He sent them a day early, so they'd be a real surprise. I love that man.
Wishes have been coming in -- on FetLife, via email and even on good old vanilla Facebook. No spankings yet, and none planned for tomorrow, but in my usual fashion, I'm going to milk this birthday for at least a week. You know, if I must have these freaking age-markers, I'm going to enjoy them, dammit. So we'll see what the coming days may bring.
My dear friend Dave Wolfe, talented creator of WolfieToons, has had a tradition for several years in which he draws an original birthday cartoon for me. This year, he is swamped with work and didn't get a chance, but he made sure to send me something cute nonetheless:
(I'm a huge Marxophile, in case you guys didn't know!) Thanks, Dave!
And just so you can see his wonderful work, here's my birthday toon from last year:
It's now 1:00 a.m. and I should be tired, but I'm too wound up. How dumb is that -- what am I, five? Am I getting a pony? Tomorrow is Wednesday. Period. It's the middle of the week. I'm going to the gym. But I can't help it... there's that goofy leftover giddiness from long ago, when birthdays were as exciting as any holiday, with the promise of treats and surprises. Cake calories didn't count. I couldn't wait for the mail to come, because mixed in with all the boring grownup stuff (read: bills), there were cards for me. My birthday was my day. Sure, a bazillion other people claimed the same date, but it didn't matter -- I didn't know them. For that one date on the calendar... I was special. The rest of the year I felt invisible, but September 22 was mine.
For all those who make me feel special every day... thank you. :-) For now, I'm going to make popcorn, eat peanut-butter Oreos and watch Dark Shadows until I get sleepy. Yes, at this hour. I get to -- it's my birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERICA!!!

ReplyDeleteHappy 30th birthday (yes, I know you've reached that milestone, as I recall wishing you happy 28th birthday two years ago, so by my calculations, you are now 30). I hope you have a great day, a great upcoming year, and a great life. And, no, for once, I won't presribe a birthday spanking (I suspect you don't need me to recommend one). Happy birthday.
ReplyDeletePaul -- you need a new calculator, dear. :-) But thank you. And I'm going to fill that prescription as soon as humanly possible.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite Marxist lines is when Groucho says to the Queen in Duck Soup "I'm fighting for your honor, which is more than you ever did." Only, I don't need to fight for your honor. Everyone realizes you are youthful, witty, beautiful, and vibrant. If you might possibly be a little over 28.
ReplyDeletesoooooooooooooo thats how many spanks my dear ? I would say 54 and anothe couple hundred to grow on ? lol
ReplyDeletePaul -- I have no honor to fight for! :-D Still, the compliments are much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteAlan -- I do not need to grow anymore, thankyouverymuch! :-)
Happy Birthday to you...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you...
You deserve a good spanking...
Maybe a few! :)
By the way, great teeth, dental torment seems to work for you. lol!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! The flowers are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteKelly -- Har! Yeah, after four years of braces, they damn well better be great teeth. :-) And those spankings are coming, I promise.
ReplyDeleteIggy -- he always uses the same florist and they know us, so they make the bouquets extra nice. I think this is the best one yet!

ReplyDeleteDave -- Cute! Thank you. :-)
ReplyDeleteI am late but as your birthday lasts at least a week I suppose I am still on time (ish).
ReplyDeleteA very, very happy birthday too, may you be kissed and spanked and adored not just this week but every day of every week.
xx
Poppy -- "ish" is just fine! You're right; it's birthWEEK. We needn't settle for anything less. :-)
