Yes! I’m back and pretty much not sick! Thanks to those of you who checked in last week to make sure I was ok! I didn’t do the blog last week, but I offended some of you Queens folks with my little e-mail.
I do apologize, but we went to that terrible Citi Field last week to watch the Mets lose to the Phillies. It was in the middle of Flushing and that’s just not the place I want to watch a ballgame. Thank you, all for pointing out all of the great things about Queens that I was unaware of. I’ll check them out when I go back on Nevuary 31st.
Since we missed a week, we’ll run this in a recap format.
First let’s start with the birthdays! Happy Birthday to:
Lynne P.
Chris P.
Sandy B. (Tyco)
I have to say hello to Rosa again ‘cuz she is the most consistent responder to the blog. You have to love her.
I almost had a great lawsuit on my hands when Jen’s dog tried to attack me. Luckily I was able to avoid that little bugger.
Now, I’ll acknowledge the people who wished me a happy birthday this year. As we learned last year, the proliferation of social networks has increased my birthday visibility so I have a lot of people to thank. So here we go:
Siaka
Adrian: You were EXACTLY ONE WEEK EARLY and you then got it right
Cleo: You were also very EARLY!
Kia
Satirah
Asia: I have confirmed with Rachel and my mother that my mother was still in labor on the 9th. So no my birthday isn’t the 9th! As my sister you should know this.
Amber: You are my best friend, no? The line above goes for you too.
Mom: Thanks for being the first to say happy birthday after Rachel!
Rachel: Thank you for being the first!

Everyone else who said it
And that’s that!
An old friend of mine had a baby boy the other day. She named him Logan. I like that name. News came via Tasha. Thanks!
During my birthday my ice cream cake came up. Then there was discussion about whether it was a Cookie Puss or not. I was not familiar with that, because I don’t think I was old enough to be. Are you? And it wasn’t by the way.
Lynne sent me over a link to what looks like my dream meal. I’m hoping Rachel will make it soon!
For you fools, i.e. me, who can’t be wired enough you can now make your car a wifi hub. Check it out!
I heard from the big cheese, Jay P., the other day! I think he is settling into his new job which is good to hear.
Bob, Kurt and I played expense check bingo. I love that game. It’s a variation of guess how much money is in my pocket. I think it’s self explanatory how it works.
Andrea, you crack me up. I am thoroughly amused by/proud of various things about your new website. First is your e-mail about Stella:
“…..Stella McCartney (the real one!) is following us on twitter!!!”
I didn’t know who that was until I Googled her.
And I love this press release that my quote was featured in. That quote couldn’t have been better if I wrote it myself!
I think I found my new phone. I love this Nokia that charges itself.
Finally, I have to congratulate all of the Californians, including Tintu, for the Lakers latest Championship! Kobe Diem!
A special hello to Rosa, the inventor of Happy Friday, Happy Monday (only a few more days until Friday) and oh my god, Happy Thursday (tomorrow is Friday!).
