Wow, I'm WAY behind on my reading! I loved this blog, and sure hope you had a wonderful birthday . I mean, things can only get better after your muffler falls off on the side of the road, right? I'm pretty sure I send you a present, but I'm going to do it now, just in case . . .
I just love a gal who knows her own mind~ *hugs* YOU ROCK, sunshine! Thanks for sharing your life experience with such wit 'n wisdom~ love ya, TB~ *hugs* BB~
It's the middle of the night on my side of the Bridge on the New York side, and I find I cannot sleep [serves me right for having that double coffee so late in the afternoon -- I knew somehow, some way, I was going to pay for it, and I am]. And, I'm hungry, too. So I cave, get up, make a sandwich that is way over my calorie allotment [and I'm fine with that -- doesn't happen often], and turn to the favorite blog posts. After reading yours (again a winner -- your frankness becoming even more frank than usual, really amazes me. You have such tremendous courage!), I see that I missed a few, and turn to your birthday story. Now this one really gives me pause. I'm not a newcomer to your blogs by any stretch, and I have noted how introspective you can be, and how much work you apparently have done to get to be where you are today, in spite of so much in your past [kudos, by the way], but never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined so much humility in one of your blogs. Didn't see that one coming at all. Goes to show ya, one really never knows another one in SparkWorld, because it is a two-dimensional medium after all. On behalf of many, I am sure, I'll say you're welcome and thank you at the same time. You do shine a light where so many of us dare not go. And you lead the way as few can, in how to execute just that.
Before I head back to bed for some good hours, let me wish you a very happy belated birthday, and all the best,
You know, I read your blogs one per day when I'm behind so I have a pick-me-up when I'm starting to feel blah...You really make my day. Happy belated birthday!
A very interesting birthday! Sorry I missed it, not sure how I missed this blog but consider it read now... love your writing... it always makes me cry, laugh, smile. Wishing you a Happy Belated Birthday!
I feel so bad that I missed your Birthday! Happy Belated Birthday!!!!! I love your blogs. I don't know how how I missed this one:( Your boss sounds !!! Mine is a ------ --- . Glad to hear that Santa saved the day. As for crocs,I heart mine. Seriously. I have at least 7 pairs. I bought a pair at Cabela's that you would never guess are "plastic". Oh,and I LIKED the name Vajayjay .
Happy belated birthday! I LOVE your stories! You have such a funny/witty/sarcastic sense of humor. BTW,I am so jealous that you have such a great boss. oh yea, you can call your honeypot anything you want to....it's yours after all. ;)
Wow what a wonderful life you lead! I find being almost retired very quiet by comparison. I would love to join you with your cats on a boycott. I do love cats, and more cats. I have to admit I do not care for crocs. My daughter keeps trying to get me into them, but they are just not my thing. But I can see the use of them for walking in that heat. England rarely gets hot enough to worry about that type of heat, a good brisk walk in fur lined boots just about gets as good as its going to. Any way us English would moan non-stop if we had weather with heat. Take care of those cats!
Girl, I love your blogs. I wish I could get you to write them every day - they are SO funny and so enjoyable...even when I haven't been on in a decade (ok a little less) I can come find your blog and get totally re-energized and laugh my butt off. You are hilarious... Love that about you! Thank you
can't believe i am coming to the party so late! i am glad that you got such a sweet birthday gift from Santa, even it you did have to pay for it yourself!
Happy Belated Birthday!! Car troubles always make me a nervous wreck. Glad it was minor expense. You are a lucky girl!! I hope you had a wonderful birthday. Also I love your page background, the best of both worlds, I can look but no weight gain!!Yummy!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Girl!!!! As usual - Loved the article! So glad it was a minor repair and I vote for Vajayjay - it's just so much more - Fun! :) Have a great one! xoxo
I could read one of your blogs every single day! My hubby created and left an 'emergency bag' in my 2010 Rav4. I'm pretty sure that it's ready for any kind of disaster- including the one you had.
I bet if we were in your car- with my emergency bag, we would have had our choice of wire, duct tape and some item that would double as sustenance and adhesive. We would have been on the road in no time!
I hope your birthday was amazing, too, Teeny, and I almost CRAPPED myself when I read about the tube in the boss' office...O....MY....GOD. WHO DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT???? Gee, I wonder what kind of performance review THAT person got.......uuuuugggghhh. But geez, finding a good mechanic who won't take you to the cleaners, now THAT is a minor miracle. Sounds to me like you and your muffler were in the right place at the right time and who can afford to spit in the eye of fate?? You really ARE one lucky gal! LOL Keep on writing, your blogs are an absolute treasure....and um, so are you!
happy belated birthday! Love that you call into meetings next door, lol. I cannot believe someone left vagasil cream on your bosses desk! How awful is that! Why would you even have that out?!?!?!!? lmao
Love your blogs, Teeny! You just make FUN out of the ORDINARY-NESS! I hope you had an awesome, awesome birthday! Hey, $14 for a muffler is awesome in my book!
Well happy belated Birthday..... and this blog was a real hoot! of course not your muffler falling off..... but hey only 14.00 to repair ...sweet! And the Crocs I have 2 pair Red and PURPLE ones! And they are very comfy!
Hi! Thanks for sharing another great blog and bringing a smile to my face. Your blog is my absolute favorite and the only one I look for every month here on SP. Keep up the great work! Much love....
I you! , belated of course. Love your blogs. The pictures your words paint are incredible! No caffeine required (but my kettle is still boiling for tea - couldn't stop reading!)
Hope it was happy and your muffler is fixed permanently. Wish I could hear your voice! CJ
aha! I knew it: it was your b-day! Your blogs always make me laugh: you have such a powerful way with imagery! I love it... I also had a time in my life when I decided I was into what I called: 'no dish cooking'... it involved a lot of tin foil. :) Keep on being awesome!
Happy Belated Birthday!!! I love your blogs. They make me smile the whole day. Of course, I do have a really boring life, so that could be part of it. Anyway, love those Crocs too!! Best thing ever invented for tired feet and they don't smell. Life is good!
your blog ! You certainly have a gift there with your writing. Always puts a on my face. It's wonderful that they were so honest about the problem being only a screw.
