well, it's not mine too but it's the woman across the street's birthday. I just heard her children yelling, "Happy Birthday Momma! Happy Birthday Momma!" as she drove up and got out of the car. Cute!
And it's one of my co-worker's birthdays.
But most importantly, my little sister, Misty, is celebrating her birthday. I got her this gorgeous gold-dipped hummingbird necklace from one of my new favorite jewelry sites, Dogeared.
Some other interesting people are celebrating or would have celebrated today:
Sir James Barrie (Peter Pan)
Howard Carter (discovered Tutankhamun's tomb)
Billy Joel (will give you a heart-attack ack ack ack ack)
John Ashcroft (key man in rescinding many U.S. rights)
Apparently it's also Euro Day.
And in 1950, science fiction author, L.Ron.Hubbard, first printed Dianetics, much to the delight of celebrities and alien lovers everywhere!
You learn something new, every day, huh? Including on someone else's birthday! :)
Well they would have said that last Thursday when Joe turned older. I made a cake for him yesterday, and also snagged day 23 of Project 365:
Some pics...of friends Ryan and Carol, Martin with Joe, the pate, olives and chorizo, Jess in her amazing super cool furry hat, the cake, the very yummy rose champagne we drank and since I missed a picture of the cake with the candles, Ryan created a fun substitute with the rest of his cake. Joe's cousin Jeff also came but I don't have a great picture of him in the batch.
