Happy Birthday, Sweet Machine!

2008 August 15
by Kate Harding

Unlike, Liss, I am not so good at Photoshop, so instead of a fabulous birthday cake creation, I can only offer well wishes and baby donuts. Happy birthday, woman!

Happy birthday to my nephew Will, too. But he’s somewhat less of a committed Shapeling.

    According to my calendar of women scientist’s birthdays (shameless plug), it’s also the birthday of Nobel-winning biochemist Gerty Cori. Obviously a bloody good day to be born on.

    The Ides of August! I always wish I’d been born on the Ides of something. Color me jealous.

    Happy birthday!! Congrats on being nearly out of your 20s!

    Happy Birthday, SM!

    Will would thank you for your wishes himself, but he is currently sleeping off a kid-hangover caused by too much Diet Pepsi with caffeine last night, plus extreme excitement over it being his birthday eve, which combined to create an almost sleepless night, followed by a 5:30am awakening to FINALLY OPEN HIS PRESENTS.

    Did you get a new bike, too?

    I want a new bike!

    how old is Will?

    12, which you might not have guessed from that description, but since I’m the same way at 33 (only with an actual hangover), it’s probably genetic.

    Happy birthday, Sweet Machine, and thank you very much for the poem.

  17. 2008 August 15

    I meant the link to the poem, I know you didn’t author it. But had you not been you, I would not have read it. So thank you.

    HOORAY!

    Thank you for being born, the world appreciates it (if not the world, then at least your loved ones and of course the Shapelings). Have an awesome anniversary of said auspicious day.

    I really hope it involves baby-flavored cake and ice cream. :)

    Happy birthday, Sweet Machine, and many, many more!

    Happy Birthday, Sweet Machine, I hope you have a wonderful year! Happy Birthday to Will as well. I think when I was his age I’d have enjoyed having a whole bunch of people wishing me happy even if I didn’t have a clue who any of them were.

    Happy birthday Sweet Machine.

    I knew a girl growing up (our moms were BFFs) Who was born on August 15th 1981 (I can’t remember how old you are but it’s close to that right?) So I can vouch for it being a very good birthday.

    Many more!

    Oh wow, I didn’t know I shared a birthday with superspy Julia Child! I am such a bad Smithie.

  43. 2008 August 15

    Somehow my comment didn’t get through…you might want to Google the blog Cake Wrecks because I tried to put the link into the comment and it might have gone to a spam file.

    There are baby cakes there…I know, Happy Birthday!

  44. 2008 August 15

    Yay! Happy Birthday! I hope you get a pony!

    (“pony” = “whatever you want most, up to and including an actual pony”)

    Arwen: “Hippo birdeye two ewes!”

    Brilliant!

    And Sweet Machine – I’ve got a whole flock of ewes here on the farm – take your pick. May you get what you wish for… and then find that it really IS what you wanted!
