I have always believed birthdays are days for sleeping late, hanging out with your Favorite People on Earth, eating delicious food, and all other manner of self-indulgence (including this post, in fact). But upon further consideration, I don't think the self-indulgence should end with me; and as the all-powerful Birthday Girl, I grant permission to all of you to eat an extra piece of chocolate, read an extra chapter in that delicious novel, spend an extra half-hour basking in the sun -- in general, do a little something extra of whatever it is you like best. It's on me.
Enjoy the day!

Happy dang birthday, Cheryl! You are one of my favorite people on the internet. I never cease to be infinitely glad that you exist.
ReplyDeleteAs for self-indulgence, today was a good day for it! I got a call from Becky Terhune this afternoon to see if I just might have time to illustrate a book for Scholastic. I, of course (after calmly screaming into a pillow) wobbly answered yes.
I got to go on an outing with my dad who was hospitalized for six months this past year and is now home. = Pure awesome.
And for total indulgence, I read two extra chapters of Dahl's "The Fantastic Mister Fox" to the boy tonight, even though it was late. He asked and it IS a delicious story.
I’ll do my best tomorrow to top today in honor of your birthday. It may be a bit of a reach but I'll give it my best shot. Chocolate will be involved.
Many happy returns of the day!

Happiest of birthdays to you, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteIn your honour I will now stop work, eat a chocolate frog, and start reading "On Beauty" which I bought for my own birthday and has been sitting by my bed untouched ever since. Yay!

Happy birthday, Cheryl!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful blog.
Happy Birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, the happiest of happy birthdays to you! It's my friend Sylvia's birthday too -- you might remember her as one of the founding members of RUSS-L. So all in all a rather good day to be born, I think!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! I appreciate the chocolate. :)
ReplyDeleteFast tracking to 30. Congrats! Love to see another September girl - mine was last week. But can someone please tell my kids it's a day of self-indulgence? I mean, a day of self-indulgence for me, not for them, which is what they seemed to think it was.
ReplyDeleteThat was yummy. Thank you, and thanks, too, for making all treats non-caloric on this day.
ReplyDeleteAnd happy birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHERYL!!!!! You deserve a group hug from everyone who reads this blog.
ReplyDeleteBy the way... to the Toymaker. Is this your first book contract? Congrats to you.
Sorry it's late, but happy birthday Cheryl! I love reading your blog. Stay sweet!
