It's my birthday, and I'll bowl if I want to

Just wanted to thank my wonderful friends for making my birthday bowling bash so much fun! It was so nice sharing my day with you, and I love all my gifts. I feel like my game is really going to pick up now that I have my lucky bowling shirt. Goodbye 78, hello 100.

Today is a very special day. My friend Elizabeth had her baby! Unfortunately, getting through to her at the hospital is what I imagine it's like trying to call a celebrity at a hotel. Once you finally guess the right code name, the line is always busy. Not that I have any experience stalking celebs, of course.

Now that the baby is here and well, I have so many questions shuffling around impatiently inside me. I'm wanting to get the lowdown on this labor business. Is it the worst pain you'll ever know? Do you really scream hateful things to your husband while twisting his arm off? Did you poo on the delivery table? Does the baby have a conehead, yes or no? All very important things to know. Seriously, I can't even imagine what it's like the first amazing moments you meet your baby. How cool is that?

The good news is that now everyone has stopped asking me if there is any news. I can return to strolling through the hallways at work and riding the elevator like a normal person, staring uncomfortably at the floor numbers without having to talk with anyone. Relief.

What can I say? The miracle of life is a hard act to follow...I'm going home to watch "The O.C."
