I'm so sorry I missed bunches of birthdays! (Okay, I haven't entirely missed yours yet, JB, since it's today -- but boy, did I miss several others.) I apologize, Birthday People; I was way under the weather and stressed-out and just not even here hardly.

So, um --

Happy Belated Birthday, sif_aka_joanna! I hope it was a truly lovely day. Weeks ago. ::headdesk:: Wishing you a truly lovely new personal year, too (now that we're... weeks into it :-)).

Happy Belated Birthday, ponders_life! Eh, only a week late for your birthday. ::facepalm:: I hope your new year is filled with blue ballpoint pens (and many other even more wonderful things)...

Happy Belated Birthday, jessriley! Not quite a week late. ::eyeroll:: Sending you a late but heartfelt Birthday Pie And Sauce with a candle on top and lots and lots of good wishes for now and for the year to come. (And cake. In case you'd like dessert after the Pie. :-))

Happy Birthday Today, jadebear07! A big box full of chocolate (yes, you may have Yoda and Jim, both -- it's your birthday :-)), and hopes that you've had a wonderful day today, and will have a wonderful new JB year. ::hugging you, and adorning Larry with bows and birthday candles::
