking about eating sushi.)

I'm not here. said...

Happy Birthday!!!

Give her a hug for me, mmkay?
Thanks.

Happy Birthday!

And ANTM starts next week!? SO. FREAKING. EXCITED! I wondered how I was going to fill my depraved reality TV need with the Bachelor over this week and Project Runway over next week. Woo-hoo! Three cheers for scrawny lesbians!

Happy happy spank day!! I cant think of a better way to celebrate then sushi. Sushi is universal to all holidays and celebrations.

Hmm maybe I should celebrate it being Thursday.....

alan said...

So sorry I missed the chance to say Happy Birthday on the actual day, please forgive me and know that I hope it was as wonderful as you are and that you have a hundred or so more to look forward to!

I'm up for celebrating your birthday, even if I am a day late and two dollars short.

I therefore have an excuse to fill my face with sushi and wine.

Oh, alright, so you didn't say anything about wine. What, I'm supposed to eat my sushi dry?

Happy belated birthday! Just remember how things could have worked out with that iguana.

Hey, happy birthday to you! I liked being 37, as it seemed like a lucky number, so I hope it works out well for you. Any birthday which involves a Mom who makes Yorkshire pudding can't be too bad!

Unknown said...

Happy, happy Birthday! What better way to celebrate than cancer free with sprouting new breasts!

I hope your day was special!

Happy & cancer free birthday, that's so exciting!!

I LOVE Top Model. IT started out as a guilty pleasure, and now I'm out of the closet with it.
