October 10th, 1978. Game One of the World Series. Yankees versus Dodgers, away game.
October 10th, 1978. Yom Kippur begins at sundown.
October 10th, 1978. My mom goes into labour. There is not a single doctor to be found at North Shore Hospital, on Long Island, NY. The Jews are home fasting. The Gentiles are in front of the TV. Hell, I think my dad was too. He didn't make it in time for my debut sur scène.
October 11th, 1978, 5:34 am. In the immortal words of Tristram Shandy, I am born. And so is a Mommy.
Happy Birthday to both of us.

Ooooooooops
A day late :(
Well many happy returns for yesterday! Hmmm..what does that mean...that you get to return your presents without a fuss?
That gateau is somethin' else Lauren. What's inside those puffy white egg-shapes?
That is a decidedly FRENCH cake!
So Bonne Anniveraire :)

Carol-- I thought it was a very stylish cake! but alas I got it from someone's flickr page (musingsorchards), I don't know if it's French or not :)
Oh happy birthday you beautiful, sophisticated little thing you. I forgot your birthday was so close to mine, no wonder it was so easy to speak to you. Please drink a glass of wine and have a fine meal for me.
Thinking of you always,

I've loved your blog for so long...and now I know why: we share a birthday! And a name! Wait that's strange...
Cheers to you :)
Dear heart - #20 of "28 Things" needs an update too - otherwise I have some explaining to do. :)
I'm sorry this is so belated, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY gorgeous girl!
I hope you had a lovely day and managed to pick up something fabulous from Le BM regardless of the stroppy, I mean strappy, incident.
