This is a picture taken with my new phone. Thus the fuzziness, but it’s kind of cute.

Love Grows
Amazingly appropriate, considering the quantity of rosemary I use.

You Are Rosemary |
 You are stable and grounded. You may take a slow, steady approach to live, but you’re a survivor. You are an intellectual and very rational. You can see things from a logical, detached viewpoint. You are successful but not particularly ambitious. You have a way of letting success come to you. |

You Say It’s Your Birthday
Happy birthday to… me! The big 48. I’m officially contiguous, even as there are secession problems.
There are a whole slew, if not a Seattle, of other birthdays today, which I’d be remiss not to mention while I am here, even though I have stopped the regular announcements.
First and foremost, my mother, which makes her 74. Which with modern health and life expectancies – the same ones that make 65 an absurd and nationally bankrupting retirement age – would be famously sung by the Beatles if they were happening now. Or perhaps even 84, my age if I were dyslexic. Difference being divides by nine. Obscure accounting humor, anyone?
There’s Mickey, of the now defunct Mickey’s Musings blog.
There’s Bogie, who has read me from the early days, and whom I have actually met in person.
There’s Peter Davidson, a favorite eclectic read who up and disappeared, though the blog remains, suspended in time. I’d still like to know what happened, and see him come back or what he’s posting now if he’s elsewhere.
Imelda Bettinger is a name I picked up along the way to add to the list, 35 this year as Deb will be. Darn kids! (I believe age difference between us was less a factor than could have been, but more of one than I’d expected.)
Finally, Sheila Scarborough is another of us cool 1961 babies. Go us!
Happy birthday!

It’s OK to Hold It Against Me
You Go for Brains |
 When it comes to attraction, you go for more than meets the eye. Eye candy is all fine and good, but you need more good looks to be into someone. You’re looking for a deep connection, and that can only happen when you meet someone who thinks like you. |

Leggo My Ego

Your Ego is Medium |
 You have what psychologists would call a healthy ego. You have high self esteem, but you don’t think too highly of yourself. You believe in yourself, but you are also able to believe in others. |

Fell Out Long Ago
|
You Are 80% Open Minded |
 You are so open minded that your brain may have fallen out! Well, not really. But you may be confused on where you stand. You don’t have a judgmental bone in your body, and you’re very accepting. You enjoy the best of every life philosophy, even if you sometimes contradict yourself. |

I’d Prefer to Have Kept My Integrity
Genital Integrity Awareness Week. Via Rob Sama.
I’ve gone from having no particular opinion to believing circumcision is barbaric, and would even had I not eventually learned that mine was… performed less than skillfully, if not exactly “botched.” Pardon the TMI.

Subtle Coolness?

You Color Your Life With Subtle Coolness |
 You are a full of grace and peace. You don’t let yourself get worked up. You tend to be a bit reserved. You only speak when you really have something to say. You aspire to a lot in life, and you’re quietly working on your plan to take over the world. |
