HA! That shot of Otto cracks me up! Flat dog!

Happy birthday!

I once read that the month before one's birthday is supposed to be the most difficult of the year. Which means the universe should start easing up on you, starting today.

And if it doesn't, the universe and I will have some talking to do, I tell you what.

Hope you're having a great birthday, mgl. Spoil yourself, let your friends spoil you, and, as eth so wisely suggested, set something on fire. Wheeee!

HAAAAPY BDAY!

How are you doing? Guess I shd check yr blog.

Happy birthday, dollface! Hope it's swell --- you deserve swell, and sweller than swell.

And if it doesn't, the universe and I will have some talking to do, I tell you what.

And I will be standing behind occhiblu while she gives the universe a talking-to, gently tapping the sweet end of a baseball bat into my cupped palm. Subtle, yes? Got it, universe? Do we have an understanding, universe?

Good.

Neil Hannon of the Divine Comedy would like to sing you a little song.

posted by scody 04 May | 15:52

I meant to post this song in the breakup thread the other day, but better late than never.

Walk Like A Panther.

Hey, happy birthday to you. Really. Since they haven't worked out the process for posting beer, I guess this little number will have to do.

"What doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Nietzsche said that. Of course he's dead now, but let's put that aside for the moment, since the basic sentiment there is, I believe, true. Also, I'm sure Carolyn Mark wouldn't mind if you borrowed "I'm more in love with this cigarette than I'll ever be with you" from the above song, when needed. (Another potentially handy line: "I know how much you hate it when I tell you what to do / but read my lips, you fucker - chew that gum again, we're through".)

Science Girl and I send our best wishes for the coming year, and all the ones afterward.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MyGothLaundry! I am so glad you're here. Since ... well for years anyway... I've always look forward to your posts and comments. I hope you post for years and years and years more.

Happy Birthyear - I missed the day, but the good wishes last all year long - hope it turns into the best year ever!

posted by mightshould 05 May | 06:51

Thanks, y'all! I did have a good birthday after all - my kids took me out to brunch and then some friends had a dinner party for me which was really wonderful. And I got a whole bunch of wonderful presents, yay presents!, so birthdays are pretty awesome after all.

posted by mygothlaundry 05 May | 08:52

I'm glad you had a Hoppy Burfday, (((MGL))).

posted by deborah 05 May | 10:42

You know, people casually say things online like 'you're my hero' and sometimes it's just a nice way of saying 'I like you'. But you, mgl, really ARE a hero of mine. A compatriot in arms, kind of. Keeping the home and the kids together, and being joyfully, wonderfully, always, yourself. I have just the one kid, and a place to live that in terms of security I might as well own, so I look up to you and all you have accomplished with your kids and your house and your dogs and your elegant, intelligent writing. For realz.

*hugs from Vancouver*

And Happy Birthday, even if life sucks. :)
