Thank you!

Thanks so much to everyone who posted on facebook or LJ, sent email, called, came to my party, cooked me kosher duck (man, do I love duck), brought other yummy food and drink, gave me birthday cards and gifts, contributed to my incredibly generous Apple gift certificate (going to check out laptops some time this week, I hope...), and otherwise generally helped to make my entry into my 5th decade such a wonderful one.

Extra-special thanks go to heliopsis for providing party space (and a delicious duck!) and muffyjo for fabulous decor set-up and cleaning. And I just don't have enough words to thank lillibet, who masterminded the whole thing, made sure I had the perfect party without having to stress about it myself, and spent I can't even begin to imagine how much time and money -- and managed to throw an incredible bash less than a week after an incredibly consuming show ended. I'm not sure what I did to deserve friends like these, but you'd better believe I'm going to do what I can to keep them.

Duck is kosher? Neat! :)

I am sorry to have missed your birthday. Boz and I were feeling rather tuckered out.

bedfull_o_books was also key in setting up the decorations, in fact, I think she and lillibet probably hung more than I did. But I did followup on all the loose ends and I helped with cleanup/breakdown the next day! And lifecollage helped with cleanup that night! chanaleh had plans for a sukkot and had acquired appropriate building materials but the weather decided the matter, I'm afraid.

You are wonderfully fun to celebrate. Your investment in the world around you and your interest in enjoying life is contagious.

You are most definitely loved and cherished. :)
