It is never fun to be sick, but it especially sucks to be sick on your birthday and yet it was a cozy day spent mostly in bed being pampered and looked after by my favorite guy (who was also feeling under the weather but has a selfless, self sacrificing service oriented streak as wide as they come).

He naturally baked me a cake. 🙂 It was beautiful! Yellow cake w/ butter cream frosting and pretty yellow & white sugar flowers all over it. He also made me one of my favorite dinners: and irish lamb stew that is absolutely to die for. The recipe is on his blog.

Lots of other folks called & emailed and sent flowers. Mmm I love flowers. My dear friend the incomparable Lady Catherine (who’s birthday happens to be tomorrow) even called and sang to me!! I cannot tell you how special THAT was!! 😀 And it seemed there was one email card after another in my box and loads of “Happy Birthday” graphics and greetings popping up on MySpace and Facebook.

In short.. I may have been feeling sick … but I was also feeling VERY well loved! Thank you to everyone who remembered me on my special day. I am heading back to bed so that I can be well enough to go skiing as planned this coming weekend to REALLY celebrate and have some fun! Hugs to all!!
