Ha! Thanks for sharing! And Happy Happy Birthday to one of my very favorite humans. 🎉 Wishing you the very best funniest birthdays ever! What a gift you are to the world and especially me ❤️
Truth be told, my first thought when I woke up was: “I wonder if Neola has already commented on today’s post?” And there you were! There you are! Thank you for being the first one to wish me Happy Birthday on the actual day . . . and for, wow, nearly two decades of friendship and love. xoxo
Two decades, wow! We thought we were already old when we met, at least I did. Two decades more mileage, laughs, losses, life. I’m truly so grateful for you, you’ve made such an impact on my life. Your stunning writing, your love and creativity and the gift of helping me find my public writing voice on Sassistas. And all the lovely people I met there and still have in my life. You’re such a catalyst my friend. In the next life we’ll have to live closer so we can get up to more shenanigans together.
Neola, your comment is such a beautiful birthday gift. And I can’t remember the last time I read or even used the word, “shenanigans.” Let’s do it, baby! 💪❤️
Happy Birthday, Sharon.
And you already know that #5 makes me laugh every time.
Adrienne — you know, I have a beret that Wendy gave to me years ago (if I remember correctly). Perhaps I shall wear it today set at a jaunty angle. xoxo
Happy Birthday again Dear One. Love all the cartoons. So you. So full of laughter. You are the best.
No, YOU’RE the best, Charlotte! And you send the BEST birthday cards! xoxo
Happy Birthday, sweet friend! My vote is for lip gloss changing lives. I remain on this quest and refuse to give up!
Kelly, when Adrienne and I went to Phoenix in February to attend her nephew’s wedding, we stopped by a CVS because I sensed my outfit was missing something. I had thought about it for some time; even prayed about it. Then it hit me: lip gloss. After further prayer, the specific brand and color came to me like a burning bush:
L’Oreal Paris Glow Paradise Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm-in-Gloss with Pomegranate Extract & Hyaluronic Acid, Ultra-Gentle, Non-Sticky Formula, Feathery Fleur, 0.23 Fl Oz
I was the queen of the ball at the wedding reception, not to mention, the surgical staff following total knee replacement surgery. Try it! xoxo
🎵Happy Birthday, dear Sharon! (I’m singing it) Happy Birthday to yoooou! 🎶 Thanks for the laughs and I’m sending wishes that laughter might find you throughout the year. It is both a superpower and a survival tool to help fortify us to do the work that must be done!
Thank you, dear Beth! I’m just now reading this the morning after my birthday. I like to celebrate the ENTIRE month, so thank you for extending the celebration! xoxo
