I love it when people are older than me, I feel like I’m at the end of the bell curve at my knitting group and most of the blogs I read are written by people younger than me. Happy birthday, why not make a week of it this time around?

Happy Birthday! *clink* A virtual toast to you! (Hoist one for me in reality, willya?)

I do hope you have a lovely evening out - and good champagne doesn’t give too bad a hangover. Ask me how I know…

Happy birthday! Alas, my age will never be any interesting part of my name, tho I think that’s terribly cool. Although you could take the “l” from Phiala, I suppose.

I’m working on a sweater, but not planning to finish it this month. 2010 sounds good, or at least likely. I am planning to write 50,000 words of fiction. I am already procrastinating, on the very first day, by writing blog comments instead of story. Doesn’t bode well.

Happy LI-st (or however) Birthday! May the coming year bring you only pleasant surprises.

No fair! What about having NaNoSweMo in a DIFFERENT month? There are 11 more to choose from. Then a knitting novelist could do both.

So sad. Have to go write. Can’t go knit. And it’s only day 1.

I will have to live to a hundred to have my birthday be part of my name! Could happen, but by then I’ll probably be too senile to remember it.

I was thinking about the upcoming festivities yesterday! Happy birthday, have a wonderful time out on the town, and as per advice above, drink good booze so any hangover is minimal! (But hopefully after LI years, one has learned to avoid severe aftermaths….)

Happy Birthday! Enjoy the night off

Well, hip-hip-happy birthday to you! I’m older than you (slightly), but am unlikely to live long enough to knit as well as you do now.

I’ve seen the word “logorrhea,” (sp) used to describe the process of writing 1200-page books about one’s political philosophy. “Blogorhea” must be a very mild form of that.

Your Rhinebeck blogorrhea was actually quite fun and well written (that is why I asked if you were related to Michener as he was so well known for his brilliant, but lengthy books). Just drink plenty of water while recovering from your night out, it will help you to rehydrate (you’ll feel better much faster that way). Your blog makes me smile.

Helen, you could be crazy like me and try for both! My friends pressured me into doing NaNo (despite my inventing NaKni to STOP myself from the noveling), so I am going to knit my sweater in the first 15 days and write the novel in the second.

Yes. I am not right in the head.

Belated happy birthday as well. I was rummaging through some CDs, and came across a Musical Heritage recording of change ringing in 16 English churches. I just listened to it again while spinning. Do you have this recording? It was recorded in 1989, and reissued by MHS in 1996. It is called Church Bells of England. The last track is at St David , Moret0n-in -Marsh, Gloucestershire, doing Kent Treble Bob Major.

I fully intend to live long enough to be my name (M. Yes, I plan to live 1000 years. Why? My answer to the question asked in Queen’s “Who Wants to Live Forever?” is “Me.”).

My NaKniSweMo will include, at a minimum, finishing my February Lady Sweater. I started the sleeves last night, and I plan to wear it to Stitches East this weekend.

This is, of course, complicated by the fact that I am also doing NaNoWriMo, and this year I intend to FINISH the 50,000 words. The closest I’ve been is 32,800 words in (I think) 2005. I would have finished that year, but right around Thanksgiving I was hit by a desire-to-live-sapping case of Martian Death Flu and didn’t recover my will or physical fortitude to write until December. So far, I’m pretty much on track…..Ironically, though, I haven’t even begun the story. I have pages and pages of backstory stuff I Need To Know that the reader will (probably) never see. Ah, well, it still adds to the word count.

On the Tsock front, a question I’ve been meaning to ask–Will we be knitting a second Tsuspense Project? [a mate to the one in progress] I seem to have copious amounts of leftover yarn, so I’ve been wondering.

Happy Election Day, and a fairly belated birthday to the LI girl from the LIV girl, though my age is NO part of my name it is the first three letters of LIVE which is a pretty good thing to do on your birthday and all of the other days as far as I can tell!
