turning 40 isn't so bad

Many, many thanks to redactrice and Melissa who threw me a tremendous birthday party last Friday! Decorations, prezzies, an entirely-made-from-scratch cake, and lots of good friends to help celebrate with.

Mr. bidger was there, looking for his buddy Drooly (our cat Guildenstern), as was blueinva (without his lovely wife, but I got to talk to her on the phone) who I introduced to Winning Eleven, a very fun soccer game for the PS2 that Melissa gave me at Xmas. Bryan and Cheryl, Jane and Rich, Peter and Glenda, Samantha--it was a great crowd. Several people played Carcassone; others sat around talking about RPGs or living history or movies, and we all enjoyed the wonderful food and drink that had been laid in by our hostesses.

Thanks so much to eveyone for the cards, the presents, the booze, but most of all for the pleasure of your company at what has got to be one of the best and most fun birthday parties soemoen's thrown me since I was a little kid.

My pleasure, birthday boy

I'm thrilled that you had such a good time. It was one of the funnest parties I've been to for a while. And it was certainly fun to put together. I never knew I could bake a cake or make frosting. And I now know where to buy some truly kitch party decorations. That's sure to come in handy in the future.

I'm sorry that I missed it! I was all set to walk out the door Friday evening but I just never seemed to make it. I know that's a lame excuse but it's true. I was rooted to my apartment.

I'm glad you had a good time. Happy birthday! :-)

Oh, I know the "rooted" feeling. Especially when congestion and badness with histamines awaits you at the other end! ;-)

Thanks for the good wishes :-)
