HOW MANY CANDLES WERE ON MY BIRTHDAY CAKE?

I have aged since I last blogged and did so while back east, where I celebrated my (insert any number of your choice here) Birthday. All with my personal fan club, better known as my entire family, including nephews, brother-in-law and even soon to be brother-in-law, supportively by my side.

I will enthusiastically admit that both my sisters, the married and recently engaged, have found themselves some definite keepers, whom I am more than happy to call family! Men like the ones they have found and our father, quite honestly, only come around once in a blue moon, but they give me hope that there are a few out there like themselves. Even just partially as extraordinary as each is would be fine by me, since expecting anything more would be asking for far more than most would consider your typical “good guy.”

Oh, but I digress…

So, just like last year, I did not have a party or group dinner in LA to celebrate my Birthday, which I have done in past years. I just didn’t feel as though I needed a big day where people had to come out and celebrate little me, as I am someone who never really feels I “need” it. However, seeing that next year’s Birthday is considered a “big one,” I suppose I might just have to have a par-tay, as I like to call them, or I might not hear the end of it from my friends.

Either way, I currently have an entire year to ponder the idea, and I’ll bet you can now correctly guess the answer to this week’s blog title and how many candles were on my birthday cake this year. If not, just take a guess or jump on over to good old IMDb (Internet Movie Database) and search Liesl Ehardt to find out…if you dare!

I will be back in LA for next week’s blog post and plan to bring you news from the acting front, if there is any to report, of course. Also I can update you on the continued SAG contract discussions, which appear to be going relatively well as of August 15th, according to what SAG has released to its current members.

‘Till next time, I had best get back to making the most of each day of this year before yet another Birthday is upon me! That said, I also would like to thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes via e-mails, comments, text messages, voicemails, e-cards, cards in the mail and even donations to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for kids in my name! Each means so much to me, and I truly appreciate you simply remembering and then taking the time to say “Happy Birthday” in any way that you did. Each made me smile, and to you I say, “Thank You!”
