I debated whether to mention it was my birthday today since it comes off like a shameless grab for attention, particularly since 32 isn’t a monumental birthday like 30 was. But I figured, it’s my birthday, I’ll blog about it if I want to! And if we all had eight fingers and eight toes instead of ten we’d probably be using a base-eight number system, which would make today my 40th birthday, which counts as monumental. So happy 40th birthday from the alterna-verse where Mickey Mouse has six fingers but I am still a huge nerd!
I will be celebrating today by ending this blog post early and eating a slice of Carvel’s ice cream cake, which has no calories because today’s my birthday!

Today is my birthday and I remembered it was also yours but I didn’t want to be all creepy and wish you a happy birthday. But, now that you posted, happy birthday to you! Oct. 27 is clearly the most important day on the calendar.

I see you got flowers from your mom. Now that it’s too late (for me), I’m thinking that we should call/give to our moms on our birthdays! Happy day!
Also, notice how close you are to completing your month of daily blogging. Congratulations!

One should always tell everyone else about one’s birthday because others want to know and wish you well! Happy Birthday, Jennette! Every birthday is an important one and one to celebrate–enjoy! :-)

I started your book Half-Assed on Oct. 27th and finished it the next day. I had no idea that the 27th was actually your birthday until now. Happy birthday! Hope you had a fabulous day!
