I'm way behind. I have a regional tournament that starts August 5, and I have to put on a banquet for 500, a breakfast for 50, and find homes for all the boys to stay in while they are here!
Yikes.

and all I have to do is vacuum and go grocery shopping before my sister arrives tomorrow night. meticulous house clean is NOT on my list! And I think we will go OUT to eat most nights!;)Quote:

My grad students gave me a "festschrift" -- an anthology of articles in my honor, with a "tabula gratulatoria" as first page. What with all the authors and signators I must have at least 50 cards to write, and then there are another 25 or so on the list. But each one is a reminder of how deeply touched I was by the gifts and by the party vibe. :)
Happy Birthday, Duck! How do you say that in Norwegian?
something like "Gratuler med Dagen"????
Unless I just said "I would like cheesecake covered with lox and reindeer steak" ;)
LOL. The only Norwegian I know is Uf Da! And I bet I spelled that wrong.
Duck, have a big slab of b'day cake for me.
No, you ordered the cheesecake with cloudberries this time. Good job! Much tastier! :DQuote:

Again, good job! I think you just earned black belts in cheesecake selection and foreign language instruction as well.
Phonetic, please!
Gratulerer med... oh heck... gelukkige verjaardag! :D (much easier :p )
I just made myself a tuna salad with avocado instead of mayo, fresh lemon juice, chives and green onion, dash of dijon, salt and pepper and chopped walnuts. It came out great! Very pleased :)
Happy birthday!
Oh yum! Send me some please!
And happy birthday Duck! And congrats CC! :D :D
Congratulations, Duck, on reaching your milestone birthday. That sounds like a lovely and meaningful present.
I can't believe that 60 is my next "big' birthday. Why don't I feel old?
Happy Birthday Duck!
Congratulations to CC!
All I know in Norwegian is "ar du ok?" (sp?) Which I heard often from helpful and concerned Norwegians peering down at me as I lay flat on my back having once more fallen over backwards in the snow.Quote:
