birthday girl
yep, it's my day. far out. thirty seven today. have had a *smashing gorgeous* day. all-day sunshine and two birthday cakes and lots of laughter and love. feeling reflective about the date though. a little melancholy. a bit "ish". thirty five was such a milestone, you know? became an adult. reached the mid-life. took my extra earrings out. got my first tattoo. ha. now it's sliding a bit downhill. rehashing my youth. my twenties. perhaps it's just winter blues. gonna get some sunshine in two weeks. heading for the motherland. england. france. my brother's wedding.
gotta make some jewellery before then.
ok, S8 has just put wild thing on for me...
wild thing, you make my heart sing.
you make everything groovy.
wild thing, i think i love you.

Hey Kate, you most fabulous and gorgeous specimen of womanhood, you! I never gave you my speech today or folded it into your card, so best I plaster it here for all the world to see, as my first ever comment on a blog - *ever* ;o)
When I think about Kate, I think of beauty, of fun, and of the funkiest chick I know. I think about summer days in the middle of winter, and snuggly warm soup days in the midddle of summer. I think of her fabulous kiddo's and of the always effervescent Fraser, and how she draws on their love and adoration and returns it all mummy'ed up and weaves it into their memories forever. I think of hair and make-up days, of nails all ashimmer and the tastiest of treats in the picnic basket I've never had and will always envy. I think about how empowering it is to be around her and how I always feel a million bucks after spending time with her. I think of espresso and biscotti and chocolate coated coffee beans, I think of cinnamon flavoured candles and movie lines for Africa. I think of talking through the movies and debriefing with nibbles afterwards and walking along The Strand at night. I think about reading library books while waiting for drama to finish and of getting texts through the rugby. Mostly, though, I think of that all-encompassing smile, the way it tells you you're special without her even opening her mouth.
Thanks for all that you are and all that I owe to you and your family, and thanks for letting me call you my friend. Deb xoxoxo
Happy Birthday! I hope the day is amazing! :)
happy birthday gal! i wouldn't hash out the ol' mid-life thing too much. sounds as if your kiddo still thinks you're a pretty hip mama if he put 'wild thing' on for ya! i don't think you can feel old until your kids start commenting on wrinkles and such. hope you have a blast today and in the MANY MANY dancin' years ahead!
