My Happy Birthday is TODAY!
Today is the official Wendy Birthday Day. But I've been celebrating with friends and family for almost a week now. Tonight, J4 took me to a new place called Olivia's on S. Lamar. Trendy place, delicious food (scallops!), and a waitron we knew from Hyde Park B&G too. Plus J4 gave me an Andrew Davies DVD of BRIDESHEAD REVISITED and President Obama's book. Cool!
Last Wednesday, Leslie took me to Eddie V's Edgewater Grill. We ate late (9 pm) and the usually crazy-busy place was not busy. Then she showered me with a dozen gifts, most of them lavendar related or purple, including a honking 3-carat tanzanite ring!
And I must've gotten 12-15 wishes via FaceBook and on my Writergrrls list. Very sweet messages too! So I'm feeling cherished.
And just for grins, here's a photo taken of me on my first natal anniversary. Fierce concentration in the face -- look, I had it even then!

That's also my very first pet, a cat! (How could it not be a cat?) She didn't have a name until she had kittens, then she was forever "Mama Cat." She lived a long time, liked me best, and had dozens and dozens of kittens that we gave to good homes.... Ha, I knew I was born with the pale, fine hair, but I see here it always had the cowlicks that give me fits unto this very day...
