Birthday Super Suit


Hey Blogger Family!
My Birthday is coming up Sunday Oct 3.
I will have on my trusty poplin floral sheet cape
and hand cut super eye mask just like Batman's.
Of course you know I will also have my undies over
my tee shirt and jeans while I eat birthday with my
trusty country spoon. he he he he!!!
God has been so gracious to me that He has
granted me one more year to terrorize all you
good people!!! he he he he! I've been reeking havoc and
chaos on this world for 47 years! My daily prayer
is," May you not take me from This World before
my time, before the completion of my years
so that I my rectify anything that I have ruined."
Looks like it's gone be a while y'all!!!!
Up, Up, and Awayyyyyyyyy! Aw shoot I dropped my spoon.
Have a great week everyone.

OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH! I thought I was the only one who wore my underwear outside my clothes! Aren't we cool Veeee?

Happy Upcoming Birthday Vee! That is a beautiful day indeed.

For sure we will have virtual cake - ZERO calories - TONS of fun!

Vee, I don't know how else to say this and I really wished that I was up there during this summer - too many this and that and in the end they postpone it on my side and I was left twiddling my thumbs for another stressful deadline - but that is beside the point...

Sometimes I want to quit blogging and just forget everything and everyone and concentrate on my priorities. Maybe I would not make so many mistakes if I set my priorities straight but then I start thinking...you have become a part of my life. I know I still struggle with the thought that I have important, close and intimate relationships with people I have not met face to face but I cannot explain it, some very special bloggers are in my heart, you are a part of me. Your words mean a lot to me and I am fortunate enough that yours are true and heartfelt.

Thank you Vee. I love you and wish you nothing but the best. Your happiness and success make me happy.

I thank God for you. You make this very difficult life on earth "heave" with your contagious happiness and enthusiasm for life.

Happy Birthday, my beloved sisterfriend.

TSUP! TSUP!!!

Ces Adorio said...

Well I mean "heaven" instead of "heave" but too much hapiness makes me "heave" too. So yes, heaven but if you were just a tad on the male side, I would be heaving while reaching heaven. Okay, That is just a joke. I am married to The Viking and I love that man so much.

Tessa said...

You, darling Vanessa, are a shining, glowing light in all our lives. We LOVE you girl - happy birthday, happy days always and in ALL WAYS! Blessing abound. xxx

Anne Huskey-Lockard said...

Well early Birthday Wishes, oh Super Woman and wearer of undies on the outside!!! (and Madonna thought she ahd the corner on that one...PFFFT!!!! Need a REAL woman to show her....)
May you be blessed with many more, may the joy you bring to all through your work continue to bless everyone, may you have health, family and church to surround you. May you always be the generous, delightful soul I have met here!

~~And~~

May you be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the Devil says, "Oh crap she's up!" :D

Love, hugs, and the best of wishes to you!!!

XXOO~~♥
Anne

Happy early b-day, Vanessa! I haven't had time to catch up on my blog reading for a while, and I am just so happy to see what's been going on with you! It's great to see your beautiful family there by your side! Your smiling face makes me want to hug you across the computer (in a non-stalkery, non-creepy way)! I'm so glad I made time to catch up!

Bella Sinclair said...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Happy Upcoming Birthday. You know what that shortens to? H.U.B. Short for HUBBA HUBBA!

I highly recommend the bras made of iron, because then you can use magnets to post up important reminders:

Note to self: Doodle on Depends
Get new spoon

Honey, you rock my world! I hope you continue to ruin things for a long, long, looooong time!

Okay, gotta go take some medication now. Have a super duper day! Love you something fierce!

salli s. swindell said...

k.h.whitaker said...

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Veeeeeeeeee, happy birthday to you! ~just pretend I am singing it to you, or better yet, sing it to yourself for me ;) I am also sending you a virtual cake, hmmmmm, you seem like a chocolate mousse cake kinda gal, or maybe cookies and cream filled cake with whipped cream icing? Happy birthday sweetie, hope you have a great one and that everyone treats you like a queen!

Dear Fireflies said...

Well, Happy Early Birthday, Onee-san!!!! Good to see you showing off the bare necessity, there! HAHAHAHAAA... You have the craziest ideas, which is why I ♥♥ you!!

Anyway, you look so, so, SO gorgeous in the book signing day!!! (I can't believe I missed those posts!)... Congrats, Miss V, you deserve it all! oxox

All the best, Little Bug.

Gay McKinnon said...

Happy birthday Vanessa. You look HOT!

Andrew Finnie said...

heh

I always wear my undies on my head - which probably amounts from the black eyes I get - some from the neighbours and some from walking into things like walls, doorways and plain clothd policeman.

I guess there is a moral there.

have a wonderful birthday!!!

Andrew Finnie said...
