Well I must say…I don’t know if I could have handled any more fantastic surprises. There aren’t enough superlatives to describe my ultra-fab birthday party last night, so I won’t try.
Surprise guests kept arriving — I was blown away! Here are some mementos:
I have too many photos (Jane is bringing some more over — I hope I can find some of RD and Bonnie) and not near enough time and space to show them all this morning. Suffice it to say that I have an incredible family and fantabulicious friends — all more than I could ask for or deserve.
OK. I’m off to BFF Kay’s house for tea, then call up Lars & Helen for coffee…then I write a paper. Lovely.
Thank you again to everyone — what a crazy fantastic night!

I was standing a little too close to Stein….I think I’m coming down with a bad case of Stein-Flu.
Uh-oh…Stein-Flu…that’s the worst.
I think you deserve it for bursting my international soccer bubble. By the way, I was able to watch the 2nd half of a USA victory over El Salvador.
I still feel bad about that Mr. Stein. Being a soccer fan is probably tough enough without people pretending to have an interest. Maybe I should check out this international soccer stuff for real.
So glad the party was a hit! It was a great time
Sam and I trying to find the place was quite the adventure…let’s just say our directions ended up being torn into a billion pieces. Ha.
HA
Are you accusing the Thriller of giving bad instructions…and you two were the only ones who got lost? HMMMMMM….
“Meg, I really think that was the right road… there was a soccer field.”
“Nah, just keep going. There’s suppose to be a light.”
“Just keep uh-goin…”
“Meg, we’ve reached Hawkins on the other side of Ashland…I think we’ve gone too far.”
“Where’s dat bypass even at!? I didn’t see no bypass sign, did you?”
*rip *tear *rip
“Ya think we outta keep uh-goin? Let’s text Jax…”
actually the instructions were right on….
So I’m winging my way back to Dallas & purely by accident (read: I forgot to “…disable the wireless feature on your portable device…”) discovered that AA now has in-flight wireless Internet! So I’m reading your blog & posting an articulate and compendious reply at 34,000 feet! It was SOOOoooo good to see you & meet Thriller – wish my stay could have been longer, but gotta take care of family business back in the Big D! Good luck on the discussion & paper! Hopefully NEXT visit we’ll have more time!

BoomR in-flight!
We will definitely have more time next time — even if it’s in June or July when we visit YOU!
Hope the flight was pleasant, doll. Stay in touch about Mike’s mom. And did I ever thank you for my Garmin? I don’t think I have, at least not enough.
Congratulations on the party. Looked like fun and now you can slap your troubles away with the slap chop, slap your troubles away.
I will indeed, Will — the thing works!
