I’m going to have to do this soon about the last day of my (gulp) 30s. Can I swear?
You have not tried my chocolate chip cookies.
Oh wait… I think maybe you have. I think I brought them on a hike. Okay then, fine. Yours are maybe marginally better.
Happy Birthday! I hope you enjoy your last day in your 20’s. I also read instead of do the dishes. Miss you. Have a great day!
sending a big lonely hug your way.
happy birthday you.
ps-i think my chocolate chip cookies are better than yours too : )
Happy Birthday, bookworm! You know, you’re the one that got me into period dramas when we watched Jane Eyre. I still remember that we compared the dialog to that in the book and were so impressed at how faithful it was. Hmm. No wonder we were geeks in elementary school.
Not that I’d have it any other way, of course.
No way, my chocolate chip cookies are THE BEST! But I’m sure yours are good too
And I often feel lonely too, even though there are normally at least 2 people with me at all times. Hope the last 29 years were good, but that the next 29 are even better!

Hope you had a super happy birthday! I am so glad you have a great husband and two adorable little kiddos to pick apples with on your birthday:)
Lots of love from Cincy to Michigan!

pink? really? i didn’t know. and i miss you- tonight we went on a couples date night- it felt like going on a first date- it was a first date I guess, couples style. Can we live next door again? please? I don’t have an i-phone or a black SUV or a pass to the gym nor have I had my boobs injected (yet:) - and yes, it is true- I don’t hate Obama or think the government is trying to control us all. One of these is not like the other ones. We miss you guys.
jessie’s cookies are the best, i’m sorry to have to let everyone else down. i make good ones myself but jessie cookies are the very. very. best.
i’m glad you got married
when shall we see you all again? we miss you.
xoxoxo and happy birthday!
