1-11-11 birthday roll call

Oooo - a binary birthday!  I also have someone new to add to my list of fabulous people I personally know with this birth date (see last year's post here):
  1. Moriah McSharry McGrath
  2. Amy Harms
  3. Erin Relph
  4. Salma Dahir
  5. Baby Leda
  6. myself
7. This year a dude made the list - Tony Cirrone who work at the SD Waldorf school ('This song is about a super hero named Tony. It's called Tony's Theme... To-ny!  To-ny!  To-ny!').  

Important historical figures were born on 1-11, but that can be dry so here are some 'celebrities' instead: 
Amanda Peet 
Mary J. Blige 
Naomi Judd

One more I can't resist: Albert Hofmann. January 11, 1906. Swiss scientist in the field of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Trippy.  Makes me want to go on a bicycle ride.

And there you have it!

Today - some birthday crafting, dinner out (sorry, Tena!) and perhaps a Black Forest cake.  There's an amazing Dutch bakery two blocks from our new home - Hans and Harry's (link here).  At 7am on Christmas Eve I waited in line for over an hour to get their fresh fruit strudel.  It was awesome good.


xoxo,
Christy
