what the??!?!!!

clearly!!!!
when i woke up this morning and turned on the ol trusty lap top ( i used to think it was lab top by the way. talk about a design tard.) and saw my 2nd grade picture and then SEVERAL pictures of myself i thought i was dead. it didn't take long to figure out what was really going on...what a guy, huh ladies????
i can't thank you enough for what that meant to me. as pathetic as it sounds you guys are my friends. in a way, ya know? i feel protective of you and i would probably beat a face in for you if i needed to. when any of you are down or facing pain or tragedy i feel it too. and i say prayers for you and all that too sometimes, when needed. i rully do. so to see your efforts to make my birthday special is enough to make me cry a little. you all make me feel special enough anyway when you comment and tell me i am funny, or i made you laugh or what have you...that is always a gift. and THIS...this is..just...icing on the cake!! so thank you. thank you very much. i fully intend to thank each of you individually but i wanted to get this out there...so in the mean time lets enjoy some cake:

in a place like this:




and lest you think i forget...mike...for you i give you this:
for enduring my endless obsession with robwerd cullenson and for loving me in spite of it and for putting this birthday surprise together. you are my hero. so go and motorboat those boobies...
so far 40 is kicking ass.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIOTCH!

Keep looking around the interwebs dear Jenny. Blogger is being a douche and isn't updating everyone's schnitz.

happy birthday!! i ran across your blog a few months back but then couldn'find find it again. i remember thinking, "this sh*t is hilarious", too (to answer your silent question, i don't know why I didn't bookmark it then). i found you today via "get it girl style"--so sweet of your boo to do this for you. hope you have a fabulous day, and i love the "lab top".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! if I were on your good times blogroll I would have posted a most adorable, humorous,and brings a tear to your eye post about how wonderful your husband is and how fabulous you are...but I'm not (when will I ever make it in with the cool kids?) so I guess this will have to do :) You are a refreshing read and (reading between the lines) you have a golden heart--have an amazing year!!

I get great enjoyment for reading your blog everyday. So two things:
1. You are HOT for 40
2. I saw the hubs pic on getitgirlstyle...and I don't know why you'd ever be obsessing over Rpatz when you've got THAT at home.

Penelope Bianchi said...

Happy 40th! I found you via French Essence this a.m., and you are definitely the needed kick in the pants to get the day moving!

You make me sorry I gave up blogging -- I was too worried about what people would think if I just expressed myself honestly. I am something of a failed Southern Belle, but I still have a lot of guilt about it. I think I might have been born about 30 years too soon!

So thank you for the breath of fresh air, and I will visit often.

Your husband rocks and so does your blog. I found you thanks to the many birthday wishes sent to you via blogland. Happy Birthday and I cannot wait to go back through your archives later this week - what I've read so far has me sitting alone and laughing out loud! Keep up the fabulous work!
