Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Tomorrow, September 19, is Talk Like a Pirate Day.

No, really, it's a thing.

Tomorrow is also Alison Sweeney's birthday. Jimmy Fallon's too, as well as Soledad O'Brien, Marc Jacobs, and Trisha Yearwood.

The number one song on the Billboard charts this week in 1979 was My Sharona.

Tomorrow, September 19 is my 30th birthday. I love my birthday. Last night, I told my husband that it was almost the day of 24 hours of being nice to your wife. He told me not to push it, it's only Thursday.

Tomorrow, we're having a party, and while it makes me kind of nervous having a party all about me, I'm so excited for the excuse to have my favorite people in one place. Also? There will be cupcakes.

If I could have one selfish birthday wish, it would be for my skin to realize that we're not sixteen anymore. The rest of my body has gotten the message loud and clear, so I'm not sure what's getting lost in the translation. Doesn't seem fair to wake up with a wrinkle and a pimple on your birthday.
