Thank you!

Thank you lovely, lovely people for the birthday wishes, cards and e-mails. It's always a source of surprise to me how silly I get over these things! Like a kid, really. You've all contributed to the happy factor of today and I thank you.

My most sincere wish that the rule of three works here, whatever you wish for me - I wish it three times as much back. May your lives be full of adventure.

There was a special surprise sent to me, though. Thank you so much hico for the paid LJ - cotton candy sweetness! It will insure that I keep on blabbing away! Thanks!

I was fortunate to get a present or two. I do have a long list of dreambooks that I keep adding to, but other than that, and the villa in Fiesole, there's no list - so people have to work at it.

This year they decided to test boundaries (and their luck). Tashi came with research on the origins of her breed and a name chosen in Tibetan (the young'uns know me all too well) and has now taken over my room.

I was going out with everybody to my favourite sushi place, but Tashi can't be left alone.

Take out it is.
