As some of you know (and THANK YOU for the e-mails, cards, notes, LJ posts), March 26 was…um…the yearly anniversary of my 35th birthday. Vigilant readers of THE DEAL may remember that Aaron was thrown a belated surprise birthday party at a local Houston restaurant, Ming’s, and Tom and some of my friends thought it would be fun to do the same for me.
It WAS fun, and not just because of the presents, eggrolls, and the delicious cake. The company was EXCELLENT. I know I have the greatest friends in the world. I got birthday cards from as far away as Sweden (my college roommate), e-mails from all over the country, and phone calls from near and far. Even though I couldn’t be with all my friends, I promise you were well-represented by the wonderful gathering at Ming’s.
Thanks Lindsey, Lynne, Amy, Richard, Tom, Tim, Rhonda, Marla, and Nora for being there, not just tonight but for years spanning 1968 until now. You’re wonderful, and I love you all.
I look like I was in the parking lot, trying to get into some stranger’s picture.
Aww… slightly belated Happy Birthday wishes!
By the way, who is that strange tall man in the background? Did he just happen to wander from the parking lot into your picture?

Yes, we think he’s homeless, so we let him be part of the group. =)
Happy Belated Birthday!
Thank you!
I apologize for my Doofusness in missing your birthday!
All the best in the year ahead!
Love the shirt-blouse you have on!
Thank you!
We love you too. Oh, and we love Mings. How could we have refused such a wonderful combination of the two!
Hope you had a wonderfully happy birthday.
It was pretty wonderful. I’m still laughing about Tom’s two girlfriends.
…And I’M still laughing about the “Lindsey, kneel down in front of me” comment.
happy belated day to you!
Thank you. =)
You do have a fantastic circle of friends… I had a blast hanging with everyone last night. And I’m glad you enjoyed your birthday so much!
Thank you for being a BIG part of it. I had fun. =)
