It was such beautiful weather today! Congrats on selling your condo. That is quite the accomplishment now-a-days. I love your blogs and just wanted to come out and say that I read and love them!
ReplyDeletewe've missed you!!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday, may you have a year filled with wonderful things!
it´s good you´ve been having cake, someone once told me that you should eat loads of sugar on your birthday so you'll have a very sweet year ;)
Glad to see your list, and you were in my dream last night. Tap dancing in a subway tunnel, asking me how exactly we used to do that "time step." Weird.
ReplyDeleteThat is way funny. And weird. I think I still have the time steps down pat: ball change, hop, shuffle, step, flap, ball change. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your celebration post.. and the red shoes below. :)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday!!
ReplyDeletewe are glad you are back. it was a gloomy blogging world without you.
so glad you're back girlie...i have to say i was getting a smidge worried ;-(
ReplyDeleteYou have been missed! I just hate it when my favorite writer's lives interfere with my blog-reading...
ReplyDeleteHappy B-day, Ali. The cake is of the devil, but sometimes we all gotta indulge every once in awhile. Hope everything goes well when you move to D.C.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! So glad it was Devil's!
ReplyDeleteYes, CJ is gone (but will be having an open house when he visits in a couple weekends...he got whisked away oh so fast!) AND my life SHOULD be in boxes, but it's not. I don't know where to start!!!!
Happy Birthday... & happy list... love your things to celebrate!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Beginning a fresh new year is so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you are back. I've missed you! I switched jobs, I'm now the Marketing Director at ProvoCraft...so I'm very busy and have been a boring and uninspired blogger. I'm a disgrace.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you were able to celebrate with cake!
ReplyDelete(Also, I have your b-day present. Must give it to you. :) )
I've missed your posts! But since you've been busy eating cake, all is forgiven :)
ReplyDeleteWe miss you when you're away!
ReplyDeleteOh Ali! Happy Birthday and Congratulations on the sale! Best, Denise
ReplyDeleteHi, I just found my way here through Red Robin Land. What a lovely blog and gorgeous photos! I hope to visit often.
ReplyDeleteHappy b-day Ali! I hope things are going well for you!
ReplyDeletecongrats on selling your place!
ReplyDeletecongratulations on selling your condo Ali...that is so exciting!
ReplyDeleteand I'm glad you mentioned the cake so many times....it sounded so good.
I thought about you many times on your birthday and even indulged in some cake myself. By the time I picked up the phone to call, I realized it was like 1 am there, but I should have known you'd probably be up anyway...
hope you had a great day.
Congrats on selling your house, sounds like exciting time ahead...looking forward to following your next steps.
