It’s All About ME (today, at least)
So normally this spot is a place for self-deprecation, not self-aggrandizement. But today that is all changed, because–
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!
I am 45, and pretty okay with that. A few weeks ago, we had a Dance Party Fiesta to celebrate the birthday, and my nearest and dearest came over to the house and celebrated. Here’s a picture of me with the Super-Smart Lawyer (the female one) and frequent commenter Hatrack (the male one).

The party was fabulous, with loads of dancing fun. The funniest part–which the Super-Smart Lawyer’s Awesome BF noticed, and made due fun of–was that every time a new song came on, I gushed, “Ooh! I love this song!” Well, duh, Megan, you assembled the entire playlist, and of course you love all the songs.
I am still in Minnesota, so the Thoughtful Spouse texted me last night, and then called me first thing to wish me a HB. He sent a card, too, which I got yesterday. Tonight the Minnesota relatives are bowing to my demands and we’re having steak for dinner. Yum! And mushrooms in wine sauce, double yum!
Okay. Tomorrow, back to insecurity and angst. Today, we’re having birthday cake.

As I type this comment I am listening to the talented Mariah Carey sing FANTASY and having a breakfast dance party in honor of your birthday.
Hope you enjoy your steak dinner and enjoy a great year ahead.
Best wishes from Alaska (Don’t worry, we won’t send you Sarah…)

Aw, thanks for all the love, guys! And especially to Kwana’s folks, who traipsed on over here.
I just read and had a nap. FTW!
