A Happy Germy Birthday to Me!!!!


If you know who this green woman is, then you and I are children of the 60's!
I wanted this green, shiny, beautiful, glowing, alien goddess, from the "Lost in Space"
series to be my friend and live with me forever. Athena was her name! She was
the most beautiful green girl I had ever seen and she might have even had a few
alien germs, but I liked her just the same. So since it's my 46th birthday
I took some need time and recreated her for If's Germs. Thanks to all my family,
blog Peeps and friends who have wished me a Happy Birthday! I love yall so much!!!!
Now make sure you wash your hands after reading this post he he he!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN V! This is your day. Do as you please and you can even be a germ if you want, uh, but, but, I hope they don't start dropping some broad spectrum antibiotics here and third generation cephalosporins here because if germs looked ike this, no one will be washing hands! Lovely illustration sisterfriend and a lovely day it is!

    Mwah!

    Happy, happy days Your Most Lovely And Esteemed Royalness! I send you huge jet-propelled hugs from across the ocean and I wish you a the happiest of Birthdays and the very happiest of days always. Your germy is very beautiful...but then that doesn't surprise me in the least!

    Now I have to go play big catch-up with all your posts I missed while I was forced to abandon Bloggyland for house-hunting and other real life niggles. I just know I'm in for a treat! xxx

    Happy happy, Miss V!

    Oooh, I hope you are having a great time today. I hope the sun is shining and the little kitty is purring loudly on your shoulder and rubbing against your ear. I hope you get loaded down with kisses and presents.

    I finally found your eyeball under the couch. It was covered in dog hair, but don't worry. I polished it off with a little spit. Hope you don't mind, good as new. There.

    Now take a look at this green foxy lady. If that's what germy looks like, then hey mama, cover me in snot already. I want her shapely calves. I covet other women's calves. Does that make me strange?

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wow, great illustration. I was a child of the 70's but I still remember that show. She kinda reminds me of Lady Ga Ga too. I hope that is not insulting. Lady Ga Ga wears head gear in her shows. Anyway, remember, you are not another year older...you are another year more wise, another year more better at illustrating, and another year blessed!
