March 29th is CrackleSauce!
Today's the day! It's finally here ~ March 29th. The greatest day in the history of days. Okay, that might be a bit much. It is a pretty fabulous day.
Did you know on this day:
Edward of York defeated Queen Margaret to become King Edward IV. That was back in 1461 before the internet.
In 1886 Dr. John Pemberton brewed the first batch of Coca-Cola in his backyard!
Waaaay back in 2004 the Republic of Ireland became the first country to ban smoking in all work places including restaurants and bars. Way to go!
Some pretty cool peeps share their birthday with yours truly:
Eric Idle is 69
Lucy Lawless is 44 Go Xena!
Megan Hilty of Smash (I'm not printing her age because she's Ā a baby compared to the rest of us!)
Elle MacPherson is 48
Amy Sedaris is 51
and Perry Ferrell of Jane's Addiction is 53. Dang I love that band.
Other cool things about today?
Today is my 99th blog post. This morning when I took my car to get serviced, the guy gave me an upgraded GPS for my birthday! AND since they have to keep my car overnight they are going to detail it. Sweet!
**I now highly recommend getting your car or any other service done on your birthday**
I was hoping I could tell you all that we got our hotel of choice for Comic-Con, but I haven't heard back from them yet. Darn! Fingers crossed.
I got to have lunch with my good friend Tey yesterday, Laura today, I'm having a super fab dinner with the Hubs and Kid tonight, and tomorrow I'm seeing Jenny Hansen and her Baby Girl!
I know it sounds silly, but when I logged onto facebook this morning and saw all the birthday wishes, I got a little verklempt. No, a lot. I might've cried a tear too. Or eighteen.
This has been the best week ever. Thank you everyone for celebrating with me. Much love.
You deserve it, sweets! I love your service mechanic! I would so use them, but it’s kinda far for me. š You’ve have a very full week with more to come–way to celebrate!! Take a picture of your dinner tonight and your family to share with us! Have fun!
Thanks Marcia! I know, he’s such a sweetheart. The pic at the restaurant didn’t come out (dumb waiter didn’t know how to operate my phone). We had a great time, though!
I was out most of the day–HAPPY BIRFFFFDAY!!!
Thanks Amy! High paw to you!!
Happy Happy Birthday, Tameri! Sounds like you’ve had an awesome few days already – hope tonight is just as wonderful! š
Thanks Julie! It was and now I’m exhausted. š
Sorry – I wasn’t aware. Happy Birthday. I think I’m going to start counting mine backwards, so in 15 or 20 years you might catch up with me.
You’re so funny. Is that what we do now? Count backwards? Sounds groovy to me.
Happy Birthday, dear Tameri. I will be celebrating with you in spirit!
So cool with the GPS and the car detailing. You totally deserve such wonderful gifts and then more.
Say “hi” to Jenny and Baby Girl from me. I’m so jealous š
Oh, I had NO IDEA that Elle MacPherson was already 48. I always think of her as a thirty-some. Well, she’s an international model so go figure, haha.
*waving hi!!!*
Hey, Jenny! š
You two are so funny. Waving hi to everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes Angela!!
Say hello to Jenny! And you know what I think of March.
(also, thanks to you I learned that Megan Hilty and I are 2 yrs 2 days apart š )
March Rules. Period. You and Megan are almost like twins. š
Happy Birthday to you, too gorgeous!
Happy Birthday Tameri! Hope you had/have a fab day! š
Thanks Cheryl! I miss you around the blogosphere. So glad you stopped in today.
Have a truly fantastic day and week! Heck you may as well party all weekend! WOOHOO!
The party’s been going all week and I’m starting to get a little bit of sugar and excitement overload! One more night and then I can rest and detox!!
Happy Birthday, and nice to remember that Ireland did something first for once š
š Ireland totally rocks. I’ve never been there and I think I need to remedy that. Thanks for the birthday wishes, my friend!
Happy birthday, dear lady. I’m so glad this has turned out to be a very special birthday. and your 99th post? well done. I’m impressed.
Thanks so much Louise. It’s been a great week.
It’s also great because you and my honey have the SAME BIRTHDAY!!
Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!!!
Well, you KNOW I think that’s just awesomeness right there. Have fun celebrating with your hunny this weekend! Loved seeing you yesterday!!
Happy Birthday Beautiful! š You deserve to have the most amazing weekend EVER! Celebrate to your heart’s content. I got an email saying they received my hotel request. Sitting in the Comic Con queue now. Huge sigh.
Aw, thanks so much Debra! Let’s hope the hotel faeries are with us this weekend. I keep checking my email for confirmation. That would be so great to get the same hotel. We’re going to have funnnnn.
That would be awesome! Keeping our fingers crossed.
Nice BD present at the dealership. I love the “on this day” list. What a neat idea. I’m so glad you were born!
I may be late, but was thinking about you yesterday. Happy Birthday. What a great way to spend the week.
You are never late, Nancy! The party’s still going on… Thanks for stopping in!!
Happy Birthday Tameri! Hope it was everything you asked for…..=)
Hey Carrie! Yep, it was and more. Thanks for helping me celebrate!
Happy Birthday! (#4, if we count facebook š )
You must have posted this after I went to bed last night š
Yay for free upgrades! I shall have to try the getting-the-car-serviced thing on my birthday. Maybe I’ll get a free detail if I pull the “my birthday falls on Memorial Day half the time” sob party . . . though this year it falls on a Wednesday. That almost sucks more :/
Definitely try the car thing! It was so nice to pick up my car and it was all shiny and new looking. Of course today is misty/rainy. So I might have to make my husband drive everywhere so my car can stay pretty. š
Memorial Day, huh? Then think of it this way ~ the whole country is celebrating your birthday!!
*Champagne cork popping* It’s been so much fun celebrating your birthday week … a little dangerous too *hiccup*. One more time, here’s a toast to fabulous you ~clink~
Ahhh, champagne. And you have the good stuff from France, too. That’s what I’m talking about!! *hiccup* **giggle, giggle**
Thanks my friend. Love the toast *hiccup* ~ clink!
āŖ Happy birthday to you ā« happy birthday to you ā« happy birthday dear Tameri ā« happy birthday ā« to you!!!! āŖ
