September Birthdays

Oh, sorry, Sally--guess I wasn't thinking!

I don't know if this will help--but something I do when I am not eating, or can't eat, is to actually set my mind to enjoy thoughts of how I will prepare a meal in the future for someone to enjoy. It is somewhat of a paradox, but it works for me. I even watch the food channel sometimes, just to watch other people enjoying....I know, I'm crazy!

A thousand blessings to you during this Ramadan....

salaam

as salaam aleykum habibty

It is funny you should say that but my mother and sister in law deal with ramadan in much the same way. The men and myself (because I don't do the cooking during ramadan back home) are all chewing our clothes and getting so frustrated but the women just spend the day preparing the breakfast and they do it with such joy, knowing the family will all eat together that night.

It is more difficult being back in the UK because everyone around me has no idea it is ramadan, so just carry on as normal. I am really missing having breakfast with the family this year, never mind, next year will back to normal inshallah.

Hi...Yes, a thousand, thousand blessings to you and yours ,and a blessed ramadan.

Sorry Sally, but I'm having to bake some whole grain bread loaves and a fresh peach pie today. We heathen infidels need and crave our carbos. If I could teleport a fresh loaf to you after sundown, I surely would. Still about ten years off I estimate.

flow....:p
 
I shall hold you to that in 10 years time but can we make it brownies please (but not the special ones ;)).

Oh please don't say cake during the day this month, or water and definately don't say cigarettes. :(

What? He said with a mouthful of chocolate and fudge cake, while puffing on a smoke.....

I didn't catch that..... He explained after washing down the cake with a big swig of drink then taking another puff on his smoke and sighed with content perfectness.......
 
Here's a birthday that is not on the original September list. This individual is not even a member of C-R. But I just can't help it, I gotta say:

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR CASEY!
I LOVE YOU

Ah yes, I remember that day very well...​

InLove said:
I love it when I wake up in the morning knowing that today, if all goes as planned, I will welcome a baby into this world. Maybe I will cut the umbilical cord, which always brings a tear or two. Or maybe I will hold the mother's hand until mine is aching. Or maybe I will wrap my arms around the father who usually doesn't like that sort of thing. One thing I know for certain--if all goes well, I will smile, laugh, and cry for one and many reasons, and my heart will leap at the sight of this amazing event.

Looking forward to seeing you, little Casey.:)

InPeace,
InAwe,
InLove

I love it when all goes well. (See above.):)

I also love it when what happens surpasses what I had planned. I didn't get to be in the room this time (hospital rules have changed--only two people besides the mother and medical personnel). But my oldest daughter, the mother's sister, has never had the opportunity to see the other side of childbirth. She has always been the one delivering the baby. I thought it time she witnessed this beauty from a new perspective. I could see how much she wanted to do this in her eyes. I will never regret my decision!

By the way--Casey is 8 lbs., 2 oz. And he is 19 1/2 inches "tall" (at least he was a few hours ago :) ) And he is beautiful.

InPeace,
InLove

(In case your mother is reading this, tell her I did not make you a cake because I heard that you were getting your own tonight, served to you while you relax in a blow-up swimming pool. What's up with that, anyway? Do they think you are going to make a mess or something? :D)

InPeace,
InLove,

Hi dialogue is the best :) (I'm not quite sure how to spell your name, but I have a feeling this is what you meant--I hope you don't mind me switching the letters around a bit.)

Anyway, today is special, so thought I would say....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIALOGUE!

(Sometimes lurking is good, too? Especially when eating cake!)​

InPeace,

Hi Jamarz :)

In case you happen to get by here again—just wanted to wish you a great day. I would have fixed you a dessert plate, but alas I have recently experienced some pc problems, and I am still working on retrieving all my programs and hopefully my files. I neglected to back up some things, as well, so we shall see.

But you are welcome to pick from any of the little cakes you find, and in the meantime, I remembered that you are fond of sun tea. The weather here is still warm enough, so here ya go! Hope you enjoy, and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMARZ!​

(You may need the iced tea after all that--looks tiring!)​

InPeace,
InLove

*a pride of :kitty:s and a bevy of lunamoths enter stage right and head straight for center stage, a pair of :kitty:s with a small banner loosely tied to their tails. The :kitty:s "tune up" as the lunas gently perch on a set of chimes, then, after the :kitty:s are ready, they begin "singing" as the lunamoth "orchestra" strike the chimes, the pair with the small banner raise their tails, exposing what is printed on it:

Happy Birthday, lunamoth!

*after their performance, the :kitty:s with the banner lower their tails, then the :kitty: chorus and lunamoth "orchestra" exit stage right, a couple of kittens and a couple of lunas performing some tricks for lunamoth before following the rest of the musical performers*

Hey Laurie Lunamoth! :)

It is finally your birthday! I gotta tell you, I was so disappointed because you were the reason I did cupcakes this month to begin with, as you are kind of famous around here for yours. I had so much fun putting together a nice plate for your birthday—it had the prettiest little lunamoth on it—different than the one on the original picture I made for the cake tower. But, as you may have already read, I lost a bunch of files since then, and so I lost my good picture. :mad: She was great—she had the whole “lunamoth ballet slippers/petticoat thang” goin’ on! Anyway, this one is kind of messy, and so I am a bit embarrassed, but I hope it shows up okay. Just ask J.H. how upset I was about all this!

And so it wasn’t until last night that I realized even if I do recover some of my files from the hard drive, it would not be in time to post that one. So, at least I was able to get back the program I worked with before, and I have been trying to re-create the picture—been ‘sugar-frosting” all morning! LOL. It really isn’t nearly as good as the first one, but here ya go—

Raspberry swirl ice cream, anyone?

I’ll leave you, then, with these words….they seem to apply to how I felt when I lost the other file:

“Someone left the cake out in the rain….
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to make it,
And I’ll never have that recipe again….”

(Chuckle, chuckle) :D

Have a great day—love ya, dear luna!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LUNAMOTH!

InLove it is beautiful and I can't imagine how you could put a petticoat and slippers on a moth! I am pleased (and hmbled) that you would go to such great lengths to make such a special present for me! *guilt sets in for not being around as much as I used to*

It is perfect Sept weather here today, and even though Roger is out of town now he will be back this evening. My new puppy is a lot of fun so I'm going out to play and spend time with him today, and I also have a 'playgroup' with Ella and a bunch of my mom friends. So, it will be a wonderful day.

Again, thank you so much, and to everyone for the birthday wishes!

Much love,
luna

Thank you Phyllis! I love the luna :kitty: serenade and performance! Please help yourself to a slice of the beautiful luna cake InLove created! Don't be shy, take a big piece!

:D
 
Mmmm....now THAT looks good, Pathless. :)

Laurie, I'm not sure that the little pic will make such a good screensaver--haha. When it gets big, there's lots of flaws! Oh, and actually, I didn't literally put ballet slippers and a tutu on the lunamoth. I have just always thought that if you look really close at one, they kind of look that way, anyway. Ever noticed?

I sure hope you had a nice day with your l'il pup and your family. Sorry about that gopher--he is a troublemaker, isn't he?

InPeace,
InLove
 
Thank you much Flow, Jack, Pathless. Pathless...that cake knocks my ballet slippers off! ;) What a pretty one...so wish that and the one InLove made were sitting on my desk right now, although they are really too pretty to even cut.

I've had a nice day everyone, thank you for your birthday wishes. I got cards and flowers from my family, and best of all the puppy, Tucker, is tuckered out so I get to read a few posts before I go to bed. :D

You are all so wonderful...thank you.

I did not think about what would happen if I enlarged it...oh well...it's pretty as it is. I never thought of the ballet slippers and tutu on the luna moth. Being a plant physiologist, to me the wings always look like perfect leaves, including tiny unopened buds on a twig that runs along the top.

I had a great day. Wish I could have played golf, but when I'm golfing again that will mean that my girls are more grown up, and I'm not in a big hurry for that to happen. :D

InLove, you made my day. :hugs:

Laurie
