Happy Birthday

I’m 35 years old today.

Technically, this means I could meet the age requirement to be The President of the United Sates. Since that is about the ONLY requirement I meet for the position besides the fact that I was born here, nobody has to frighten themselves with that thought.

Hee.

I wanted to have my White House recap up today, but I’m currently riding around Gettysburg battlefield and only have about 2/3 of it done and I want to finish my sight seeing and my party tonight, so we’ll shoot for Monday or Tuesday.

I WILL tell you that it was one of the best days of my life. Here’s a sneak peak to tell you one of the many reasons WHY:

(For those wondering what standing on that podium was like, yes… I about passed out and died.)

It’s been a good birthday thus far today (except for the fact that I am apparently woefully under prepared as I have no “zombie survival plan”.) My friend, Erin, came down from Baltimore to hang out with us all day. She’s been reading me for four years, since the days of Blogger Minima Black! I’ve LOVED hanging out with her and she is coming to my birthday bloggity meet up at Clyde’s tonight. (7:30pm in Columbia, Maryland. Be there or be square, yo.)

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes.

I really appreciate all the love that pours out from this internet of ours.

It’s amazing.

xoxo!

    HOLY CRAP!! That pic makes me want to cry. My dream job is white house press secretary. Seriously.

    I’ll be 36 in Feb. Maybe I should start to think about a run for the office myself (ha!).

    Happy birthday!

    You look like you been hanging out at the White House all your life, a natural! I know this whole trip has been exciting for you. I have been to D.C. three or four times and loved it every time. Never got to go talk to the White House before, though. You rock!

    Happy Birthday!

    If you’re at Gettysburg, you passed by my old house on your way up Route 15. Wave at it when you go back through Frederick, okay?

    And enjoy the rest of your visit!!

    (what do you think of that puny little hill that you passed that is called a ski resort?)

    Add my Happy Birthday, too!

    Loralee-
    I’m so stinkin’ happy for you I can’t even tell you. Still want all the gory details of the entire visit to the White House, your conversation and every little thing. Leave no details undescribed.
    And I hope you paid my respects to Little Round Top, too. Gettysburg is a sacred place.
    Happy birthday, you amazingly beautiful soul.

    D-
