Enjoy the 'milestone' for what it is...a reminder that you will be able to make your mark from a different perspective.

In the vernacular: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Posted by: MommaBear at May 24, 2003 at 02:07 PM

You do realize, don't you, that since we're in a new millennium each birthday means you're another year younger, right?

Posted by: McGehee at May 24, 2003 at 02:19 PM

Happy Birthday!

I think I'll go have a beer in celebration. I mean, I was going to have a beer anyway, but now I'm multi-tasking, and that's an increase in my personal efficiency. And that makes me feel good about me.

Happy Birthday. Now that you are caught up to me I can say with all honesty that life begins at 40. Enjoy.

Leaving work feeling a year older is OK if it doesn't happen more than once a year.

Happy Birthday

My "BIG FOUR-OH" was five years ago. Around that time I was just starting to enjoy my life.

Elves stop aging at forty, correct? I, on the other hand, have to drive down the road to the Fountain Of Youth in St. Augustine once a month for my fix. Happy birthday!

40? You're still just a kid.

You do indeed share your birthday with some great individuals. According to this site (http://members.xoom.virgilio.it/all42day/history/h4may/h4may24.html) yesterday was the 184th birthday of Queen Victoria, and the 21st birthday of the fattest healthy baby ever born (22.5 pounds, in South Africa). Congratulations a day late!

Posted by: Dr. Weevil at May 25, 2003 at 06:46 PM

Happy Birthday, Andrea.

Cheers!

Posted by: Ray Eckhart at May 25, 2003 at 07:30 PM

I'm sorry it's a day late, but happy birthday!

I'd sing you a song and tap dance, but A) You wouldn't see it. and B) it'll scar my cat for life...

May all your unbirthdays be happy as well!

Posted by: Ninjababe at May 25, 2003 at 08:09 PM

Neato - it was mine, too. An auspicious day, indeed.

Happy Belated!

Belated happy birthday! I was away for the weekend or else I would have done tequila shots in your honor.

Posted by: Dave at May 26, 2003 at 01:05 AM

Congrats. I am rapidly approaching that milestone too.
