Happy birthday, Lucy!

My twin sister Lucy and I turn a whopping 32 today (eeps)! I wish I could beam myself to San Francisco to buy her some carrot cake.

  9. Feliz Cumpleanos! to you and your sister. maybe you can buy the cake and she can buy one and share it over skype? I know the feeling about not being together with your sister. I missed out when my older sis went to NYC, I wished I had been there, but I was miles away. Hope you have a wonderful day though!

  23. Happy Birthday to you! And good call on the carrot cake - it's my celebratory confection of choice always! (minus the horrible little marzipan carrots and bunnies that sometimes come glued to the store-bought kind!)

    Oh my goodness! Well, I just have to say that I read your blog every day and think that you and it are just lovely, and I've never left a comment (even though I always think about it, but maybe I just felt too shy) but on this lovey day I had to, as it turns out to be my birthday as well. I guess I must have known all along that you were a kindred spirit! Many happy returns Goddess Jo! Fondly, Arielle
