I am thirty-nine years old today.
For some reason, women are supposed to be shy about their age. This has never made sense to me. I mean, it used to make social sense to mask one’s age to lengthen the amount of time one was eligible for marriage. But, hello, we are not Victorian anymore.
I am thirty-nine years old and proud of every year. Besides, Grandma is 103, so I’m just a child.
Happy Day!!
And I’m sure, another 70 years in the tank at least. 🙂
I’m counting on it. I’ve got a lot of stories to write and not enough time to do it.
Happy birthday!
Many thanks!
It’s my bday too!
No wonder we’re both so dang cool! 😉
This explains so many things!
Happy birthday, Mary:)
Happy Birthday, Mary!
39. Right on. May you have many more puppet-string pulling, story writing, happily married, art directing, dirty martini drinking years!
Cheers!
🙂
Woot! Now, that’s a good birthday wish, if I’ve ever heard one.
The happiest of brithdays to you, Mary!
Breithlá shona duit.
Tá onóir ag an aois agus uaisle ag an óige. (Age has honour and youth has nobility.)

Thank you! It would be nice to move into the honor stage of life.
Yeah!!!! Happy birthday! Here’s to another wonderfully productive year! OK, enough celebrating. Now get back to work making cool stuff.
Oh, I just wrote on your Facebook wall after seeing your status, but happy birthday for here, too! You have a good way of looking at age. It’s all about what you’ve done with your years, not how many of them you’ve had. Besides, as I said on Facebook, I had always guess purely on how young you look that you were nearer thirty. Obviously eating the right vegetables!
Happy Birthday!
At the risk of sounding excessively like Fred Rogers, I nonetheless feel comfortable saying that you are one of my favorite 39-year-olds. Enjoy the day and the year!
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!!
Happy birthday! I always say that if I were going to lie about my age, I’d claim to be older, so as to get more respect and have everyone think that I looked fabulous. But I don’t. I’m 36. 🙂
Have a great day!
See! That’s how I feel too.
I’m the only girl I know who can’t wait to get gray hair. I actually have the hairdresser use temporary color on my hair because it won’t affect the few white hairs I’m getting.
Sto lat, sto lat, niech zyje zyje nam.
Sto lat, sto lat, niech zyje zyje nam.
Jeszcze raz, jeszcze raz, niech zyje, zyje nam.
Niech zyje nam!
Happy birthday. 🙂
You’re only as old as you think you are.
Happy Birthday! Sanna hilwa, ya gameel!
Happy Birthday, Mary!!
Many Happy Returns of the Day!

I’m not a bit shy about my age, either.
Happy Birthday! I’m 39 this year too, wooo!
I hope you have a wonderful day 🙂
Many happy returns of the day!
Congratulations on reaching your 1st annual 39th birthday.
This year in September I will celebrate my 32nd annual 39th birthday.
Thanks, Dad!
I’m looking forward to being forty next year, so I can throw a ginormous party.
Oh, how can I possibly follow the wit and wisdom of -d- ?
A simple Happy Birthday wish will have to suffice
xo-e-
Happy birthday!!!!!!!!! May you spend the day doing exactly what you want, eating your favourite foods, and getting great presents.
Thank you all! So far today is going splendidly.
What they said!
Happy birthday, Mary.
May today you turn on lily pads,
dancing on isles of green.
May today you skip on white-columned clouds,
singing songs only gods can hear.
Happy Birthday Mary!!
This age stuff is all relative. Eh? Your grandma and the way she is trekking at 103 makes me want to grow up just like her.
A vital, energetic 91 year old friend of ours says he would like to be a young man of 70 again, so I am basking in my 68 year ould youth. :0)
Happy birthday, Mary! Obviously we all think you are a very special lady and wish you the best of everything!
I’ll be checking in regularly to see what interesting new projects and fascinating ideas you have in store for us during your 39th year.
Aloha and Hau`oli la hanau!
Patty
Wow, same age as Jack Benny now!
It’s easy sledding from here on out.
(Dang, I just missed making the 39th post on this thread. . . .)
Too bad I can’t do the math to calculate -d-‘s annual 32nd 39th.
No matter, kudos and thanks to -d- and Lady -m- on this
Mary’s birthday for producing such a treasure as Mary Robinette.
Hi Mary!
Some instinct sent me to your website today for the first time in a long while, and I’m glad it did: Happy Birthday, Mary!!
The best years are ahead 🙂
Dario

Happy Birthday!
Dearest Mary,
