No blog post today!

Today is Labor Day. Plus, yesterday was my birthday and I’m getting really, really old. Don’t you think I deserve a day off? Yep, I do too.

See you tomorrow!

    >Happy B-day!!! We celebrated my son's 25th and my daughter's 21st on 9/7 – they share the same birthday.

    I posted on my blog about my Cake Wreck šŸ™

    Hope your cake was prettier.

    >Rachelle, I just turned 41 on Wednesday, so we share our birthday weeks. Hope it was the best one yet! Were you born on Labor Day, by chance? I was (1968). šŸ™‚ Blessings in the coming year.

    >(psst, Rachelle, if you want anyone to believe you're really old you're going to have to come up with some worse photos of yourself)

    Happy Birthday again!

    >The prophetic "they" say growing old is only in your mind. That would explain my dementia.

    Happy Birthday, Rachelle! Here's a wish for many more.

    >Happy Birthday! šŸ™‚
    Please don't say you're old. I'm 26 and I was hoping that when I hit 30 I won't feel old anymore, that I'll be used to not being a teenager. LOL

    I hope you had a wonderful day. šŸ™‚

    >Happy belated birthday, and Happy Labor Day!

    Others would treat those as two separate days off, so enjoy!

    For me, your tips on writing exercise the dead meat I've had locked away for years, underutilized. As a result, I'm younger than when I first started following your blog. Thanks for the elixir!



  50. Swapna Raghu Sanand on September 7, 2009 at 1:05 AM

    >Great to hear its your B'day. Of course, you are not getting old. You are younger than all of us because your ideas and creativity keep you evergreen and young.

    Many, many happy returns of the day. Enjoy your birthday and have a great blast.
