Spent the evening having dinner with friends. Nothing better than good food and conversation.
During the cab ride home I spoke with my young actor friend/theatre partner. We’ll give him Brando for a blog name okay?
We’ll be seeing two plays together soon, and I’ll be going to watch him perform in early October.
Brando is quite versatile, and handles comedic and dramatic roles equally well.
And he has a birthday coming up – The Big Three O.
I told him I was looking forward to shopping for his gift.
He told me not to worry about getting him a gift, but of course I am so getting him something anyway.
This is what he said regarding my birthday in December:
If I’m poor at the time I’m going to get you what I can, but if I am rich I’m getting you everything!
Now you can’t ask for more than that can you?
Boy, do I remember dreading my 30th. I felt very old . But ten years later when I turned 40 I felt very young. It was one of my best birthdays ever; I celebrated every night for a week. This December I will be 46 years young, and again the festivities will last for at least one week.
I sent Brando links to my blogs recently, and he has become a reader.
Now I have to get him started on a blog of his own!
I’m sure he’s laughing at the above line.
Let’s see what picture shall I sign off with?
Ah! Here’s a picture of a funky bathtub garden; I took it on Sunday while walking around Brooklyn with best galpal.
Good nite all.
yeah! yeah! yeah for you frances! celebrating every night for a week…that is just what i did for #41 back in august. my 40th last year was one of those in-the-toilet situations…best flushed from memory for reasons unrelated to the age itself (i love this age!!!). so in retaliation for the previous year’s events & my own lackluster ability to handle them, i declared *birthday week*…7 whole days of i-am-large-&-in-charge-around-here!! hubby & the kids were a bit cockeyed regarding my announcement, but they got over it and into the spirit of it. we had SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!! they even threw in a few surprises of their own.
in that week i saw the most beautiful double rainbow, met some awesome new friends, ate fab food every single night, counted copious blessings, took unparalleled photos, read til my eyes ached, teased everyone mercilessly, & smiled my face off.
ain’t life grand?!

Yea, 30 wasn’t bad at all. Dreading it was the worst part of it all.
