Happy Birthday meeeeeee! - all I want is a nice sunny day and some drupal-issues solved, hahaha. ;) →[More:] I got the sunny day - here's to BBQ! YEAY! Also, I got a gigantic heart-shaped fried egg as breakfast in bed this morning. Too cute!

damn I wish I had taken a picture of that egg before I totally gorged on it.

That egg is worthless without pictures. I'm sure your breakfast benefactor would be willing to do a repeat performance (thought probably not right away - when is your anniversary?)

I am eagerly waiting to hear about your drupal-issues and their resolution; your conversion prompted my first serious thoughts about my WordPress addiction in some time. And now, the news that Movable Type 4 is going Open Source gives me that much more to think about.

Speaking of eggs, I got a pleasant surprise when I ordered breakfast for dinner at Jack in the Box the other night. Ordering two of their cheap egg sandwiches (99 cents US with ham; 30 cents more to substitute sausage or bacon), I got both ham AND sausage for my 1.29 each. Bad for my cholesterol, good for my attitude.

Yes, the giant-heart egg is worthless without pics but it was hella tasty (and I think it was four eggs so my cholesterol is shot to hell today too... Dang! My mans trying to kill me with lurve! Ha!)

As for issues, I've been stumping the drupal community (and me): breadcrumbs don't appear, search doesn't show most recent first, preview broken for admins only, using breadcrumbs (related to the first one I guess) with categories.... - So while I do like the flexibility and endless (and I really mean endless) ability to extend and tweak any drupal CMS to do exactly what you want I also think one shouldn't move over until you've found the "killer module" that makes it all worthwhile, there will be some stumbling blocks. However, there's even a WP to drupal migration widget that can help you do the move and that's pretty nice!

oh and always have a sandbox to try things on. Some modules don't play well with others and on a live site you'll find out too late.

Happy Birthday! "Gorged" is a new one for me...luckily, I was able to extract a definition thanks to context! heh.

A Very Happy Birthday to you! Sounds like it started off nicely!

omg!!!!!!! Happy birthday, darling girl! I totally owe you a cake, once I find my photoshop installation disk (stupid, corrupted photoshop).

In the meantime, let me say "I love you" with steaming, hot, throbbing manflesh:

Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you get to do all sorts of fun things while wearing awesome clothing and being followed around by a gaggle of adoring fans.

Unless the gaggle gets annoying, in which case you're allowed to tell them to back off.

or if they talk too much you can simply gag the gaggle.

HAHA! This thing on?

Catapulting birthday wishes and whuffles in a giant ball your way, dabitch!

Hey! Thank you all! It was a great day, started kinda rainy (but with heart shaped eggs) and then BLAMMO sun sun suuuuuuuun! So, buncha people and their cute kids in tow came over and all the kids played while we grilled fish and stuff and had a merry ol' time. I think I'm *gasp* tanned now!
posted by dabitch 05 June | 16:24
Woowoo! Sorry I missed the day (I take it it's over out there where you live), but happy birthday, dabitch! I'm a firm believer in birthweeks anyway, so there!

Thanks! - Oh now I ruined it, more comments than years. LOVE the pictures in this thread though, so I had to say that. :)
posted by dabitch 06 June | 03:50
Oh, and Citrusfreak - Danes say "tilykke". Swedes say Grattis. :) You were close.
