Happy Birthday to me!

Here it is.  The day that marks my 43rd birthday and thus the day that compelled me to start this blog.  The best thing about this birthday, so far, has been the discovery of the Facebook application "Causes" which allows you to dedicate your birthday wish to raising money for your favorite charity.  The $629 I raised for my brilliant rabbi has made my heart leap!  Another inspired idea from the clever folks who do internet things.  Bless them.  The other best thing was the sublime and truly decadent bracelet Sig Other gifted me with first thing this morning.  I feel unworthy.  But very chic.
