Gray Birthday
It’s gray outside today. And cold and rainy. It’s kind of a crummy day for a birthday but it’s a birthday nonetheless. 24 is a weird age. There’s a lot of big stuff happening this year. I’ll have my Masters while I’m 24. I’ll get married while I’m 24. The juxtaposition between the events and the number of years I have under my belt are just very strange to think about. It’s going to be a good year!
Today is not a really big production. Due to prior obligations, I have to work and do stuff for school. My live in architect/chef will cook a special dinner for me. We’re having chicken with butternut squash ravioli in a goat cheese sauce (I have an obsession with goat cheese… and butternut squash ravioli for that matter) with salad. The ravioli will be homemade as will the goat cheese sauce. He’s making peanut butter and chocolate brownies for dessert (I also have an obsession with the peanut butter/ chocolate combo).

Happy B-Day to you!
Wish I could send some of the sun over here your way. =)
It sounds like you have quite a dinner coming up!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Please have an awesome, sweet & relaxing, dinner! You deserve it. 24 is a good age to be, esp. with a year of special events to look forward to.
Dear Meg,
It rained here in SoCal yesterday, as the first big storm of the season passed through. And tomorrow, a heat wave is predicted, with temps in the 90s!
A happy happy birthday to you, my dear. I read your short story entry below a couple of days ago, and really liked it a lot. There should be more short stories on Xanga! You spoke in a first person voice which belied your 23, er, I mean 24 years.
Have a wonderful day giving in to your obsessions and basking in the love of a good guy.

@WakeUpLaughing - @seedsower - Dinner was absolutely awesome. He always does a good job when cooking. I was very excited that there was enough leftovers for me to take for lunch today!
@SoullFire - Okay, if you ever find a way to box up the SD weather and send it this way, please do it
That would be the best birthday present ever! I think that’s probably the most perfect weather I’ve ever felt. I’m sad just thinking about how nice the weather was there.
Happy BIrthday Darling Meg. This will be the most beautiful year of the many decades of blessings that you will enjoy with your loved ones.
YUMMY meal! I just saw an awesome butternut squash recipe on the Food network. Gonna try it next time I see butternut squash in the store.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Birthday. May 24 be filled with as much love and health and peace as it is with milestones.
Happy birthday (though a day late). Hope you had a nice time despite the weather and ate your fill of brownies.
Sounds yummy. I eat Chinese stuff for most special occasions. PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy BDay kid! –BTB
I missed your b’day! Happy b’day! I hope it was terrific and your best year yet.
Hope you had a wonderful birthday. That you are accomplishing so much this year is not a surprise. According to the Chinese zodiac, which works on a twelve-year cycle, the years that complete a cycle are always auspicious. So I hope this second cycle anniversary year is filled with good health and great happiness.
