I want to make a few quick clarifications about LAST POST. Not because anyone said anything; I just didn’t say what I wanted to. Sometimes when I’m trying to multi-task I forget to push the “ON” button in my brain…
I was asked what I want for Christmas…. and I gave some pricier things, like Kate Spade china and Loeffler Randall boots. These are the things I ask my parents for, who have a couple extra pennies to spend. Because I haven’t been successful in secretly putting my mortgage in their name so they’ll secretly pay for it, I ask for nicer things from them and they are very generous.
Things that I ask for from other family members might be flavored coffees, any dessert-flavored bath products, lip glosses, and paperback chick lit books.
I was asked about taking cold medicine and coffee for running… I’ve dealt with addiction, abuse, and rehab in my own family so I probably take the issue of drugs a little more seriously than most. And while I may joke about celebrities and their recreational drug habits (ahem, CocaineKate Moss and Lindsey Blowhan) I in no way think drug use is something funny. BUT, I don’t think the commenter was suggesting a blogger meet up to go get hopped up on Benadryl and then run laps at the track. Because doi, she should know I don’t run on tracks… SOOOO boring.

Happy Birthday!!
27 is a good age – wisdom and experience blahdy blah, but still not staring directly down the barrel of 30 (like some of us).Not that 30 is old (covering all bases here).
And what’s the point of a wishlist if you can’t put the big stuff on it
December 17, 2009 at 9:06 AM
Happy Birthday!
December 17, 2009 at 9:18 AM
Happy Birthday to you
I am 27 too… (I look about 20, so I don’t feel too old…. yet. 30 is when old happens for me)
I hope you have a great day and eat lots of sweets!
December 17, 2009 at 9:20 AM
Happy birthday! I’m 39 and my 30′s were much, much better than my 20′s. I hope that makes you feel better.
December 17, 2009 at 9:29 AM
Happy Birthday!
December 17, 2009 at 9:31 AM
HAPPY B’DAY!
27 isn’t exactly decay worthy so you should be golden!
December 17, 2009 at 9:37 AM
You’re so old my 1.5 year old who can barely talk calls you “mamam”
So you’re older than dirt . . . who cares. Age is only a number and you’re only as old as you feel.
Should have known you were a fellow Sagatarius with that sparkley personality!
Enjoy your day!
December 17, 2009 at 9:39 AM
Happy Birthday! 27 – old. Hahahahaha, just you wait. Enjoy your youth while you can =)
December 17, 2009 at 9:48 AM
I’m enjoying my last days of 27… I turn 28 next week, grrr. I will agree with the other commenters who said that 27 is not old though,(because that would make me old, and that would be very bad indeed:))
Have a great birthday!

Happy Birthday!! I turned 27 in September, but my husband is still older, so I don’t feel too old – actually most days I still feel like I’m 17, so I figure that’s all that counts.
Hope your day is wonderful!

Dang, no need to clarify your Christmas wish list and why … be proud of the things you own and can afford and other people enjoy buying for you. Give a little time to others every now and then and smile!
December 17, 2009 at 9:00 PM
happy birthday! My first grade students were making christmas stockings and Sarah said to William, “I was born in 1982.” I chimed in and said, “Darlin that would make you 27, kind of old for a first grader, don’t you think?” That thought it was hilarious. She meant to say 2002. Then they wanted to know how old I was, but I said a lady never tells her age
December 17, 2009 at 9:03 PM
Happy Birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Awww, we’re almost birthday buddies, it’s my 26th on the 26th.
Hope you have a great day and that you don’t get any xmas/bday combined gifts, grr!
December 19, 2009 at 8:54 AM
Ahh! I’m late on wishing you a happy birthday!
27 is not old when you don’t LOOK 27. 27 is not old when you can run a freaking marathon & when you run half marathons like it’s your job! (i’ve actually told one of my friends about how many halves you run and did use that phrase “like it’s her job” lol)
Well…. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! (it’s never too late to wish someone a happy birthday right? Right? lol)
Those jokes cracked me up
