I want to thank everyone here for all of the fantastic birthday wishes I received over the weekend. I’m sorry I haven’t been in touch with everyone who called, but we had quite a busy weekend. Nevertheless, it’s nice to feel loved. 
On Saturday afternoon, Todd and I took the girls to Jenny Bec’s new location in Brentwood for a book signing with Buzz Aldrin. How many kids in Cara and AJ’s generation will be able to say they met one of the first men to walk on the moon? It’s easy to find yourself starstruck in Brentwood, but this was absolutely incomparable.
Too bad we couldn’t get AJ to smile for the camera. Stinker.
Saturday night was dinner with the family at 320 Main in Seal Beach. If you happen to be in the area, their Chilean sea bass is absolutey incredible. So incredible that I can’t bring myself to try anything else on the menu.
Sunday, my actual birthday, was a mellow day. I spent half the morning reading from the Sookie Stackhouse series, and then we went over to Aunt Panny’s house for a big family party (my grandmother’s birthday is the day before mine, and my cousin’s three days later).
Following that we went to Disneyland, where we actually walked right into our friends Diana, David, and Aurelia. Actually, Diana spotted Todd (whose pretty hard to miss in any crowd, thanks to his height), and it was great for the girls, as they were able to go on a couple rides together.
We wrapped up the night with some clam chowder from the Fish Company (who could ask for anything more?), and Todd noted that all of his ladies passed out on the couches very early. It was a perfect birthday!
How are you liking the books? I’ve got about 7 of them, and really like them!
