Today at work I got paged: "Jeanne please report to the library." Which until a month ago was upstairs. And is now 20 feet down the hall from me. It's hard to remember things when you're my age. Next time, include directions, please!
I arrived to find that my thoughtful colleagues had put together a lovely low-key (key!) birthday celebration for me.
Here is what they provided:
See? No good comes from announcing to people that you are giving up sugar! Lovely homemade bread and hummus. Ya know, traditional birthday fare! And flowers! Thanks, guys!
Some of my favorite peeps! Photos: David K.UPDATE: You will NEVER believe who called me. NEVER! No, not the spinning instructor (oh if only). Stay with me here in reality. Someone from ... well, here's a clue:
(No not Men at Work, not Midnight Oil, sheesh!) No, even better than all of that hunky manhood put together, it was none other than: LBTEPA aka Now the plan is this! From MELBOURNE!! AUSTRALIA!
Called me! and left me a funny happy birthday message! She has the cutest accent. (I would pay a million dollars to be able to talk like that just for a week.)
LBTEPA, you my hero! It's time to NTBWSNBN'd, LBTEPA. It only hurts for a minute.

Happy Birthday to you. Glad to know you had such a great time. And that is a delicious food gift.

Happy Birthday my friend! You look awfully good in your photo on the beach. I have to say you look much closer to 20 than you do to 50! Must be that angelic life you lead ...
Happy Birthday! Homemade bread and hummus might not be the most traditional fare, but it's delicious and healthy. I wouldn't complain.
Tried to leave a comment but Google took me somewhere else....
How does one pronounce LBTEPA in 'Strine?

Happy Birthday!!
And while you're in Miami, it would be a good time to take a pic or two of your perfect feet. I am so dying to see what they look like. Come on, your throngs of fans are waiting. And, at the beach, everybody shows off their feet and most of them are far from perfect.
Happy Birthday, Jeanne! I agree, it should be birthday month, not just the one big day. Why not?
foot fetish guy: my feet are calloused and i have bunions, corns, and nail fungus. Plus, they're a size 11. And flat. OK?
Thanks for the b-day wishes people!
Sounds like you really are making the most about turning the big 5-0. You're a true inspiration to those of us not far behind. Happy Birthday.
