Oh, my! I forgot to post!

Some of you may know that I don't have much luck with my birthday. This year was different--very different.

I had tickets to go see one of my favorite authors, Harlan Coben, and the singer/songwriter, Missy Higgins, on my actual birthday. I invited my daughter to go with me, but I didn't mention Missy, just Harlan. I didn't think Lil Bit knew Missy Higgins, but I knew that she knew of Harlan.

We get to the place, and I'm handing over our tickets when I feel this sharp jabbing in my shoulder. It's my daughter poking the heck out of my shoulder. She's holding the program she was handed when we entered the place. She's jabbing my shoulder and then the program where Missy's name is. She's over the moon!

It was so awesome! Best book/CD signing I've attended. They make such a great duo. Harlan and Missy play well off each other. She performs in between Harlan talking about his books and just life in general. They both answered questions before signing their respective media.

Maybe it's a good thing that I was remiss about my birthday posting because I've had a chance to try on the clothing and shoes of 42. They fit well. I don't know about all that regeneration of our cells every 7 years or so, but I do know that 42 has been so comfortable. It's like I found myself again. I got to enjoy my favorite things (books and music) with one of my favorite people (my daughter). It was a great way to start the next year in my life.
