Happy Birthday!
Ooh! Can’t wait to hear what you get THIS year! Enjoy this anniversary of your ascension from the void Gem.
feliz cumpleanos, chica.
shit…isn’t today your birthday?…shit shit shit
Happy happy birthday! 🙂
I’m impressed with your memory…I’d be hard pressed to name anything specific about any birthday I’ve had (including the last one, yikes)
Don’t be too impressed with my memory. I forgot my ATM pin number today so completely that I locked myself out of my account.
If I could, I’d send Paul Westerberg to serenade you today.
Happy birthday, Jodi.
Happy Birthday Jodi…
For your birthday.. this year you finish your great novel and get published! Have a great one!
At least you didn’t forget your ATM machine PIN number.
That would’ve been doubly-redundant, and repetitive.
Happy Birthday, Jodi!
