This year I had my birthday pretty much planned before the end of December. I was going to have a small dessert and maybe one gift and we would do the singing and candles and all would be happy. A couple of weeks ago Howard and schlock fans significantly changed that plan. Over the last two weeks we’ve been getting almost daily packages. Howard won’t let me open them, he’s been hoarding them away in his office and Kiki has been wrapping them. It got to the point where another package would arrive and Kiki would happily groan “Another present!” and run off to wrap it.
So I made a new plan. I planned that today would pass fairly normally and then after dinner we’d have dessert and candles, then we’d take the pile of presents and I’d have the kids help me unwrap them all. That plan is still in effect except the “today would pass normally” part. This morning I found a present in my email box. Rowyn made 6 pictures for me to use as LJ icons. Then to ensure that I was able to utilize them all she gave me a paid Livejournal account. It is one of those wonderful gifts that I didn’t even know I wanted, but I’m incredibly happy to have. Now I need to write appropriate journal entries so that I can use all of them. Thank you Rowyn!
Also a big “Thank you!” to everyone out there who sent me presents. I don’t even know who you all are yet because Howard won’t let me look at the names until present time.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDRA!!!!
You deserve everything you get today!
🙂
Have a GREAT and Wonderful Birthday today!
Happy Birthday Dear Sandra … I hope being this appreciated helps make up a bit for the getting older!

Happy Birthday
Hi Sandra,
Many Happy Returns from across the pond, Hope all goes to plan and you all have a great time unwrapping those gifts.
Looking forward to meeting up with you and Howard in March.
Chris.
Happy birthday Sandra!
Did Rowyn make this posts avatar/icon? She dun good!
Happy Birthday, my dear Sandra Tayler
See? Not all gifts must come in a mailer
(I too did benefit
From her talents and wit
And her generous heart couldn’t fail her.)
But you well-deserve such a tonic
(Though with Howard it’s somewhat ironic
That the art where you star
Should have come from afar)
May your happiness reach the iconic!

Happy Birthday 🙂
Happy Birthday!
I mentioned in a previous post that you share a birthday with my mother. The wonderful woman who gave me life and the wonderful woman who makes Schlock possible on the same day — coincidence? I think not…
Hope you had a great day.
Yes, that’s one of mine. 🙂 Thank you!
She dun 7 good! I’ve added the six she gave me for my birthday to the one she gave me 6 months ago and now I have a repetoire of 7 different expressions that I can be using with my live journal.
Yay!
You’re welcome! And I’m especially glad that you like them. The likelihood that I will draw a picture for someone is directly related to the likelihood that I think they’ll enjoy it. So it’s all your fault I did them, really. 😉
