Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday. As you can see, I'm finally turning 5.

Tonight Ralf is taking me out for dinner and the new Harry Potter movie. AND he got my blog printed as a book! It was over 300 pages so technically speaking, I've written a book over the last year. If only it had a plot.

You too can get your blogs bound here or else do what Ralf did and use their software to extract the blog content into a .pdf file, then print and bind it for free at work. Which means I get a real grown up dinner with my movie instead of El Balazo take out.

This morning K gave me a 20 eurocent coin she mooched from Ralf to buy myself something and with a bit of additional prompting, a rather nice picture of a mermaid in the ocean that she colored. L gave me nothing but her everyday cuteness, although she did comment that it's not much of a birthday without a cake.

Happy birthday to me! I can't wait to celebrate tonight with Ralf, Harry and Voldemort.

Oh, and here's my favorite quote of the week from Debbie: "I'm thinking if we could somehow tie environmental issues to that thorny issue of extramarital flings, our elected officials alone could reduce our country's greenhouse emissions enough to save the polar bears."

Well said.

  1. I adore your cake!!! Happy Birthday. The boys and I saw Harry Potter yesterday. There were a couple screamers in the crowd!! Kinda funny. They had an almost blood curdling scream whenever Harry got hurt.

    I bounce back to blog comments through my email. Your emailed comments do not have your blog site highlighted to click back. It might help you get more comments if you changed the settings under customize.

  2. I left you a note also back at my blog. I can link back from your comment but not through my email of your comment. I set up an email account using hotmail that shows me every comment that gets posted on my blog. Then, I can reply back to people individually if they had a question and i keep track of bouncing back to everyones blogs this way.

    I sometimes just read blog posts. But, if someone leaves a comment.... I definitely go back to read and to comment on their blog. I think you will enjoy being able to get comments back from us individually.

  6. Happy Birthday -- I posted a different comment but somehow IE doesn't like your blog (or me) and it always gives me an error.

  7. Nice!! It worked. Think about adding your email for everyone to reply back to you on the email. Right now it says no reply blogger without your email in the address bar.

  11. Hey, Happy Birthday! What a great present he got you! When you're down at the bookstore doing signings let me know. :)

    Hubby and I wanted to go see Harry Potter at the theater but have been unable to talk my mom into babysitting for us. She is too smart for us!
