At 11:36 AM, I turn 36 years old. I’m looking forward to 36—there’s no way it can be as craptastic as 35. I used to have a thing for odd numbers, well, 35 has cured me of that bias. Bring on the good stuff, even-numbered age.
Toby took the day off. And naturally, it’s like the coldest day of the year so far so I imagine we won’t be doing much of anything. Plans include: going to the gym together, because that’s what old people do. Getting some cupcakes and hopefully I’ll get to eat sushi. I love sushi. Although, eating sushi on the coldest day of the year seems rather stupid. So maybe I’ll opt for some good ol’ comfort food instead.
Anyway, thanks everyone who reached out to me after I wrote the dismal, previous post. I had had a day. But things aren’t all that bad and I’m feeling better. And I do thank you for your comments and emails. It means a great deal to me. And I will write each and every one of you. I promise.
Happy Birthday!!! I will be joining you at 36 in just a couple days. I think sushi is a great birthday plan, and one way you can warm up the meal would be to add shumai! And maybe miso soup? You could even call it mihow soup, because on your birthday you can say anything you want. Anyway, have a fantastic day and enjoy your cupcakes!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great, wonderful and warm day!
Happy Birthday!! Have a lovely, cozy day, that is the start of a new and fabulous year.
Happy Birthday! I second sushi too plus add some hot sake it’ll make your day warmer for sure!
Happy Birthday fellow aquarian!
Happy Birthday! if you don’t get to eat sushi I say you should eat 3 cupcakes to make up for it:)
Have a wonderful birthday! I think that sushi, even on a cold day, is a fantastic idea! Have a small bowl of miso soup to warm yourself and then you can justify the cold sushi.
Hopefully 36 will be a year that you can look back on with a smile. You’ve got a lot of people who have their fingers crossed for just that very thing.
Happy Birthday! I think you should eat anything at all you would like today. If you are worried about temperature, drink a whole pot of green tea with that sushi. :) Or the miso is a good idea too.
I hope this next year rocks your world!
Happy birthday! I’m sorry you’ve been feeling lonely. We all feel that way sometimes, particularly when we don’t work outside our homes (or local coffee shops).
I hope your friend is up and at ’em soon!
According to the Asian Zodiac, this is supposed to be a particularly lucky year for you. It’s the Year of the Tiger again and powerfully good things are supposed to happen.
Yeah, I’m a tiger, too. :)
Happy birthday! I hope it’s the start of a fabulous 36th year that brings you and your family health and happiness, and no more loneliness!
Any day is a good day for sushi…
Happy birthday!
Thank you everyone! Sushi it is! And I think I’ll likely lean toward the green tea tonight. Yum!
Happy birthday! I wish you the best birthday yet. This is going to be a great year!

Happy Birthday and many more! Hope you got sushi and comfort food and cupcakes and whatever else you wanted out of your day.
Happy Birthday!! Welcome to the 36 Club. Hope you have a great birthday. I love your blog – but haven’t been on it in months. Am wondering what happened to that homeless guy who was sleeping outside your house…
Happy birthday!! And I say: get the sushi!! My husband and I splurge on sushi exactly three time a year – our birthdays and our anniversary. So I always gets my vote….
And I hope 36 is great – I LOVED 36 ;)
Hope you had a great birthday! 36 has been meh so far for me (October), but that’s because I was saving all of the dazzle for you.
Happy birthday!
