The post where I mention casually (or not) that it's my birthday

My luck of course that the Shrub will be accepting his nomination the day I turn 27. *sigh*

Otherwise, goodness and light abound on my birthday. The ever-patient man of the Mouse placed a beautifully wrapped card on the keyboard, where I was sure to find it this morning. I'm taking tomorrow off so that we can spend some time together, not that it's likely to stop me from working in a cat blog. My father called and regaled me with the same story he does every year about my birth. My mother called and sang "Happy Birthday". The cats demanded that I feed them. Well, not everyone is impressed when you finally get to the birthday that puts you out of reach of the draft board.

I turned 17 in 1994 (duh) and spent the rest of that year straining against the confines put on teenage girls in West Texas small towns. Before I saw 18, I was out of West Texas, out of high school and thrilled to find myself in Austin, which has to small town Texas kids the same allure that cities like Seattle, San Francisco and New York have to their local populations. At 17, it was widely predicted that soon I would grow up and start conforming (though my mother secretly hoped not, much to her credit). Ten years later, I'm still mocking everything in sight, listening to loud rock music, and just generally enjoying myself. I hope I can say the same in another 10 years.

Thanks all for indulging me!

Edited to add: Apparently, my life is in danger.

Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!

Congratulations on turning 3-cubed. It's a special number. You'll probably only have one more 'cubed' birthday.

I'm 37. I was still pretty much a underemployed fuck-up at 27. You seem well grounded, so I'd bet the next ten years will find you to be the same uppity woman you've been so far.

Happy birthday. You'll be able to laugh at Dubya accepting his nomination on your birthday because of the sense of irony you get through being a liberal.

HOLY CRAP! Happy Birthday. From all of us* in the PDRR, we dedicate this day in your name. Sept 2 will forevermore be known as Amanday.

*Okay, there's really just me, and old lefty. But he's mining silver in Alaska, so he doesn't really count right now. Look, just accept the birthday wishes, okay?

But seriously, happy birthday.

Hi there, your blog is excellent. As I was surfing around today looking for detailed info on current mortgage rate I somehow ended up on your page. As your described site is not exactly related to my search, I am certainly glad I stopped by. Oh well, back to surfing and I am sure I will find what I am looking for, and should you ever need information about current mortgage rate, then stop by for a look. Thanks for the post.

Saw your blog about checkout pal pay process - as it is along the same lines I thought I would share this link with you. We were paying far too much for family things like clothes for us and the kids, games consoles inc the new Wii and soon to be PS3, car insurance/home insurance/pet insurance, broadband, mobile phones, landline calls, home and garden items, camping equipment and utilities/loans etc - you name it, we were spending too much on it.

Then a friend of mine recommended a site called www.bargainplace.co.uk. We were able to get cheaper electricity, gas, mobile phone, broadband and loan deals at bargainplace. Thanks to my friend (and the site) I am saving something like £100 a month and can afford an extra holiday abroard each year. Booked of course on www.bargainplace.co.uk. Thanks bargainplace ;-) !!

Great blog on free income online service tax. I've stumbled on a superb money making website. Linkreferral is free to join and drives traffic to your website in an inivitive way (the more sites you visit, the more links you get back to your website.)

I've only been a member of Linkreferral for aproximately 2 weeks but I have already seen the volume of people coming to my site double - if not treble.

Linkreferral is not only driving visitors to my website but as a result my affiliate sales income has doubled also.

I really cannot push this website enough. It is free and it is fantastic!! www.linkreferral.com is a must for money making opportunities online.

Good blog - very interesting!! I liked it so much I'm going to share this hush hush advice with you. Ever wondered how your neighbours are driving around in their brand new BMW or Mercedes cars - with their kids dressed in all the latest named gear and foreign holidays aplenty?? Well they discovered the secret to the extra online income.

If you are looking for a free tool to attract loads of free links to your blog or website then congratulations I've got the solution for you - and it is FREE!!

My website specialises in payday loan and to drive traffic to my website I was searching around the internet for absolutely ages looking for SEO tools and ffa submission sites to fire my site up the Google search engine - unfortunately these doing work and in fact had the opposite affect plunging my site down the rankings like it had a heavy weight attached!!, then I signed up for this free superb traffic generating tool - I now have loads of hits to my websites/blogs and my site is shooting back up the Google rankings quicker than ever before.

Consequently this saw my affiliate commissions shoot through the roof - meaning lots of extra money coming in for my family - I bought my first Mercedes car on the proceeds of my online campaign.
Sign up now - it's free.
. Sorry if this information is of no use to you but seeing as you have the anonymous feature enabled I thought I should share this free bit of essential promotional advice with you and would hope you would do the same for me and others who want to boost their online internet income.

I hope the tool will serve you equally as well as it has me - it's free!!

Best of luck, cheers for now, dave.
