Today I am 36….yes, on 09-09-09. How’s that for some trippy numerology? 3+6=9, 3,6, and 9 are all factors of 36. 3+6+9+9+9=36. Yes, I’ve given this birthday some thought.

I don’t know if anyone else thinks this way, in numbers, like I do. But I’ve always liked the number 9, probably because of my birth date. My plans? I don’t have many. But there’s been a home made birthday card “hiding” on the couch for a week with my name on it. And candles. Can a mom really ask for more?  (and the candles on this cake below? times that by THREE. I’ve reached the age where it’s a fire hazard to actually light the right number of candles…)
