Happy Happy Happy birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! I sung that by the way *wuzzies* :-)
ReplyDeleteHa ha ! Thanks sweetie. *kunch wuzZies* All of you youngsters keep my mind fresh!! <3
Deleteand my fav bday dinner is a DELICIOUS CHEESEBURGER with extra cheddar and may and pickles
DeleteYou are easy to please! My Mothers Day meal is a fish filet, fries, and a chocolate shake from Mickey D's. I can't stand the restaurant Mother's day crowds.
DeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY LA LA!!! *sends celebratory cupcakes*
ReplyDelete*big squishy hugs*
Halloween is also my fave holiday!!!
Thanks, Pili!! I have been grateful all these years to be born close to Halloween so I could have Halloween themed birthday parties! *wuzZies*
DeleteYou're a freakin' groovy chick! Happy birthday doll!
ReplyDeleteThank-you, I've had a long time to get that groovy! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteOh no! I don't think my first comment went through. Oh well. Here it is again;
ReplyDeleteAwesome tag! Happy Birthday, one day late! Halloween is my favorite holiday. it's just so much fun(Just my parents don't really celebrate it at all) . But it could be because my birthday is also this month, but later on. I don't really care what the dinner is, as long as my boyfriend is there/here. It could be Grilled Cheese. :p
Ha ha, don't let Jeb Holt from the Splintered Twtitter RP group hear you say "grilled cheese" because he'll sing that awfully cheesy Sexy Sandwich Song, again! Thanks for stopping by to celebrate and good luck with the giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is really really fabulous. xD HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I traced my family back to actual convicts once...which was awkward. Well, at least I know what kind of people I descended from. (And on the other side of my family it's all Germans and Italians, so I guess my clan was unpopular in WWII as well. Ouch. Slytherin for sure.)
ReplyDeleteI'm still obsessed with Alice in Wonderland!
There's like a 16 year gap between my oldest sister and my youngest...except there's a bunch of us hooligans in the middle causing mischief and annoying people. *nods* We excel at that. XD
I hope you had a really good day!!
Thanks, Cait. I wouldn't worry about the convict connection too much because people got arrested and imprisoned for all sorts of silly harmless things in the past. Well, my father's Sleepy Hollow ancestors were Loyalists, so after the Revolutionary War they got chased to Canada. Ha!! Thanks again for stopping by. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and big families rule! I had alot of best friends with large families and I loved the atmosphere if it all.
DeleteI'm a little late, but happy birthday! I hope you had a great one. :D
ReplyDeleteThank-you so much Francine! And yes, I had a wonderful birthday. Thanks for dropping by. :)
ReplyDeleteEither Red Robins or Olive Garden! Thanks for this cool giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, and thanks for stopping by. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!! That's quite an impressive list of 58 things, some of which were very interesting to read. I'd love to read more!! My favorite bday dinner would be my mom's fried chicken. It's my favorite food on this planet. :) Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky you mother is a good cook, mine not so much. Lol. Thank-you for dropping by to celebrate. :)
ReplyDeleteBirthday Dinner - Steak and Shrimp....good and simple
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance
Thanks for stopping by. :)
Deletelamb chops applesauce green beans yams coconut cream pie
ReplyDeleteDo you watch the Brady Bunch? Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteWe don't do bdays, so I wouldn't have a favorite bday dinner. A favorite dinner to have any time is steak and potatoes. Or, if we could go again, Chicken Crispers at Chili's. Oh, yum. I miss it!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fabulous day!
Thank-you!!!!
DeleteI would pick a hald rack of ribs, mashed potatoes, and a brownie sundae!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteHappy (Belated) Birthday La La!! I could never choose a set birthday dinner but if I had to choose now I'd go with Japanese Udon and a plate of sushi (from this really expensive and delicious place in town)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm.... udon, I agree! Thank-you for the drop by. :)
DeleteOH MY GOSH I ALSO HATE THE WORD "SQUAT!" Every time I read it in a book it makes me cringe. Just typing it here made me cringe, too. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I find it very impressive that you know how to Dougie. I love watching other people do it at weddings and stuff, but I personally am no good at it. Sigh.
Sorry you had to type 'that word', lol. My son is forever mortified that I know how to dougie! Thank-you so much for stopping in to chat. :)
