Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

Growing Up

I have a full rich weekend planned, but wanted to announce that Saturday is the big day.

I will be turning 30 years old. While it's tempting, I don't think I'll spend the day sobbing uncontrollably into my pillow.

Instead my younger sister is currently a scant 40 miles north of me. Of course in California traffic that means about 3 hours away. So after I get a much needed haircut this morning, I'll be driving up there to pick her up. She's going to be the first relative to test out our new sofa bed. And she'll make my birthday more bearable. She better damnit or she's sleeping in the car.....

I'll be back to posting on Monday - definitely older, probably not much wiser.

Have a wonderfully happy birthday. 30 is great, don't worry. I promise. And 32 was even better. Many happy returns and many many more to come.

Happy Birthday!!!

The only one that has ever bothered me was 35, for some reason 35 was harder than 40.

Happy birthday! 30's not so bad...well, OK, it kinda is. I had a much harder time with 30 than I did 40, for some reason.

But with a little help - and some red wine and dark chocolate - I'm sure you'll be much more grown up about it than I was!

Happy Birthday! 30 wasn't so bad, and have a great celebration weekend!

Happy birthday, Wendy! Hope it's a great one.

Turning 30 wasn't all that bad for me, perhaps because I was expecting it to be worse. 32 and 34 weren't so fun, but luckily you don't have to worry about that (yet).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WENDY! No, really... The 30's are a good decade. Mellow but not rotten.
