Love for you ALL!!!

Eeee! Between LJ and Facebook, I swear I've had more birthday wishes by 8:30 in the morning than I ever had in the entire day before. *tears up, loves you all, loves the internet that makes it possible*

Okay, so I'm rushing off to work and have my birfday dinner tonight, and have been running around like a freakin' chicken with my head cut off with trip preparation and get-togethers and such. So this is just a drive-by post to say thanks so much for those of you who wrote lovely, thinky responses to the first post in my gutter!filter and/or are sending me birthday wishes! Comments and email responses are coming, if I'm lucky tonight or failing that I've set aside tomorrow evening.

*many enthusiastic hugs to you all*
