Happy Birthday!

A big, rousing round of Happy Birthday goes out to fellow blogger (and esteemed member of DLO, not to mention one of my very best friends!) Emily as she turns 28 today. Emily's birthday also marks my first foray into knitting FOOD, as demonstrated by the cupcake shown here and delivered to her doorstep yesterday afternoon. Here's hoping my little knit (sugar free!) goodie can provide all the birthday hugs and love I am not able to give in person (sadly, no surprises in a big red bow on the front porch this year).

I must also throw a birthday shoutout to Tabitha, with whom I will be celebrating this evening with wings and beer (is there any other way?).

And *both* of these lovely ladies are lucky enough to share their special day with National Pancake Day. Visit your local IHOP for a free shortstack today, and donate the money you would have spent on it to the Children's Miracle Network. Fluffy buttermilk drenched in delicious syrup is totally calorie free, when it's for a good cause.

Happy birthday, Emily! Hope 28 is the best year yet!
