I’m sitting here crying like a little bitch. And it’s all Le Clown’s fault. Look at this post.
That’s right, 45 years ago today, Madame Weebles was unleashed on the world. I know, you thought I was a lot older. I get that a lot.
So here I am, reading this EPIC birthday post that Le Clown wrote—he also managed to assemble an All-Star roster of bloggers to participate. Birthday greetings would have been fantastic enough, but there are videos, fancy poems, photos, artwork…holy fuck, it’s incredible. I can’t even imagine how much time and effort it took for Eric—or for any of you—to do this, but I am stunned and moved and flabbergasted and tickled pink and purple by all of it. Good thing I hadn’t put on any makeup yet because otherwise I’d look like this:
Seriously, this is amazing. You’re amazing. I feel amazed.
Big hugs, sloppy kisses with tongue, inappropriate groping, “inadvertent” pressing up against you, and a flash of the boobs, to the following people (apologies for not linking to you, otherwise I’d be here all day): Le Clown, Sara, Fish, Darla, Boomie, Brigitte, Speaker7 (and Hugo), Rutabaga, Brother Jon, Adam, Carrie, Robin, Meizac, Honie, Timmer, Calahan, Emily, JM, Curmudgeon, Limmster, Bumble, Bill McMorrow, Ericka, Elyse, Vanessa, Margarita, Michelle, John Erickson, Guap, Leo, Joe Hoover, Misslisted, GingerSnaap, Tania, Jen Tonic, Becca, Marie, Cathy, La La, Vyvacious, Val, Red and Mrs. Red, Wendy, LouAnn, Rich, Tracy, Frank, and Nicole.
Many sleazy warm fuzzies to everyone who left birthday comments on the post as well!
Yeah, I laughed, I cried, I laughed, I went “AWWWWWW!!!!!”, I cried, I laughed, I cried. I went through a box of tissues. And they weren’t Puffs with Lotion, so now my nose is all red like Le Clown’s.
I don’t even know what to do with myself. I’m beyond verklempt. I’m zerklempt. Thank you all, so so so so so much. Even if I get viciously murdered later today, you’ve still made this the best day I could ever hope for. Really, I’m not kidding. A million thank yous.
And on a final, bittersweet note, please send your very best juju to my mom, the woman who did most of the hard work 45 years ago. Mom is starting chemo today, and we all know how much fun that is.
I love you all madly. Come on over to my place tonight for cake and a group bath!!



Madame Weebles,
I’m done with the birthday wishes. Fuck off.
But positive vibes to your mom, Elder Weebles.
Le Clown
Le Clown, merci beaucoup for the good vibes for my mom. Now suck it.
Wait…the caffeine drip hasn’t started yet, did I read that you’re bathing with a birthday cake this evening? Wow. Kinky.
Doesn’t everyone do that??
Julie, Happy Birthday. Best healing wishes to your Mom. My Dad’s back in the hospital so let’s you and I send some crossover thoughts/wishes/loving/prayers to each other now and get these dear, dear ones well. Love ya, J. xxoo
Just got your email, B, I’ll be replying soon. So sorry about your Dad, I will definitely send some good juju to him, and to you. Big hug to you!
Oh good, I was just going to jump in the shower but now I can wait until later. Oh and I’m getting waxed today so no worries there. Too much?
Thanks for all you do. Happy birthday! I hope it’s a wonderful one!!! Mwah xoxo!
Not TMI for me, at least—I got waxed on Monday, so we’re all good! Woooo! And thank you, sister. MWAH!
Happy Birthday again, Madame. Good luck to your mom. Also, I hope you don’t get viciously murdered later today.
You say the nicest things, Mr. McMorrow. Thank you.
You’re welcome. It’s how I was raised. Hahaha
You Weebled into all our hearts, Lady. And positive thoughts for your Mom!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Many thanks, my friend, and my Sicilian mother thanks you too!
I’m Sicilian too! Give that woman a Canoli!!
Will towels be provided at this group bath?
Happy Birthday Madame! Make it a good one, you deserve it.
I was just planning on drying everyone off with my flesh, but I guess towels could work too. Thanks Tim!
Happiest of birthdays (until next year), Weebs!
Nice group hug! (And stop squeezing my ass, Clown.)
Please stop flashing my boobs to everyone. I’m way to sober for that…right now.
Best wishes to your mom. The whole ‘sphere is pulling for her!
Thanks Guap! Sorry about the flash, I thought I was grabbing my own shirt, not yours. I guess I wasn’t as sober as I thought.
Happy Weebly Birthday to you, Madame Weebles. And when does the group bath start?
Hello mairedubh, and welcome! I trust you found your way to the bath okay—i’m sure I was sharing bubbles with you at some point but there were just so many people.
Happy birthday! And best wishes to your mom. Chemo sucks so much it’s sometimes hard to remember it’s a good thing. Hope it goes well for her.
Thanks Diane—you’re right about the chemo, the treatment feels more brutal than the disease, so it’s hard to remember that it’s actually *helping.*
*in car driving to your house for cake and group bath* awe!!! poor mom!!!! dang gina. Sending much much karmic love and reiki to your mom. White light sister!!!!
Thanks girl! I hope you enjoyed the bath
Are you a reiki practitioner too??
I yam.
How did your mom do??
Awwwwww. My heart is with you and your mom today. God speed to you both.
Thank you so much, Robin. And likewise, my heart is with you and your parents.
Happy birthday…. Madame Wee-ee-bles…
In my best Marilyn Monroe. Which neither sounds anything like her, or… makes sense, really… but… you know… happy birthday, anyway!
*Annnnnnd begin juju transmission…*
Your voice is a little deeper than Marilyn’s, but amazingly, you really rock that Marilyn dress, Sig! And thanks for the juju!
Hahaha… thanks madame… is there a breeze in here, or is it just me?!
Holding Mom in Love and Light! xoxoM
As always, you’re the best, Margarita.
Fuck Yeah! Happy Fucking Birthday! The King’s Speech, just for you today Madame, fuck!!!! Plus I wrote you that song, I worked fucking hard on that fucking song. xoxoxo Now how about some fucking cake?
That Queen medley was stellar, Honie. Fucking stellar. And I fucking love your King’s Speech. Did you enjoy the cake? It was pretty fucking good. I hope Mr. Honie had a great day too!
Oh, Madame, the cake..the cake!
Mr. Honie, got such a kick out of the happy birthday wishes. Although he didn’t know what to think of the person who referred to him as “man Honie”
I hope your day was thrilling beyond compare. btw, how did the group shower go? sorry I couldn’t make it. HA! Much love~~and yeah, the song only took about two minutes to come up with. so, it wasn’t as hard as I said. xoxo
What a great day. Best acceptance post ever.
Keeping good thoughts of your mom in mind today as well.
Lots of thinking and hugs for family Weebles.
You’re an extremely kind person, T. Muchas merci!
You just out-commented my comment.
You’re the best!
Madam, your contribution to the blogosphere is deeply appreciated by the Empire. I don’t do cake, but I’m definitely down for a group bath. Happy motha fuckin birthday, Weebs!
And I’m sending warm thoughts for your mother, which is no small task for a serial oppressor such as myself. I sincerely hope for the best for her!
Brother, I appreciate the Empire’s appreciation of my blog. No cake??? What the fuck?? I hope you enjoyed the bath, you seemed to be having fun with the rubber duckies. And despite your serial oppression, your wishes for my mom are duly noted.
Well, ice cream cake. I’ll do that. And rubber duckies are the shit. That is all.
Well of course ice cream cake was served. I mean, what am I, a bad hostess?? And rubber duckies ARE the shit. This is why we are soul siblings.
Oh, it was ice cream cake? Then I had some.
Happy Fucking B-day, M. Weebs.
May it be filled with reality tv star suicides, and dick pics.
Love to your mom.
You know just the right gifts for me, Mike. And thank you very much for the good juju.
Happy birthday Dame Weebs….here’s to many more happy healthy ones. Rock on, glitter and all
.
Hugs and love
Hugs and love right back atcha, Boomie!
Love to you mom Weebs you crybaby, bed-wetter! Happy fucking birthday! Since La La brought it up, I’m getting waxed today too. See you soon!
Red
Your wax job looked fantastic, Red! And how did you know I was a bed-wetter? I told everyone that was a secret. MotherFUCKER.
Happy birthday again! I’ve not been following you for long (I don’t know why!), but thankfully Le Clown let me jump on the bandwagon with the birthday post. What a guy.
Good thoughts being sent to your ma.
Vanessa, you had me at “Ear he is” with The Sun headline. You are now my favorite person. And many thanks for the good thoughts.
Happy Birthday Weebs … but no sentimental stuff aloud – after all, you’re only allowed your softie side several times a year and you don’t want to use one up yet. Best wishes to your Mom with her battle.
You’re right, Frank, I don’t want to blow the whole year’s allotment this early. And thanks so much for the kind wishes!
Happy Birthday, Madame! I would lend you my sleeve to wipe your eyes – but I think you’re on the opposite coast. Solidarity to Mom – strength and grace – my bet is she’s got that in abundance, to have raised a firecracker like you
That’s okay, it’s the thought that counts, Vickie, not the actual fabric of the sleeve (although I’m sure it would be a lovely sleeve in an exquisite fabric). And I so appreciate your kind thoughts!
Thoughts of healing and good outcomes for your mom. Hard to have that on your birthday, or any day, so hoping you both find some moments of sheer fucking goodness. A group bath sounds way too good! Just turned 50 yesterday, and thinking that would be one more way to celebrate! Happy happy!
Happy belated birthday, fellow Capricorn! Sheer fucking goodness indeed. I hope you enjoyed the bath—I put a candle in your cake of soap just for you.
I thought I smelled something other than bath farts! Thanks Madame… it was splendid. We climbers need to relax once in a while.
The happiest of happy bittersweet birthdays to you Mme. Thinking of you, and your mom, with love. May you kick ass in all you do. And may your mom kick a bunch of cancer cells’ asses with minimal side effect. Holding her in healing light.
Happy birthday. You make this world a nicer, and way more interesting, place.
What a sweet thing to say, Christy. Thank you so much. *HUG*
Yay!!! Happy Birthday!
I asked Le Clown to check what your favorite cake was and since Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting was what you wanted, that’s what you got! I was looking at my 3 little pictures and thinking that I should have wrote a message or something. Still getting a hang of this blogging thing
Anyway, I shall post the recipe with full pictures sometime soon I hope and I’ll be sure to tag you
Best wishes to your mom as well!!
You know what? I looked at the photos of the cake (I loved the little Batmans on the cake) and thought, “Oooh, that cake looks GOOD.” Would love to have the recipe! I’d say you already have the hang of the blogging thing, Vyvy.
Thank you so much!!
Haha thanks. Yay! Should be out Sunday/Tuesday if all goes well
Aww thanks! You’re welcome!!
Wow… that was a serious birthday card.
Best to your mom… it is no fun, but worth doing.
Amen, Ted. And thank you very very much.
I am abetter person than Le Clown. So I send you b-day wishes AND good karma for your mom. What a way to celebrate!
You are indeed a better person than Le Clown, Elyse. I like you. Thanks!!
Kisses??
o_o
With tongue???
O_o
I’m listening…..
-_-
Happy Birthday!!!
If I had known kisses with tongue would entice you, IPC, I would have offered them sooner… And thank you! I shall be spending some time at your blog because for whatever reason, I hadn’t seen it before. But I love the bits I’ve read so far.
WONDERFUL!!
Love your stuff : )
Oh – and – keep coming back!! I offer free parking!!
Free parking? Oh BOY!
Bestest Birthday Wishes, M.Weebles.
Sending all the good and healing juju to your Mom.
Birthday wishes, and good and healing juju all happily accepted with many thanks, Victoria!
Glad this made you happy–my best to your mom–my prayers are with her and you as you guys go through this. (I did not think you looked older–I thought this was your 40th)
Thanks, LouAnn, all prayers and thoughts are fantastic. And you thought I was turning 40? You’re adorable. I love you. Not that I really care so much about looking being 45, but you’re still adorable and I still love you.
I love you too — when it is my birthday you have to say I look 30 — even though I am way older than you.
Happy happy birthday to you, Weebles!
Sending your mom loads of positive vibes.
Thank you very much, Darla! I’m actually in the middle of writing you an email right now.
Happy birthday, Weebles! And best of luck to Mom. I know that chemo is no fun whatsoever, but clearly she’s decided that it’s preferable to the alternative, and I respect that.
Post photos of group bath.
Thanks, buddy! Chemo is no fun but as you say, it’s better than the alternative. Cancer sucks no matter what, and I know you know this only too well, Smak. I would have posted photos of the group bath, but unfortunately the smokin’ hotness of the whole affair torched my camera batteries and then blew all the fuses. I’ll need a backup generator for the next party, obviously.
Happy birthday Madam, best wishes for you mother.
xx
Thanks you very much, Leo!! Also, you never answered my question on your blog about the tic tacs.
Happy Birthday, Weebs!
Thanks Sandy!
Happy Birthday, Weebles! Your mom will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks Mike! Sorry I haven’t emailed you back yet, expect a reply soon!
Happy b-day Weebs. Hope one of your presents is that your mom makes a complete recovery.
That would be a nice gift, I don’t mind waiting a while for it. Thanks, V!
Happy Birthday my dear Madame! Bowie says “Meow!”
Thanks Herman! And give Bowie a giant hug and kiss from me.
Happy birthday rock star! And best wishes and prayers for your Mom today.
Heh, rock star, you’re funny. Thank you very much, Rachelle, best wishes and prayers are always great gifts.
I pass on a group bath, TYVM.
Pfffft. What a buzzkill. We had a great time, but I understand that group baths aren’t for everyone.
Le Clown gave each of us $5 to write something nice, so how could we not?
I hope Mama Weebs does well on day 1 and that day 1 of chemo is the first day of regaining her health.
I hope you bought yourself something pretty with that $5, calahan. And thank you!
Happy Birthday Weebles! Positive vibes to your Mom.
Hiya ivfmale! Thank you very much!!
Happy birthday Madame Weebs!
Thank you Nancy!!
Happy Birthday, Weebs! Sorry I couldn’t fully participate in the festivities…best wishes to your Mom!
That’s quite all right, I’m just glad you’re here now! Thanks rogueblogger!
Happy Birthday! Don’t feel like you need to respond to this comment. Just wanted to give you my well wishes. And for your mother, too. I hope all goes well for her.
You know I always respond, even if it takes me a few days to catch up. Thank you for both sets of well wishes, Carrie. You’re the best.
happy birthday, lady. and sending your momma good vibes too. much love, sm
Hi Momma! I have been remiss in visiting you (I’ll be rectifiying that shortly), but I’m so glad you visited me. Thank you so much! xo
don’t worry, lady weebs. momma is always here. and happy beeerfffffday. my thoughts go out to your momma too. hope she is okay. xoxox
Happy birthday, Weebs! Those messy happy cries are the best. Thinking of your mom today <3
Eany thanks, Emily—and yes, big sobby cries of happiness are pretty swell.
Happy birthday!!!! Hope your mother will not suffer too much adn get better soon – a really big part of my mental support goes to you.
Oh, you’re awesome, NBI. Many many thanks to you!! Mwah!
And a piece of my mental pie as well of course!
Pie! I love pie!
Happy Birthday, you crazy hot, young chick, you!
You called me a crazy hot young chick. You are now my Favorite Person on Earth, Mr. Hook.
Happy Birthday Mme W – and well wishes for your Mom too!
Hi Tom! Thank you very much!
Belated congratulations – I do hope you stuffed yourself in every way imaginable and loved all of it
I did indeed, Panda. I’m still in sugar overload.
In the Moonmanian of my father (who is coincidentally also enjoying a birthday today AND dealt with cancer), hartelijk gefeliciteerd met Uw verjaardag!
Dank u wel, meneer. Wish your father a very happy (belated) birthday as well!
Happy Birthday. Good luck and much juju to your Mom.
Hey javaj, how are you? Thank you very much for the juju. Best gift a person can get.
Happy Birthday, Weebles. It’s good to be a star.
Thinking of your Mum.
A star? Wow. That’s high praise indeed from the woman who has the blog I originally envisioned mine to be. It didn’t quite turn out that way. Your blog is one of the best out there, you know. Thanks, Kate.
Awww Happy Birthday! You brighten the world.
What a kind thing to say–thank you, Rebecca!
Cheers to a happy birthday.
Also, sending out extremely positive vibes!
Merci beaucoup, ma nouvelle amie!!
My pleasure!! I’m glad you enjoyed the post
Aweee, happy birthday!
Madame, you HAVE TO email me back. Pretty please.
Sorry for the delay in replying, and now I owe you another reply. I’ll catch up eventually!
Hehe. It’s alright.
Oh, Weebs. I know…here I am again. This makes me want to cry happy tears. And, we’re both thirty, the same age. wink wink. Best to your mom.
Bumble, you and I look fabulous. Thank you—you and so many others were the cause of my happy tears.
Thinking good thoughts for your mom.
Happy Birthday again!!
Hi Lyssa! Thank you from me and my mom!
Sending good thoughts to your mom. I know just how terrible that fucking illness is. May she kick it’s ass!
I’m glad that your day was good Weebly and I’m so glad that Eric asked me to participate. I love you! xoxoxo
I love you too, Mistress! I’m so glad you participated too, it all made my day! Thank you!!
I’m crawling out of hibernation just long enough to wish you a happy birthday, Madame W. Hope it was grand (and how could it not be, with all this coming at cha?!)
Healing wishes to Mother Weebles.
Hello, Robin!!!! I’m so glad to see you! I miss you, but I hope you’re enjoying your hibernation. Thank you very very much–seeing you here makes me very happy.
I hope you’ve had a chance to enjoy the day. And I’m sending positive thoughts out for your mother. Chemo’s tough, but if your mom is anything like mine, she’s even tougher and will kick cancer’s behind to the moon.
Awesome to hear that your mom kicked its ass, JM. Good for her. I did enjoy my day very much, in great part due to you guys, so thank you!!
Happy Birthday – and so wishing the best for your mom!!!
Hi Chica B! Mom and I both thank you!
Well, how was the mashed-potato birthday cake? A big O ?
Adam, I’m still smoking cigarettes, basking in the afterglow.
Madame Mama Weebles is truly fortunate to have such a large group hug coming from all over…including rainy Pacific Northwest Oregon. My rain-soaked brollie salute to her!!
And for you, Missy Madame W….a year of every day celebrations, good and high spirits by the hour, and the reminder of friendship juju coming your way…minute by minute. Happy Birthday from Jots/Raye
What an incredibly beautiful thing to say, Raye—I am very touched, and I thank you so much.
Happy Birthday Madame! Hugo loves you. A little too much. I love you too, but my love is way less creepy.
And you have a lower body, I presume. I mean, it’s okay if you don’t, I’m not judging. I love you regardless. Tell Hugo I’m welding a special gift for him.
sending good ju ju to your mom.. and a big happy b day to you.
Thanks, A!!
Damn it now my mascara and Cleopatra makeup is running! Happy Birthday sweetie from stinky old Lanier. I hope this next year smells great!
Oh Lanier, I’m sure you still look and smell fantastic. Thank you so much, my dear sir.
Little did I know 45 years ago, how my Weeblet would blossom into a world class gutter mouth, and change the world for the better. I am so fuckin’ proud of her!!!!! And thank you all for your good wishes on my chemo.
Thanks Ma. And of course I have you and Dad to thank for the gutter mouth. Fuckin’ A.
Wow! Happy birthday, lovely Weebess! i was 5 1/2 years old when you were born, and i’m sure i would have bullied you as a baby, because 5 1/2 was my brief “bully” phase apparently…
Le Clown is a fucking god! The assembled bloggers are formidable – i mean, anyone who would gift Jesus Jello? That is a gift for the ages…
and to your Momma, jipp — congratulations on birthing an amazing kid. and since you did, you must (by the maternal transitive property of genetics) ALSO be amazing. wishing you a swift and effective chemo, with the least amount of “Ugh” and “Blechh” and “Damn it!” possible!
Le Clown is the bestest, daisymae. And Meizac, who gifted Jesus Jello, is also the bestest. As are you. You’re all tied for the bestest. And amen to chemo with a minimum of “Ugh”, “Blechh” and “Dammit!” Amen, sister.
Happy birthday, Madame. I hope your mother does okay on the Chemo. Best wishes.
Alice
Thanks Alice—also, muchas congrats on the FP!!! I have to come visit you soon.
Praying best for mom’s chemo…my wife does her last session on Monday – as we come out of the storm,we must remember others are just going in…
And Happy B-D to you! I know you aren’t old yet, either…I’ll match you in 7 weeks.
Thank you so much, Nicky, for the birthday wishes and the thoughts for my mom. And likewise, many many good wishes to your wife, congratulations to her!! Here’s to many many happy and healthy years for her (and you).
well, I am obviously not an All-Star blogger cause I was not asked to do anything for you (even though I would have love to) but I want to wish you a very happy birthday nonetheless. Yes. I know there’s only 30 minutes left of your birthday, but still.
Not all tears are bad, so let the happy tears flow. Happy Weebles Day!
Thank you very very much, SSG—some tears are happy tears so I let it all go.
Indeed! I’m glad you had a great birthday. You deserve it. Hope you’re taking good care of yourself
Claudia,
Merry 2013. I’m sorry I omitted you for Weebles’ birthday post; I have asked bloggers who had commented on her blog in the past 30 days (I think I even went as far as to posts published in late November).
Le Clown
Oh, no!
This means I have to apologize to both you, Le Clown and to you Madame Weebles! I’m typically so overwhelmed by the volume of completely random W.P. stuff in my e-mail that I do more deleting than thinking/reading. Anyway, I’m really very sorry… I would have at least tried to come up with something. But, on the bright side, it would’ve been pretty lame anyway, so… yeah.
Spilled Ink Guy,
You have arguably the best gravatar on this blogosphere after mine. It gives you carte blanche when it comes to screwing up. If I were you, I’d do it again.
Le Clown
Thank you, Le Clown! I didn’t see myself feeling any better about this… but strangely… now I do!
Happy Birthday Ms. Weebs
Hi Lucas! Thanks!!
Dear Madame Weebles, I am so very late to see you today, and you have likely gone to bed, but I slip in quietly anyway with birthday wishes and hope you had a wonderful, marvelous, and magical day. At 5:30 p.m., I smeared some mashed potatoes on my husband’s head in your honor. I stuck a birthday candle in the potatoes, and blew it out for you with a wish for a stupendous 2013. I’m putting your mother on my prayer list. Went through it with my father, and I am with you in spirit as your mother’s chemo starts. Hugs and kisses to you.
Oh, Maddie, I’m sorry I’m so late in getting to thank you for your beautiful mashed potato gesture. I had a great day, albeit a potato-less one. Your husband is a good sport for letting you smear mashed potatoes on his head. I’ll have to try that with Mr. Weebles one day.
And thank you so much for putting my mom on your prayer list—hugely appreciated! xoxo
Gracious! Don’t apologize, you had many, many well-wishes in many places, and I appreciate you were able to say hello today. I’m glad you had a wonderful birthday!
I missed your birthday! I suck (and not in the good way). It was a lovely tribute, as only Le Clown could manage. You rock, and happy belated birthday!
Madame Weebles,
Same here.
Happy belated birthday!
mmkng
I accept belated wishes extremely happily, mmkng. Merci beaucoup and muchas gracias!!
Belated birthday wishes are just as good as ones on the actual day, purplemary. Thank you!!!
I’m a day late, but the happiest of birthdays to you! You are seriously loved by some awesome people. That post was amazing.
Hello Nicole Marie!! Thank you so much! I’m still awed and amazed by that post. The best gift I could have ever wished for.
Happy Birthday, Madame Weebles!
Best wishes and best of luck for your mum…
Hi there Dianne! Thank you so much, from me and my mother.
Oh shit fuck! I go away for a couple of days, and when I get back to the land of interwebs I discover I have missed your birthday???
Also, your mom??? You know I will be sending every good vibe I have for her recovery. If she has tingly hands and/or feet… tell her… fresh ginger (about 3cm) unpeeled, grated… cover with hot water… soak hands/feet until water cools.
It helped my sister immediately!
XO
I LOVE a comment that starts with “Oh shit fuck!” Thank you so much for the info on the ginger—I had no idea! Ginger is good for so many things, this is great to know. Thanks so much, Janet!! Big hugs to you.
Happy belated birthday Weebs, I’d have said it earlier, but I’ve been sleeping. It is the hibernation months after all.
I completely understand, Pete. You need to conserve your energy, so I appreciate your taking the time to comment here. You can go back to sleep now.
Happy birthday Madame! If only I’d known. Actually I’m not sure what I would have done if I had known but it would certainly have involved singing, dancing, wine, debauchery, and cupcakes. Or possibly just cupcakes, but either way I’d have spent a lot of time saying happy birthday.
I’m really sorry to hear about your mum. I wish her the very best. Actually, bugger your birthday, I’ll keep the wine and cupcakes on hand for when she has recovered
Cheers
Hi Nigel!! Thank you!!! When are you going to be back to regular blogging, I miss seeing you and your posts! Looking forward to indulging in wine, cupcakes and debauchery with you.
I’m getting back to usual (but not normal) on blogging. I’m down to once a week, otherwise there just isn’t time to fit re-runs of Jersey Shore in. I’ll keep wine, cupcakes and an ample supply of debauchery on hand, just in case you’re passing Texas someday
I’m just glad you still have your priorities in order. Jersey Shore trumps pretty much everything else.
I had to run out before commenting here the day you posted — but I didn’t forget about your mom. I hope all goes well. Take care MW! You’re fortunate to have her in your life. Seems her investment paid off too!
Awww, thank you Sandee, you’re the best.
Be well and know that I am praying and thinking about your mother.
Thank you so much, Soul Walker. I still have to reply to your comments on Eric’s blog, and I’ll be doing that shortly.
Best wishes to Mommy Weebles!
Hope you had a great birthday. You totally deserve it.
Thanks sister. It was a good birthday indeed. I stuffed myself senseless.
Happy Belated Birthday to you. It really sucks because I think I missed the group bath. Maybe next year. I will sending out prayers for your mom.
No worries, AofA, this was a special birthday celebration group bath, but I typically hold group bath parties monthly. Invites for February will be going out soon, so you and I can splash around together then. And thank you so much for the prayers, greatly appreciated!
Belated birthday greetings and prayers for your Mum.
Hello there, Rosie! Thank you very very much, and it’s so good to see you! I’ll be popping over to your blog very soon.
Sorry I was late to the party, but I believe in celebrating an Octave of an important occasion (Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, St Hilda, birthdays, etc) so it’s still your birthday until the 18th.
Will pray for your mum too (providing that my brain remembers this – I say I’ll pray and then it forgets which is most annoying). Xx
I like your style, faith. An Octave it is then! Which means I have 4 more days to celebrate. And thank you very much for the prayers—it’s really the thought that counts, believe me; my brain forgets many many things as well.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (Three days ago…) If you came into my restaurant I’d make sure you got a giant pizookie – so, Internet Pizookie for you!
Happy belated Birthday! Have a year of all good things. All my best vibes to you and your mom from this side The Pond.
*of.
Of course!
Shit, tardy to the party yet a-gain. Happy 45 and 46, Madame. See, who said I was a slacker? I’m the first to wish you well on your 46th birthday. And many, many whoop-ass cancer images are flying your mom’s way. -Nikki
You are absolutely the first to wish me a happy 46th, so you win! Thanks, Nikki, very very much.
Happy belated birthday, Madam! You’ve got the spunk of a teenager…love that about you!
Z&G, how the hell are you, girl?? Thank you so much—it’s much better to have the spunk of a teenager without having to still *be* a teenager, you know?
I do, I do!
Belated Happy Birthday! Birthdays are a lot of fun for me, but I get super-bummed as the birthday ends. We should start a birth-week system.
I dig this idea greatly, Bharat. The end of a birthday is a bummer because then you know you have another 364 days to wait until the next one. Birth-week it is!
I missed your birthday!? (Slaps forehead with heel of one hand while committing hari-kari with the other.) Best Belateds from the Bear!
Thank you so kindly, sir! And no committing hari-kari, I’m looking forward to more on your blog!
I’m a bit late for the group bath, so it’s just you and me Madame. Wahey! Hope you had an outstanding birthday and all good wishes to your mum x
Thank you very much, limmster—you can join me in the bath anytime.
Oh Weebs! Happy Birthday! I so wish I had been here to participate in your love fest. You deserve it so. And I hope that your journey toward 46 is a good one. Happy personal New Year to you.
Man, I am missing everything these days. It feels good to be on your page. I am glad you enjoyed your birthday bonanza!
(By missing everything, I mean I missed this post, not your birthday. But you know that)
