Since it's my birthday (finger snap across my face), I get to ask for unreasonable things, right? So I want you, gentle reader, (that includes you, all you stalkers who never leave comments) to leave me a comment with an interesting or boring fact about yourself. You can be anonymous, I don't mind.
Now I want some cake. Happy Birthday me.

Happy Birthday Jenilynn...I'm one of the stalkers...so sorry, but it's been fun to keep up with you and your cute family. It has been too long since I have seen you. Jami, Adree, the kids and I are hanging out in Park City for a couple of days. We're having fun and I love spending time with the girls. Well, I will try to leave a comment once in a while. I loved your list of 30 things about yourself. Trust me. . .your not old! Just amazing for someone your age!!!!
Cathy
So if you are "old", what am I? Happy birthday!
I forgot my fun fact...one of my favorite foods is corn on the cob.
With all the fun facts you have about yourself KJ, THAT is the one you came up with. My fun fact is I "almost die" a couple times a week. KJ gets on my case for thinking that I really didn't almost die. Fortunately he is right some of the time, but sometimes I really almost do die... or get really hurt, which some people would say is probably worse than dying. Unfortunately we can't actually ask a dead person which is worse.
That was a great Birthday tribute to yourself. Fun to Read! Here is a boring fact about myself: My favorite part of a T.V. show I am watching is the preview for the next weeks show...I can't live without it. Got to see the "next time on..."
Happy 30th!
Well, JL not my finest moment... but I too burned my little sis. with a curling iron one time, I have always felt bad about it, and she likes to tease me about it now. :)
One FUN fact about me is that I love to do voice impressions, 'Barney the Dinosaur' is my best. A boring fact is that I love to do absolutely nothing sometimes, no noise, no where to go, nothing to do but veg... very lazy but very therapeutic! :)
Happy Birthday!!!
I want to hear more about the being arrested and in jail thing and I love that you plan meals around dessert... but who doesn't do that?
Fact: I hate dirt, dust, sand or anything with that same texture and makes me feel dirty. It actually gives me chills just thinking of it on my skin
Happy B-day! It was so fun seeing you the other day-I just wish it could have been for longer!
hmmm...interesting fact hey? I'm going to have to think about this one for a while. I guess one sad fact is that I have had more root canals than you can count on BOTH hands. YOWZER!
30 is NOT old!!! It's a great age! Half the people in my office are over 50, some are over 60, and more than 75% are over 40. I'm the spring chicken of the office. Well, one of them. Okay, not really. But still . . . I'm not 40, much less 50 or 60. THAT's old. :)
Congratulations on reaching the 30 milestone. It's a feat, to be sure.
I'm with Jami in requesting more details on the arrest and jail thing. That's hilarious. If it makes you feel any better, I have too, and I'm sure it's for something much more stupid than yours. Game on!
well, happy birthday! I am 30 (did not realize that we are the same age) and I am not old!!!
we have some common things about us, I don't get offended but offend easy, and other things.
I don't however like to talk controversy.
It was good to see you, and I am glad that we have our blogger world to keep in touch.
Hey, I also wanted to tell you that, well my comment on your weight may have been creepy the other day, but I didnt' mean for it to be, hopefully it wasn't in your mind. I was just thinking that on here you sound like you don't think that you look good. or that you are not happy with how you look or will look when the "sick weightloss" comes back on. and I just want you to know that I think you are beautiful, and you should(if you are not) be happy with yourself. Not creepy okay?
Happy Birthday. I love your tribute to yourself. 30 is great. Maybe you should just aim to pack 30 years' of experiences into one year so that next year at this time all your readers are just as entertained.
Happy Bday! You suck that you got to live out your 20's a little longer than the rest of us! One thing that people probably know but I try to hide is that my car is always a mess! I dont mean the run of the mill kind I mean like I dont clean my car more than twice a year. I have seriously found some interesting science projects in the back seat. Sadly it doesnt bother me, if my house is messy I go crazy but the car doesnt even phaze me!
