Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me….
Guess what?
I know. I know. You’re all thinking:
“How can she be another year older when she looks so incredibly youthful?”
“What? That time of year again, but we are still recovering from how amazing her last birthday was.” etc
But yes.
Indeed it is.
And for those now fretting about how to get the plethora of gifts to me here.
Fear not.
I have a plan…
Without any postage, packaging or debate over which expensive piece of jewellery to purchase you can instead make a super simple donation to SolarAid, the fantastic charity we are raising money for.
Just click on this handily placed link, grab your credit card and be as wildly over generous as possible.
Go on…
Did I mention it’s my birthday?
Anyway, in other marginally less narcissistic news, we have finally hit the road again.
It was pretty difficult to leave Austin after such a great few days. (Technically yesterday it was impossible to leave.)
So thank you so much to all of the fantastic people we got to bring the New Year in with - lots of margaritas, hats and an awe inspiring/terrifying Dirty Dancing lift post open bar… (Ashton you are a beautiful lunatic!)

To Chris, Jason, Ed and Eli at the Bicycle Sports Shop for fixing up our bikes, as well as Carrie for introducing us. (They are so shiny. Plus the gears change and everything.)
So clean!
And the biggest thanks of all to Vanessa for putting up with us for so long. So wonderful to see you lovely lady. Missing you already.
Anyway, leave we finally did and our aching legs propelled us the 90 miles to Brenham today without too much complaint. The plan is to head to New Orleans in six days but as yet another freak snow storm is rapidly approaching (seriously - that was so 2009…) that could change.
As ever, will let you know how it goes though.
For now, I hope that wherever you were, your New Year rocked and wherever you are, 2010 is treating you well.

P.s. Jamie got a fortune cookie today. He opened it with trepidation and excitement. What words of wisdom would it impart. What mystery would it reveal…
“You are what you think about all day long.”
So - there you have it ladies and gentlemen.
Irrefutable proof that he’s a big t*t!

Happy Birthday from the girls in Via El Chico, one brunette and two platinum blondes. Is your US cell phone down? We’ve been ringing for a week or so and cannot get you. Want to arrange a rendevous in New Orleans. Let us now how/where/when to catch up. Luv from the Marian (and Ned)

Happy Birthday Suzie ~
Sorry I’ve only just been able to see your latest blog (at work) as computer down at home: but sounds like it was happy!!! Much Love to you both once again… we are also suffering snowstorms and blizzards even on the Isle of Wight!!! It has stopped everything here and isn’t due to subside for 10 days. Good luck for the next bit of your trip - will be interesting to hear about New Orleans… Anna xxxxxxx

Arrggghhh
Time for the annual “sh*t cr*p and b*gger I’ve missed Susie’s birthday”!
Sorry darling, the swearing is a bit late this year, but the sentiments of being useless and feeling bad about missing your birthday are as strong as ever!
Did you have a good one? May I take a brief moment to point out that you’re as old as me now!? (No, not for long, but still…) Hope you had a chance to celebrate properly.
I’m very impressed with the shiny bike and red shoes, and of course the break-dancing, looks like you’ve really come on there!
Love you lots and can’t wait for you to get home. Oh by the way I told Cute John you’re in the States, and you can cycle over to New York to say hi. I’m sure it’s not far from your planned route… what’s a few more km hey?
See you reeeeaalllllly soon! xxx
