Have a virtual, international, 43things birthday party, kikigracie will be 49 on Sat August 12!!! Hooray!!

Oh Werebot…a little bird told me that today was special for you… me too … our first day back in baby preschool… so let’s celebrate…but how??? I think I’ll open a juice box and finish my lesson plan Woo Hoo! I know how to live. Hope you have a great night out on the town or something…so hope ya like the pony…Yee Haw! Oh Happy Day to you!!!

Yes I am late with my virtual thank yous ,as in life. I should make prompt TUs a goal. Really thought I would write a brilliant entertaining wrap up of the wonderful virtual wacky b’day…I promised Padatha that I’d tell her all about my dream date…yes with Sir Paul. I’ll just say we bonded on a personal level… the first thing we did was go get our gray roots dyed. Well it was such fun for me especially since I actually had to work that day…checking in on the well wishes made my all day work seminar so much better. So here’s a snap shot from the day….thanks again for all the fun!!!

Thank you all for a grand and glorious time.What a fantastic day of friends, flowers, cakes, ice cream, liquid spirits and internet merriment. I must rest and dream wonderful dreams.
Farewell for now with fireworks!!!!

It’s time to get this virtual party started…thank you all for helping me prepare for the big celebration. Padatha and Sandra Bullock finished decorating today while I had a spa day. And just in time…my date should be here very soon. Poor old guy needs a few cheers…he’s going through a nasty divorce. I know you all will do your best to make him feel welcome. Normally he’s pretty chipper…the kind of guy who can take a sad song and make better. Please don’t mention his recent cover story on AARP (American Association of Retired Persons)Magazine… he’s a little touchy about his recent birthday…64!!! I know he’ll get a real emotional lift just meeting such great “43things” friends…just call him Paul. Oh dear…forgive me!! What an oversight. Did you notice? I forgot to invite everyone to bring a guest…so let me know and I will add their names to the party list. Can’t wait …Let’s Party!!!

We had to knock down the backyard fence to install the climbing wall. It’s way cool. Thought we needed something to help work off all those chocolate calories.

Cheers to everybody…thanks everso…glad you all are here for the party. Qbeemore rented a turbo frozen margarita machine for the Sat. events…well I had to try it out, right? It’s all set up on the new deck…ya’ll can help with the recipe…do you think there’s too much lime in this first batch??

Could someone help me move the tour bus? We can park it in the hanger out at the ranch airport.We must make room in the driveway…Oh look!!! Make way!!! The Hershey Kiss Mobile is coming down the street right now.Who wants to drive first??

In-Style has arrived…not sure, but she could be the guest who has traveled the farthest…Miss Style you win the jet lag award, it’s a pair of custom made cowboy boots and a trip to the Cadillac Ranch…Oh let’s all go…I’ll get the luxury tour bus ready…bring your camera and a can of spray paint!!!

What a lovely group of folks…hope every one has a good time…so glad new friends can meet more new friends!! I need some help…my invites to our Singapore friend , In-Style, did not get through to her…doing something wrong?? Maybe if we all send her another invitation to the party one or two will get through?? I’m just learning to navigate on 43things.

There’s that burning question….what to wear???? Padatha has suggested a pajama party…sounds like fun…then we will be very comfortable when we get our manicures and pedicures. but you might pack your biking togs for the Tour de Birthday Race. The winner will recieve a trophy from Lance Armstrong and a 6 pack of Shiner Bock beer. Cheers
