Happy Birthday, dear Yarn Harlot! Happy Birthday to YOUUUUUUUUU!!
And Ken, that was a very sweet entry (and funny, too). I love the 999 origami cranes story. Both you and Steph are blessed to have found such good friends in each other.
Posted by Chris at June 14, 2004 10:32 AMHAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH!!!!
Ken, that was lovely! I wish we knew each other and I could say "do me next!"
Steph,
I hope your feet are up, your cocktail glass is full and your cares are few! Enjoy your day :)
Happy Birthday Stephanie!!
Great job on the blog, Ken -
Have a good 'un, you two -
Posted by Childe at June 14, 2004 12:09 PMStephanie, I hope that you are having a great birthday celebration! Ken, that is such a sweet tribute to your best friend. Both of you are blessed to have each other.
Posted by Dani at June 14, 2004 12:13 PMStephanie, have a wonderful birthday!! And Ken, what a very nice entry. Great job!
Posted by RebeccaL at June 14, 2004 12:40 PMKen, that's so nice - and your sock collection is quite amazing; you and Stephanie are both very lucky. Happy Stephanie's birthday, Ken, and Happy Birthday, Stephanie!
Posted by Donna at June 14, 2004 12:42 PMClever Harlot. GENerous Harlot, to give us a gift on your birthday. We knew Ken was eye-candy, but now it turns out that extends to his posts, both pictures and text. Yum. Thank you both.
Posted by rams at June 14, 2004 12:48 PMStephanie! You and my son Jackson are birthday buddies!!! Hope you have a wonderful day filled with everything you love. Jax had a jumping castle, maybe you can get one of those!
Ken your blog entry was amazing. It made me want to learn origami so I could make someone 999 cranes but then I realized the most I would need is about 500ish! You are truly blessed to find a friend of 999!
Posted by Melinda at June 14, 2004 1:03 PMHAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE! 'Hope your day is everything it should be and more.
You enrich my day everyday with your blog.
Nice job Ken. Your blog tribute is amusing, warm and genuine. Steph is lucky to have you.

Posted by Susan Gottschalk at June 14, 2004 1:27 PMOh, no fair! I want a friend like Stephanie ... *and* I want a friend like Ken!
This entry is a fabulous tribute to a fabulous friendship. Lucky both of you!
Posted by MaryB at June 14, 2004 1:29 PMSit back relax and enjoy your day. Friendship is the best thing in the world and you have a great freind in Ken (and visa versa it sounds). Thanks for sharing him and your knitting humor with us daily. You're the best!

Posted by Betsy at June 14, 2004 1:52 PMHappy Birthday Stephanie. Your blog is a staple in my mornings and your humor helps get me through the work day. Good job, Ken, you didn't let her down- your blog is every bit as good.
Posted by Kate at June 14, 2004 2:05 PMHappy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy BIRTH-daaaay dear Haaaaaarlooooot. . .
happy birthday to you!
I hope you get your favorite kind of cake.
Posted by Kathryn at June 14, 2004 2:06 PMHappy Birthday Stephanie!
Have an amazing day.
Great job Ken, you're a wonderful friend. Of course my birthday is next Sunday,now I know what I want from my best friend ;) I'll make sure she knows who to blame...
Posted by Nancy at June 14, 2004 2:51 PMWow. Me, I'd probably have to be lying there in the casket to have someone speak that lovingly of me, foibles and warmth and knitting and all, within my earshot. Thank you to both of you for including all of us random strangers within your friendship.
And Stephanie--may the rest of your day be as wonderful as Ken's words. And I hope the cake is dark chocolate.
Posted by AlisonH at June 14, 2004 2:56 PMHappy Birthday, Stephanie! Beautiful post, Ken. What a wonderful thing true friendship is. Being able to trust someone absolutely makes you both vulnerable to extreme pain, and free in a way that is indescribable. There is little in life that is worth more than relationships like that, if there is anything at all. I still remember being touched by your birthday post to Ken on HIS birthday.
My POINT was that it takes a lot of trust to just hand your blog over to ANYBODY, even good friends!
Posted by LauraA at June 14, 2004 3:02 PMHappy Bday, bambina!
Posted by roggey at June 14, 2004 3:22 PMI wanted to join in with the rest of the comments to wish you a great, happy birthday Stephanie (woo hoo! another reason to eat cake!) Ken wrote such lovely things about you; i actually kinda puddled up a little. You both are so very lucky to have each other as best friends! Enjoy your day!
Posted by mary e at June 14, 2004 3:23 PMAll birthday best, Stephanie! Ken is one lucky fella ~ but so are we who get at least a tangential sense of how fine, fab & funny you are via the blog.
Posted by maggi at June 14, 2004 3:47 PM*H*A*P*P*Y* *B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y* !
May all your dreams come true.Particularly your wooly ones !
Posted by Emma at June 14, 2004 3:55 PMMy birthday wishes for you is joy, happiness and lots of cake.
What a great friend you have in Ken based on what he said in his lovely post and it evident Ken has a great friend in you.
Happy birthday!
What a great birthday tribute!
The sock lineup is impressive, but that sweater is a work of genius (are we surprised?).
Happy Birthday Stephanie!
Happiest of birthdays, dear harlot. Many happy returns and felicitations. Hope Joe, the kids and Ken have something lovely planned for you and I can't wait to read all about it tomorrow morning over my cup of tea (hard liquor optional).
Ken, what a loving tribute. I hope my friends speak so well of me.

Posted by Leslie at June 14, 2004 6:48 PMMe too! I'll say it. Happy Birthday. I don't have anything better than that, even though I wish that I did. Instead, shall I play for you on my drum?
Posted by julia fc at June 14, 2004 6:52 PMHappy Birthday to you.
Posted by Tim at June 14, 2004 7:06 PMHappy Birthday to my fellow Gemini. I knew there was a reason that I found you so witty, cool, and funny.
Ken, great job. I think you and Stephanie are mutually lucky to have each other as friends.
Posted by Gina at June 14, 2004 9:41 PMNot to make anyone jealous and all, but I'm lucky enough to have been sucked into the Harlot's web... sorry, I mean she is my friend (and Ken, too - I'm blessed).
Stephanie is truly an awesome person - everything in today's entry - and more - is true.
Happy birthday, love - I am beyond thankful for your friendship.
(oh, and Ken? Fantastic job - I'm going to get a blog so you can do my borthday entry ;))
(With apologies to Boynton, or whoever did this one first)
