You can't hi-jack your own blog, silly goose. :) That's mine and Kelly's job. LOL!

Happy, Happy Birthday!!! Your bbq and cake look SO delicious. Have a fantastic birthday and be sure to stop by my blog today to pick up your cake. *wink*

Kelly said…
Happy Happy! Well, you are certainly getting lots of well wishes today. And God's girl is right - you do deserve those 100 comments after your funny trick on ADHD's blog. LOL!!!

Well, you have a nice little write up at my blog & Edie's, and who knows what else is in store for today? And tomorrow...we'll be celebrating alittle more at your place!
From the Heart said…
I just came from Edie's to wish you a Happy Birthday. The cake she has for you is beautiful.
My oldest daughter will be your age in July. Wow! How did that happen, I'm not "old" just aged well (l0l). The l0l is "laugh out loud" not 101 yrs old. (:D)
Blessings on your Birthday,
AliceE.
Leslie said…

Hi MyADHDMe.

Thank you for your birthday wishes.
I am feeling like I shouldn't have acted like you when I was on your blog. Who am I to look at the speck in your eye when I could very well have a plank in my own.

Good Friends are such a wonderful treasure. I would like to make sure we are even. SO I am leaving an anonymous comment on my own blog to say to anyone interested, PLEASE leave me as many comments as you see fit.

"Sing praises to God, sing praises;sing praises to our King, sing praises."
Psalm 47:6
My ADHD Me said…
Now Sue, I thought your April Fool's Day joke was hilarious!!

But if you are sure that you want us to leave many comments....who am I to argue?
My ADHD Me said…
I wouldn't do this to just anyone. It must be someone who is a great friend.
My ADHD Me said…
I LOVE someone that can be sweet, calm and wonderful and then pull a great joke out of their hat (or out of their computer!)
My ADHD Me said…
As ET said, "when good bloggers go bad...."

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My ADHD Me said…
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
My ADHD Me said…
Thank you SO much for the cool birthday gifts!!
My ADHD Me said…
I'm going to show them on my blog!
My ADHD Me said…
What do you mean I don't follow through......of course I'm going to do it!
My ADHD Me said…
I might even actually DO the puzzle and then post a picture of that too!
My ADHD Me said…
I do hope you have a SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS
Day!!!
My ADHD Me said…
When I'm with her I'm confused. Out of focus and bemused. And I never know exactly where I ammmmmmm.
My ADHD Me said…
oopppps. That song sounds like me.
My ADHD Me said…
She can throw a whirling dervish out of whirl........
My ADHD Me said…
Happy Birthday Sue!
NOW we are even!!!!
Beverlydru said…
Happy Birthday Weekend. When I saw 61 comments, I knew the sisters and Heaven had been here without even looking.

I emjoy reading your thoughtful comments on aforementioned blogs.And from Kelly's birthday wishes description, I know anyone would be richly blessed to have you as a friend. Hoope your day was special.
Aspiemom said…
Happy Birthday!

(Your BBQ looks yummy!)
Heaven said…
Beverlydru- too funny:)
Heaven said…
I left a comment on ADHDme's comments to share the love with you today...
Heaven said…
But I totally see she has...
Heaven said…
already thought of the same idea.
Heaven said…
I like the anonymous comment you left yourself...
Heaven said…
what a trooper!
Heaven said…
I'm glad you are always tickled when we write...
Heaven said…
yeah for us making something of today!
Heaven said…
Happy birthday! Have I said that yet?
Heaven said…
Well, I will be back...AGAIN!
Heaven said…
There are still 9 hours, and 12 minutes left of this day...
Heaven said…
according to my time that is...
Heaven said…
Aren't birthdays great????
Heaven said…
It's a great day today
It's a great day today
It's a great day today
This is Sue J.'s b-day
Heaven said…
**I wonder if anyone thinks I'm a stalker?!?!?!**
Heaven said…
'cause I'm not you know...
Heaven said…
but I could probably be confused with one...
Heaven said…
as I comment and comment and...
Heaven said…
ok, gotta' go:)
My ADHD Me said…
Oh yes...I LOVE the anonymous comment you left yourself : )
Kelly said…
Is it time for the limbo yet? Woooo! Of course, you'll have to break out the coffee for us to help clean up later too. :-)
Sue J. said…
It's time for the birthday girl to check in (and it really IS me; note the identity; no hijacking!).

This has been one of the best days ever! Thanks to all of you for coming by to visit....

Edie, the browniful display over at Rich Gifts was delectable! Thanks for making enough for everyone to share. (Hope the Tea Party is going well, btw!)

God's girl, your bloggy commenting will always prove the adage that less really is more. The less you write per comment, somehow, the more comments there are. Scientifically, I'm not sure I can explain that. We surely are having fun, though, aren't we?

Leslie, Alice E (thanks for the disclaimer!), Beverly, Aspiemom--thanks for the well wishes and the sweet visits in between the comments. You all are brave for venturing over here today!

ADHDMe....EVEN? Oh man! One day, you and God's girl will go head to head in a comment-generating competition. It's just a matter of finding a bloggy host. You two are outrageous! But, I do thank you for a most enjoyable visit last week and the really nice blog you left on your page today--consider your speck removed!

Chatty Kelly, my dear friend....What beautiful words! You could have gone on and on--She doesn't shop; I shop for her! She likes red wine; I like white. She drives cross-country; I won't leave the state in my car (without another driver).... Thank God for Himself and coffee, because, you're right, nothing much else matches up.

But, Jesus didn't exactly pick people just like Himself either. I'm God; he's a tax collector. I'm Lord, he's a physician, etc., etc. Yet, it was the plan all along, and it surely is with us, too. Thank you, friend, for everything, and especially, this morning, for that unexplainable lump in my throat.... ;-)

More on the blog tomorrow, perhaps.

Now, you all run along and enjoy the gorgeous sunset. I've got coffee on in the kitchen that you can take with you (and I could brew up some new hazelnut or french vanilla if you'd like); more cake here or at Edie's; I'll pull the balloons in tonight, so the birds won't get tangled up in them. I gardened all day, so I'm limbo-ed out! But, feel free to party on.

Thanks, all!!
Kelly said…
So, in your analogy....who gets to be Jesus? I guess you do, and I have to be the tax collector? Gee-whiz. ;-)

Hugs girlfriend! I'll see you in the morning. Hope you had a GLORIOUS day! The weather was perfect for gardening.
Sharon Sloan said…
Happy Birthday Sue! :) You sound like such a special friend! :)

(I love doin' the "knock and run" too!)
On Purpose said…
Happy Birthday! There is a whole lotta celebrating going on here with 88 comments! Wow!!

I love you my friend...can I email my address and you can ship me a little slice of that chocolate cake?
Anonymous said…
Wow you sure know how to have a party! No matter where you go you just invite fun, love, and good friends. I look forward to the day when I meet you in person, either here or when we get Home.

Hope you're having a Wonderful, God-filled Birthday!
Anonymous said…
Only 10 more to go. Here let me give you a little push to help you get past the finish line.

... Oh wait, Jesus will bring you past the finish line, what am I talking about.
Anonymous said…
I'll get the coffee started for you. I brought some extra carafes since you have so many coffee drinkers at your party. You go have fun now. I've got this part covered.
Anonymous said…
Did you know that you can have your cake and eat it too? Oh yes but only you can.
Heaven said…
Chatty Kelly said you could be Jesus, and she could be tax collector. I will be the persistent widow who never gave up!

Happy Birthday! I hope that it was a great day for you!

Happy Birthday Sue....

ATTENTION EVERYONE....Mass Multiple comments end tonight!!

And yes, of course I was the anonymous.....(but just the one...not the multiple ones)

Can you imagine growing up with an April Fools Day birthday??? Well, after today, perhaps you can.

Anyway, we are blessed to have you in our life.

So again, Happy Birthday and Good Night!
Edie said…
Goodnight! Hope you had a great birthday!

Much love to you!

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that
