Happy Birthday to meeeee!
Yep that's right...Merely Me turns 25 tomorrow. Uh...well...I mean 44!
My birthday is Wednesday December the tenth for anyone interested. I accept virtual chocolate...no calories that way.
I am a moldy oldie. Heh heh!
What I love about this birthday is it involves the double digits of my favorite lucky number. So this has got to be the best year ever for me. I mean really...it just HAS to get better. Just think...I have already dealt with most life crises...what else can happen? Don't answer that.
Let's play a game shall we? I haven't done this in a long time. On a former blog I would play the Ask the Magic Dictionary a Question. I swears...my special dictionary can answer all your questions. Nonsensically of course. I will go first since I am the birthday girl.
Magic Dictionary...I call upon your Special alphabetized powers to tell me if...I will have a good (as defined by no major crises...oh like health or financial problems) year?
The Magic Dictionary says..."nut" as defined by an insanely foolish person!
The audacity of the dictionary to insult me so! But it is probably true. LOL
If you too want to test the powers of my Magic Dictionary...leave a question in my comments and I shall read your fortune in a one word answer.
---------------------------
Okay and now to other matters such as my writing. Listen...I gotta promote myself somehow. Someone has to do it! But first I want to promote someone else here.
Vicki Bridges. She has a wonderful blog about Multiple Sclerosis. I personally find her to have one of the best MS blogs out there as far as delivering information in a fair and objective manner. Vicki has a journalism degree and it shows. I have a lot of respect for her as a writer, a mother, and how she has coped with having this disease.
Here is a link to Vicki's personal blog Down the MS Path.
Vicki had graciously allowed me to interview her for Health Central and here is where you can read about her experience with having MS.
As you all probably know...I suffer from depression. And I write about it. I wrote a little piece some time ago about what the experience can be like. It is a very deeply felt and personal view of me. I hope you do read it. You can find my writing here.
I do hope you can stop by to read and comment. That would be the best birthday present ever! But never better than chocolate. Chocolate trumps all things.

Happy Birthday, Merely Me! I hope the coming year is ten better than best for you. You be looking good!
Magic Dictionary, I call upon your omnipotent power to fore tell, in one word, what will the New Year be like for me?
ahhh the first victim of the Magic Dictionary...let me see here.
The Magic Dictionary says...drum roll please..."BUST"
hmm...well you may interpret this in one of three ways...that your year will be a bust or that um...you will encounter a busomy bust in the future. Or perhaps someone will make a bust of you!
Take your pick!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY D.!!! May your coming year be full of joy and success.
HBTY!
HBTY!
HBDMM!

(AMM!)
Actually, another similarity...maybe.
When folks ask me how old I am, for some reason I always blurt out 27 (I'm 57) so, it gets a bit of a laugh.
yuk yuk yuk!
'Bout done with the age thing altogether.
I think of myself as kind'a good looking, but then there are no mirrors in the house at my height.
So....maybe if I get rid of all the calendars?
happy birthday! and may i say you don't look a day over 43. you do however look a day over 30. yep, 30 and 1 day .. that's how old you look.
okay .. here's my magic dictionary question:
why are my feet always toasty warm the whole day long, but the minute i hop into bed they turn into icicles and my husband won't let me warm them up on his legs? why?

Happy Birthday Merelyme!!
I am channelling Mew Mew and hopefully she will be good and make you happy tomorrow.
Oh, well, that sucks, maybe. On the other hand...it could be very good! Thanks a lot, O Great Magic Dictionary, for the ambiguity. :)
Happy Birthday! I'll be 44 for another 4 months. I say 44 is the perfect age for me right now.
And when I'm 45, that'll be the perfect age for me then!
HA!
Happy 44th birthday, D. Or should I say Happy 19th Anniversary of your 25th Birthday! Whichever makes you feel younger.
HBD!!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday! Hope you have a good one! :)
Happy birthday MM. That was a powerful essay on depression, thanks. (Just for fun, I wonder what Tom Cruise would say.)
My question for the Magic Dictionary is: Will I get a book deal in 2009?
Whew, I did wonder when I sent the card whether I had the right day but thanks for the confirmation
I hope you have a wonderful double favourite digit day
As for your Magic Dictionary, can it tell me if I will actually have the nerve to retire next year?
Many happy returns to you! And i to hope you have a wonderful year ahead.
Happy birthday.
Happy B-day! Have a great next year!
Happy Birthday To You!!!!!!!!
Huge hug and kiss and you 'will' have a good year.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Merely Me!
I think that your Magic Dictionary has some technical flaw – like not enough pixie dust. I dusted off my “Ouija Board for Idiots” book, had a long session with my “source” on the other side and asked about your 2009 outlook. Of course, you’re going to have a GREAT year - with just a few trials and tribulations along the way.
So, lets compare your Magic Dictionary with my “Great and All Powerful Ouija” (never mind the man behind the curtain!) for my question. Will I find a new friend who doesn’t mind that I have no hair and smell of Elderberries? You first!

I hope you had a wonderful birthday today. I didn't realized that your birthday is close to mine. I will be 50 tomorrow.
Have a wonderful birthday night. :)
You guys are too friggin nice to me...seriously. just want you to know that the magic dictionary will answer all your questions tomorrow...thursday. i had a wonderful birthday and in part because of all your well wishes. two glasses of wine later...I am feeling mighty fine.
44 is all right!
Happy Birthday! Hope you are feeling well. And NO way you are 44! Timeless is the way of the walk, the write way... always remember that.
And if I could pose a question to the Magic Dictionary, I would like to ask... How successful will the new president be at stemming this low tide and bringing back at least a measure of confidence in not just our economy, but in our place as a world leader?
Just wonderin'...
Fantastic! Happy birthday!
Coincidentallly, mine was on the 9the ;->
Q: How is the John Coltrane house doing in Philly?
Happy, Happy Birthday! May this next year be the best one ever for you.
