As of today, I am old enough…

March 13, 2006 by Wendy

to run for president.

I know, that’s not nearly as exciting as getting to drink legally.  Oh, well.

    You share a birthday with Adam Clayton,
    L. Ron Hubbard and Neil Sedaka. I just cannot figure out who is the coolest name on the cake. Go ahead,L. Ron honey, blow out all your candles!

    Happy birthday!
    Drinking illegally was always more exciting than drinking legally, anyway, so it’s not like that birthday should really be more exciting. Wendy for president!

    Happy birthday! As my dad always says when I complain about getting older, “It beats the alternative.”

    Happy Birthday from a new reader!

    You have the same birthday as Herbie the Love Bug. Just one of those weird random tidbits.

    Congratulations! I’d be able to run myself in a few months except for that other rule about only ‘natural born citizens’. Oh well. I’ll vote for you if you run (oh wait, I can’t do that either). Okay, nevermind. Just have a great day!!

    Happy birthday! If you think about it, you’re really just 18, but with 17 years of experience.

    I guess the next cool thing to be old enough for is a yearly colonoscopy.

    Happy Birthday!

    Happy birthday, Wendy! Do something fun! And after that, get your baseline mammogram, which is recommended at age 35. 😛

    Yeah, whoa. Happy (belated) Birthday, Wendy!

    And about that running for prez thing: why the hell not? Chris could be yer Karl Rove. You got two votes here. Plus, I — ahem — know people who know people, ya know.

    I’ll be 35 in August, I still think I’m wrong about that, surely it’s only 25, but no, the math holds up…dammit. Still we’re damn fun women right? Right! So Happy Birthday!!!!!!!

    Hey Wendy,

    Happy (belated) Birthday! Not sure if you remember me? Bif, blonde gal – we had Ethiopian food while you were in Boston.

    Just FYI – you share a birthday with neice Litah, who’s the coolest 8 yr old on the planet. Also, if you wait one more year, I can be your running mate. 🙂

    Hope all is good with you!

    Cheers,
    Taunia
