It's a celebration, bee-yotches
Note: This is not a picture of me. I have much longer hair.
Plato may have once said, of old age: "A great sense of calm and freedom. When the passions have relaxed their hold, you may have escaped, not from one master but from many."
But it was the fabulous and wise-before-her-years Miss Britney Spears who said, "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman."
Go Britney! Go Britney!
I don't feel the slightest bit old as I turn 32, although I certainly have matured a bit since my 30th birthday bash, which featured an extravagant Hello Kitty theme, a face cake (a glamour shot of my book jacket photo airbrushed onto a gigantic slab of buttercream) as well as a signature cocktail called the Lollytini, after my nickname (Lolly, not Teeny!) I am writing all day today - so many assignments - and am totally hopped up on Americanos and fun phone calls. I am freaking out on work and love. CAN YOU TELL?!
Anyhow, send me lots of b-day love and watch the following hysterical video card my dad emailed me - it is amazing in only the way a talking egg video can be.
PS: Proof that the squeaky wheel gets the grease -- yesterday, I was shopping in Express for absolutely no reason at all and I tried on a purple ruffled dress and I just kind of, off-the-cuff, asked the cashier, "So...you don't by any chance offer birthday discounts?" And she said, "No, we don't...but I can give you $25 off since you're spending more than $50." I shrieked, mild chaos ensued, and I snagged the dress for $56.24.
Gotta speak up girls, right? Like me and my gyno - open that mouth and say something. You never know what'll happen!
Or, like my grandma recently said to me, "Oh, Les, I'm getting so old - I had a gynecologist's appointment and a dental exam today and I didn't know whether to open my legs or shut my mouth." Truer words have never been spoken.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And that is one fabulous little dress, lady!
That card is SUPER! I love it. Happy Birthday :) I have a big one coming up in three weeks too. It will be a celebration. Congratulations on a successful (and thrifty) 32 years!

happy birthday and ruffffflles,
M.
(just got my computer to comply with the dress reveal----that will look STUNNING on you! hope you wear it out tonight somewhere fun!)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
And that dress is fantastic. Way to go getting the discount like that. I can usually pull that with this vintage shop here in town--my boyfriend knows the owner and she adores him so I reap the benefits when I hit that store. :)
Your dad is hilarious! Will he adopt me? No? How about just send me a b-day card then;)
LOVE your dress. It looks like it is very "swishy"- my fave kind of dress. *strut*swish*strut*swish Ah, if you were still a cocktail waitress the tips would be a'flowin!
Good luck on all the busyness
Happy Birthday, Leslie. I hope you have a great day. I love those Jib jab things. I did a hoe down with some pics. It was so funny!
I can't believe I forgot to wish you a happy birthday amidst all of that. You confused me with pictures of pretty dresses! Hope your day is a good one:)
Happy birthday!!!!
(FABULOUS dress!)
Happy Birthday Leslie! I hope your day was wonderful despite the chaos!
*I choked on my water after reading the caption under the "yup, its my birthday" picture! Too funny :-P
Happy Birthday!!! Very cute egg video. And I lovelovelove the dress!
Happy B-day to you! I really enjoy your writing. I always get either a laugh or an eye opener (probably cause I live under a rock). Enjoy your life.
Happy Birthday!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Strut-your-stuff in that fabulous dress! :)
Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful day. I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your book. It meant a lot to me. I kept seeing myself in so many of the women you described. Thank you for writing it.
xoxo
Happy Birthday Leslie! Thanks writing such a wonderful and inspiring blog. I wish you all the birthday happiness you deserve.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Sorry, missed the actual day, but hope the Whoopie was great!
(The PIE--as to the other kind, that's none of my business).
Loved the Jib Jab too.
Happy-happy birthday, Leslie! Hope you had a great one. And can't wait to see your newest appearance on the Today Show...how exciting! :)
