Blah Blah Blah
The birthday festivities began early for me (March 29 here in the US, March 30 in Australia) with a lovely bouquet of beautiful flowers featured on Ozg's blog. I was extremely touched by the gesture, and it felt really nice to be acknowledged like that. Thank you so much!! Unspoiled diva that I am, the birthday blog partying didn't stop there.
Yesterday was less depressing than I expected thanks to the lot of you who were threatened by Zoe and more gently kicked by Kat to pop in here and wish me a happy birthday. Thanks so much for following their orders ;-)
I'm highly amused by the number of commenters who wrote "I'm here because I'm scared of Zoe." All those comments were made by men. Kat's readers were a bit more lively and happy-go-lucky. Nevertheless, it was nice to have some new folks stop by the virtual party, and it's really a shame I can't hand out slices of the fabulous cake I got yesterday. Oh well. Next year we'll just have to do a real party somewhere. I'll let Zoe plan it. ;-)
On a separate note, I was terribly disappointed that some of you (and you know darn well who you are) didn't even bother to blow some of your sunshine my way. Do I have to name names here? Sheesh.
Outside of the above, I had good intentions to do a few things yesterday -- self-focused, all-about-me stuff that I never do, but that plan went out the window and it ended up that I didn't have the time. Marcus phoned from Nashville and sang 'Happy Birthday' to me one too many times and I begged him to stop singing. Still, it was nice that he took the time to call. Late last night my friend Holger called from Berlin while in bed (I'll leave the imagery up to your dirty little minds) which just helped to end my day with lots of laughter.
Today I began my day with two phone calls and both were from someone's misdialed fax machine (do you have any idea what it's like to be on the receiving end of a fax call? It's murder on your eardrums.) And there ya have it. Nothing riveting went on but in blog space, I had a great time and thank you again!

A ver merry unbirthday to you! It sounded lovely. Back to harsh reality, I guess (I hate it when a fax goes beep...SCREEEE...in my ear!)

Almost all of the readers who stopped by were Zoe's. Either my readers really suck or I need to be a hell of a lot more aggressive. Ah, well.
I get fax machine calls all the damned time here at work! You'd think that when people see that their faxes aren't going through they'd investigate as to why. Nah, they just wait and do it again in an hour or so and let it go through all of it's re-dials. Sheesh.

Shhhh. I am still suffering from that party at the pub. I can't get the tune of 'squippy the bush kangaroo' out of my head either.

And no I am not going to sing it. My head hurts too much.

Happy Belated Birthday, M'dear. Sorry I'm so late on the well wishes. I'm scrambling like crazy to catch up with the pack!
