Happy Birthday To Me
A few announcements:
One, I did a 20-question interview on Under Construction that ranges from ridiculous to profound-ly ridiculous. Please enjoy, and while you’re at it, enjoy all his 20 Question Tuesdays.
Second, tonight by midnight Pacific time is the deadline to enter my signed book giveaway.
Third, today is my birthday.
You say it’s your birthday! (cue the guitar riffs)
I wrote a list — a list I read about some time ago on This Eclectic Life — where you write down the things you’d like to do by your next birthday. Since I’m 32 this year, I wrote a list of 32 things to do. I had planned to post the whole thing, but realized that half the things were a tad too personal and might not even make sense to you lovely readers, so I’ve decided to just put out some of the fun ones:
* Attend (is that the proper term?) a sweat lodge. I’ve always been fascinated by sweat lodges and still regret not taking the opportunity to do one when I visited Canyon de Chelly. When I learned about the opportunity to do them with someone in central CA, my interests were piqued once again.
* Go sky-diving.
Just kidding. I had an interest in sky-diving for a while, but the appeal sort of dwindled away. My zipline experience was sufficient.
* Go camping in Big Sur. My goodness, it’s just so beautiful there. Who wouldn’t want to camp there?
* Visit friends and family in San Francisco. A trip that is LONG overdue.
* See the wildflowers bloom at Anza Borrego Desert.
* Figure out how to shave the Notorious FOX myself so I can stop handing over the ungodly price they charge at the groomers (though after my first attempt, I realize it’s not as easy as it looks. Chow Chow = thick hair).
You’re going to cut my hair? What the…
As the list has only just been compiled, feel free to help me out with prioritization by telling me which of these you think would make the best post.

Happy BIrthday! and thanks for the interview! Let me know when I can get payback… er, pay you back.
????, Riley! (That’s happy birthday in Mandarin, BTW - said something like “sheng ri kuai le.”)
Have a wonderful birthday! I think the dog grooming post would be pretty funny . . . although I would like to see some photographic evidence of the desert wildflowers in bloom. Sounds amazing.
sky diving would make the best post. plus, I want to do it!
oh yeah, and…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Happy happy birthday! Hope you have a fabulous day!
Happy Birthday to YOU!!
(I think the dog shaving sounds like it has the most comic potential personally. And if I’m picking which one I want to do myself, I pick camping in Big Sur.)
What we wouldn’t give to be 32 again!

Happy Birthday From the Old Ladies!
I was thinking the wilfdlowers in Greece and maybe the Academy Awards.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Happy Birthday, from this blogger to you, Happy Happy Birthday, may you get a tutu! I’d like to hear about and see the wildflowers….
Sorry I missed this yesterday - I hope you had a great birthday! The list is such a good idea! I’m voting for the sweat lodge. How could a post about a sweat lodge not be amusing?
I absolutely vote for the sweat lodge too. How about shaving the dog in a sweat lodge, or is that just too much to ask?
Happy birthday and congratulations on being you! You rock.
Happy birthday to youuuu!
