09/09/09 – A Birthday Request
First, check out this very cool article that Carissa sent me on the significance of 09/09/09 and the number 9 in general. Nine has always, always been my favourite/lucky number. I’m hoping today will be a good day for me!
Onto my birthday request for you, my dear readers. This fabulous idea is borrowed from Wishcake, who did it on her 25th birthday last month.
Today is my first birthday delurk post! I know there are many of you out there that do not always leave a comment, or rarely leave a comment (Google Analytics and my site counter told me so). Well, today’s your chance! I want you to tell me something about yourself. What’s your name? What is your favourite item of clothing? Do you eat chocolate? Do you like cats? Do you prefer red or white wine? What about chocolate or white milk?
All of my regular readers/commenters; you can feel free to answer the above questions, too!
Now, go, leave a comment.
It is my birthday, after all!
Amber, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Cute baby pic right there! I wish you the best in everything – school, job, Eric, relationships with family and friends, health, everything.
I love dogs and chocolates – the darker, the better!
Happy Birthday! I think you probably know all the answers to my questions, so here’s a cute tidbit instead:
Gary, my huge cat of a kitten? Has taken to sleeping under the covers in bed with me. It’s a bit ridiculous but he’s always trying to snuggle and burrow under the duvet and curl up at my stomach. Hilarious! He’s such a spoilt cat, I let him get away with so much, but he’s just so darn cute!
Happy Birthday! You were such an adorable, happy baby! I hope you have that kind of joy today as you celebrate your 21st!
I’m glad you got the article! I thought you’d like it
On to your questions. You know my name
I love my Anthropologie dresses, I definitely eat chocolate, I love love love kitties (and puppies now too since I got my Hazel), I prefer white wine and regular 1 % milk 
Most of those you probably already know though!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
Happy birthday!!!
I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!!!!!
erin…..and my favorite piece of clothing right now is this grey satin racer back shirt, which i incidentally have on today! i love chocolate….i love cats! i actually can’t choose between red or white wine. White’s perfect for all those girls’ nights, and red is just perfect for sipping. chocolate milk!!!!!!!!!!!! i love chocolate milk! it satisfies my thirst!
hi, I’m Kim! I rarely comment because I do most of my blog reading from my Blackberry, where commenting is a major pain.
Forgive me if I skip a question. If I scroll up, blackberry won’t let me come back to the end of this box! As far as clothing goes, I LOVE my black pants from Express, tank tops in all forms, and flip flops.I also love cute breezy comfy dresses. I like cats (but didn’t until I worked at an animal shelter.. I no longer do it for financial reasons, but rescue work is my passion) but I’m really a dog person. I love chocolate, but only milk and sometimes dark. I definitely prefer white wine, although I still haven’t really acquired the taste for wine (or beer). And chocolate milk is tasty, but I don’t drink it often. My white milk is always skim.oh and chocolate soy milk is yummy!
happy birthday!
Happy birthday!! Hope you have a wonderful day!

My name is Nicole, but I think you knew that. ;o)

My favorite piece of clothing is probably my pair of J.Crew hipster jeans … though I am now in maternity clothes (grrr) so I won’t be able to wear them until next year.
I eat chocolate … usually milk chocolate, unless it is dark with peppermint flavor (e.g., York Peppermint Patties).
I like cats alright, but I am more of a fish person. I wanted to be an ichthyologist when I grew up … too bad I can’t even snorkel.
I don’t like wine at all … red or white, it tastes like vinegar to me.
I love 1/2% white milk and chocolate milk. Milk is one of my favorite beverages and occasionally (usually when I’m pregnant) I crave it so much that I drink it right out of the jug … like a neanderthal. It’s awesome.
I hope you have a fantastic birthday!
Happy birthday! I LOVE chocolate. Not a big fan of wine, though.
Happy Birthday Girl! I absolutely loved my 25th birthday, what a blast! Make sure you live it up! You deserve it!
Happy Birthday Amber – I hope you have an amazing day
Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a fantastic birthday! Today is your first day back at school, right? Yea for it being your last year!
You already know so much about me, but here’s a random fact. One of my favorite treats is to slice up some pickles & eat them on top of tortilla chips (corn ones, not flour). It sounds odd, but don’t knock it until you try it!!!
Happy birthday!!! Hope you have a great day!
My favourite item of clothing is a really ratty pair of jeans my husband won’t let me wear in public anymore. Chocolate is one of my staple foods! I like cats, I don’t drink wine, and I prefer white milk, since oddly enough chocolate in liquid form makes me ill.
Delurking to wish you a Happy Birthday!
Hmmm something about myself, let’s see. My name is Jessie and I like to eat shrimp tails. That’s about the weirdest thing I can think of.
Oh, and on the non-weird side, I love to bake cupcakes. Love it.
Your blog is super-cute! Have a great day!
Happy Birthday Lovely, I hope you have a great day filled with birthday wishes, laughter, wine and some cake too. Do they still take everyone from the program out for a drink on the first day in the J-school? Hope so as that would make for a great start to a birthday.
As for me, you know my name and I have one cat named Tinkerbell. Fav clothing item is my grey hoodie and love all wine, but prefer white. Chocolate is great on almost everything, especially milk.
Happy Birthday Amber! I hope you have a very luck day
I love, love, love chocolate!! I love dogs way more than cats. Kyle has a 75 lb golden retriever named Taylor and she is the cuddliest dog/teddy bear ever! As for the wine, I love to drink red wine and I drink lots of white milk but if it was a healthier choice I would probably drink chocolate milk all the time!!
Happy Birthday
I love chocolate and both kinds of milk though it’s rare I grab a glass of milk and guzzle it. I think cats are adorable but I’m allergic (well, allergice if I ingest their hair).
I hope you have a lovely, happy birthday!
Happy Happy Birthday to Yoooouuuuuu!
I prefer chocolate milk to white, love my cat, don’t drink wine and sadly, if I’m really, really honest, my favorite article of clothing is a giant and ancient University of Michigan sweatwhirt. It feels like home! (and my home isn’t MI, ha!)
Hope you have a mah-velous day!
Happy Birthday! I’m de-lurking to tell you that my lucky number is 8 and I have always loved cats – feared dogs, but now all I want is a puppy. Have a great day!
Happy birthday Amber! {{{{XOXOXOXOXO}}}}
Happy Birthday Amber!!!!
I am super proud of you, and think I raised (yes I get to take all the credit that is what being a mom is all about) a wonderful wonderful child!!
Love You so much!!!
Sometimes I wish you were that small again, but most of the time I’m thankful you are so grown up because we get to share a different relationship now. I love being your mom, and your friend.
You are one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
I miss you, and I love you!!!

In answer to your questions: My name’s written above

Once again, have a great day!
My name is Jay, and the only way I’m getting near a cat is if it’s made out of chocolate.
Happy birthday!

Hell ya i eat chocolate, i could eat it 24/7 if i could!!! I’m not much of a cat person, i don’t think i would ever own one, except if we lived on a farm….not much of a pets in side the house person. I like white wine….but hardly ever drink it….i have times when i love it and times when i could do with out. 1% white milk…..you use it in tons of things…even turn it into chocolate milk LOL
Happy Birthday!
I’m a lurker from the States. Found you through a running blog, but I can’t remember which one.
Love chocolate, RED wine, and all animals….. Loved the LDR posts, too!
Happy Birthday!
I live in sweaters and will have a blanket on my lap even in the middle of summer. I adore chocolate, especially when it’s smothering almonds on ju-jubes. I love cats but I’m slightly allregic, however, it won’t stop me from adopting one. I haven’t acquired the taste for wine and I’m sure I never will. Chocolate milk is delicious but white milk is by far better for putting on cereal 
I’m Kara, and we were fabulous co-news editors last year
Lauren here. My fav item of clothing (oh geez-toughie!) Gap hip slung pants or my first pair of seven jeans. Dark choc with raspberries is my fav and a must try… http://www.chocolove.com/raspberries.htm. I like cats, but prefer dogs. Choc milk for recovery after a long hard ride/run!
PS- Happy birthday and enjoy a bottle of whatever wine you prefer! I like red most of the time bc whites are harder for me to find one I actually enjoy.
I always comment but I just wanna say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Also, I’m Kelly- I like chocolate and cats (although I’m not much of an animal person to be honest). I don’t like milk and my favorite item of clothing would be one of my dresses, I love dresses. I like white wine the best, specifically pino grigio. Fun questions! Have a great birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Name: See above; thinks cats are evil, love dogs thought; likes wines in general with no particular preference; love love love dark chocolate; not a big milk fan, but trying to adjust to choc milk for recovery
Happy birthday!
to answer your questions:
I’m Jill, my favorite item of clothing is my American Eagle Artist Jeans, I absolutely love chocolate (only I can’t eat too much or I get sick), I don’t like cats but I love kittens because they’re so cute, I have no preferences of wine (although the darker it is the less I like it) and I love chocolate milk even though I don’t drink it often.
I hope you have a great birthday!
Happy birthday!

Niki, comfy jeans, often, no, neither, white milk.
Happy Birthday!!!
I’m Shannon
My favorite item of clothing… Jeans or my tempo running shorts. I love chocolate. I’m pretty sure it’s a major food group! I don’t care for wine. Yuck. IF I drink milk, it has to have chocolate in it and it has to be either 2% or skim. Plus, I wont drink very much of it. I like it okay, but it hates me. 
ha!
My name is Jess and I’m a lurker… I’ll wait for the applause and “Hi Jess” from the group.
I like tank tops, dark chocolate, any animals, any wine, and all forms of milk (except whole!). I also adore your blog and will comment once in awhile now
HAPPPYYYY BIRTHDAY SUNSHINE!!! Super glad im here to spend it with you, LOVEDD Your new purchases today & im looking forward to tonight!!

You probably know these answers, but here you go,

HAPPY BIRTHDAYYYYY!!!!
Hi Amber
I love reading you’re blog. I’m a student at the University of Alberta. I’m in my first year of an after degree- thats going to be 7 years of school for me!
Happy Birthday and good luck with the school year!
Happy Birthday!
I figured I might as well answer a few questions for fun, right? I hate all milk, so no on white and chocolate milk. I do love actually chocolate though!
Happy Birthday! I hope it’s been a lovely one.
Amber! Your honorary best friend here! Random things about me – This is my first blog comment ever. My favorite article of clothing is my red dress that i’ve never worn in public. I love cats, I LOVE chocolate, I don’t like wine – my drink of choice is pink champagne. Chocolate milk is of course superior to white. AND you once tried to teach me how to make glue with milk, though I don’t know how it was supposed to work. We were about 4-5.
Cheers!
Love Tiff
Happy birthday girlfriend!
Hope you’re havin’ a good time!
Happy birthday!!
My blog name is Chère.
YES!
My favorite item of clothing would have to be yoga pants, yes indeed.
Do I eat chocolate? That’s just a silly question
I <3 kittens.
I prefer white or rosé wine.
I drink skim (fat-free), white milk.
Happy birthday Amber! Awww, first of all — that is the cutest baby picture!
I hope you have had an amazing day! Live it up, girlie!
I will answer your questions too —
fav item of clothing: grey skinny jeans. Or maybe a pair of pointy flats. Hmmm. Or my tan cardigan from the Gap. Such a tough question!
Yes to chocolate!
I LOVE cats! Haha, crazy cat lady! I have two now and would totally get a third one, but I think it would make my two cats way too sad/mad. I adore kittens though!
I prefer white wine. But I’m not really a fan of white. Champagne or a strawberry daiquiri please!
White milk w/ chocolate/pie/peanut butter toast, etc.–but that’s it. Not by itself! Just a sip of chocolate milk and then I’m bored of it.
Oh…Happy belated Birthday Missamber
About clothing, Oh…it’s really really hard for me to answer that! (Believe me I have difficulties even when it’s time to get clothed) But I think I like my white satin dress, and all my dark blue or dark gray jeans…
I absolutely LOVE Chocolate…#1 fan
I love cats, and I have one…He’s really sweet…and the name is Edward!
Also white milk is a total fav!
what an adorable picture!
hope your birthday was absolutely fantastic, honeypie.
also? love chocolate & i prefer dogs & white wine =)
HaPpY BiRtHdAy! love the pic
want you to tell me something about yourself. What’s your name? Lucia Anna Maria. My favourite item of clothing “FLIP FLOPS”
Do you eat chocolate? LOVE LOVE CHOCOLATE!
Do you like cats? Hmmm, yes and no.
Do you prefer red or white wine? Red
What about chocolate or white milk? I prefer white milk with a smidgen of chocolate…I find chocolate too heavy. Hey, I see I need a password for your next post!!!
P.S. I twittered you a happy birthday! Happy Birthday again!
Hi! And, hope you had a great birthday, Amber!
