. Favorite birthday cake/ice cream/dessert
ReplyDeleteCoconut!!!
2. Surprise Parties -- have you ever given or received one?
Both...prefer giving than receiving them, but yeah.
3. Favorite birthday present
A Sony Playstation...long story but several people went in on it...a welcome to the neighborhood kind of gift.
4. What do you think of those candles that won't blow out?
I try not to. I am sensitive you know.
5. Best. birthday. ever.
30. I went to San Francisco and sat around with freinds and celebrated that I was no longer 20-something. Life only gets better after 29.
There you have it!
I always feel consumed with guilt for not participating in the meme on my site. Too many other thoughts swirling in my head.
ReplyDeleteBut here are the answers just for Rev Gals:
1- Favorite cake: Mom's recipe of devil's food with choc. chips and whipped cream icing. Oh my gosh is it tasty!
2- Surprise parties: hate them. Nevertheless my husband loves them and gave me one for #40 in my favorite town - Chapel Hill.
3- Favorite present - i Pod
4 - Candles that won't blow out. Whatever. I prefer unique ones with funky colors.
5 - Best ever?? Hard one. Maybe this past year (turned 50; everybody is healthy; we love each other; what could be better?)
Happy UnBirthday to you too!
I played on my blog.
