This just in: Former Catholic Girl of the Year celebrates a milestone birthday today. She’s asked that we don’t divulge her age ~ it is said she’s beyond child-bearing but has the body of a teenager (according to Bob).
When asked how she would celebrate she replied “I don’t want a big deal – just family.” We aren’t sure if that implies her family has become a small deal for her, but they are thrilled to have the opportunity to recognize the anniversary of this very special person’s birth.
On the menu for this very special celebration includes fennel-pollen rabbit sausage and squid ink pasta. I’m not even kidding you.
The guest of honor will accept genuflections at the celebratory event and will no doubt share the secret to her longevity. It is suspected she’ll mention eating foods like squid ink pasta along with showing subversive disrespect to her elders.
Congratulations, Mrs. Lady!

Well, from this former Catholic school girl, best wishes!
I’ll pass on your good wishes!
Congratulations! That menu is something else, Sara. **grin** I am not Catholic, but once I was in a Catholic church and the priest sprinkled water and it hit my third eye. Does that count for anything? lol!
I’m not sure what that means, Kathy, but you can at least consider your “third eye” blessed. I have to also add that the meal we had was fabulous, probably because I had tender and delicious mussels and linguini instead of squid ink pasta. It was a dinner to remember.
