Today is my birthday and this has been an awesome birthday for me already. Here’s why.
Thirteen Reasons My Birthday Rocks
1. I got a contract for “Regaining Command” from Liquid Silver Books.
2. My Mom gave me a new necklace
3. My sister sent me a gift card. WOOOT
4. I bought Tri Tip steaks
My one indulgence
5. I don’t have to work this week
I thought I was going to have to go to the office, but the secretary came back early and I’m off the hook.
6. I have a submission into Miriam Kriss and Heather Osbourn
7. Forty is the new twenty so I hear
8. My phone is fixed
Long story but let’s just say AT&T gave me a birthday present I love.
9. My In-Laws Gave me a Border’s GC
OMG I LOVE it when I can shop at bookstores!
10. “The Secret She Keeps” is in final edits.
11. “Regaining Command” is already in edits
12. I got a signed copy of “The Mark of the Vampire Queen” by Joey W. Hll.
Dayna got me one because she lurrrrves me.
13. I’m Forty
And I think that rocks.

Glad you are taking 40 so well! Today is another good friend’s b-day and she is turning 40 too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOO YOOOOU!
Big Hugs and congrats on the new contract! That is absolutely fantastic. Liquid Silver rocks!
And sweetie when I met you at Nationals I did not think you looked 40 at all. You were looking fine, compared to deer in the headlights me! LOL!
Happy birthday lady! You look great for a 30 year old!!!
I took 36 a lot worse. It think I’ve accepted my age, Tricia. Well, for today anyway. LOL.
And Amy Dahlink! Thank you!
Sandi, LOL.
Forty is one of the best years. Enjoy how you start caring less about what others think and more about being the best that you can. Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday Jennifer — hope it continues to rock!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!
Hey-yo, 40 is the new 30. Since I turned 40 in April, I’m almost 31-and-a-half.
Congrats on all of the work you’ve got going on. GO, you.
Now tell me…what is the pull of a tri-tip steak? How does it compare with a filet (one of my indulgences)?
ANDI!!! Guess what I got in the mail today!!! The book I need to sign and send you, “Edge of the Storm”.
Tri Tips are a little less expensive than filets. I like them a lot.
*mwah*
Happy Birthday, Jen!
Big congrats on your new contract! Woo!
And ‘life begins at 40’ was completely true for me.
Thanks Julia!!!! Expect an email from me when my book comes out!
:::sigh::: but no gift/wish list on Amazon……
Happy Birthday Girl!
Thank Attila. I usually have the Amazon thing covered for Christmas. LOL.
40 does rock! I entered this same decade a month ago today, and it’s been pretty good so far.
Welcome to the 40 club, where hot mamas rule!
A day late and a dollar short. Story of my life. š
Happy birthday, friend. You rock! I hope it was a great one.

WOOOOOOOOOT! Kris!! You and me baby! Fantastic and Forty.
