Happy Birthday to Me! :)
Whoo hoo! I'm freaking 40! Now that I'm part of the 40-49 demographic bubble, I'm asking you for a favor...
I love when people stop by and yell out Happy Birthday. I've been known to let it slip that it's my birthday when I'm out...(well, I just flat out tell people at the counter ;). I'm not into birthdays for the parties or gifts (not that I turn them down...hee hee), but I seriously love having people say "Happy Birthday" on my birthday.
So, if you are lurker who's read this blog and never, ever comments, now is your time to come out of the woodwork and send me a birthday greeting! Yes, I'm full-on asking for birthday messages to carry me into my 40's! Also, I would love to hear where you are from too! (I was shocked to have so many international Bundt makers...I would love to get birthday greetings from far and wide! Squeal!)
I hit two bakeries this morning, and going out with friends for lunch and dinner. I'll report back on the fun!
- mary the 40 year old Food Librarian
P.S. The yummies are a mocha cake roll (of course, no frosting!) and strawberry mochi (filled with fresh strawberries and whipped cream) from J&J Bakery.
happy bday! found you through JustJenn and I'm in Long Beach.

ReplyDeleteIt's funny that you posted this special request, because I only saw your post title in my RSS feed and aside from the fact that I feel especially good today, I decided to come in here just to post on the occasion.

ReplyDeleteBest,
Robin from Sherman Oaks
