Thanks, everyone!

I've just come up for air. I was makin' out with "sass" and cleaning up Pete's gush.

"Jodiverse" is whatever you want it to be. It can be "Jo Diverse", because I am, indeed, diverse; it can be "Jodi Verse", because I am, indeed, a writer-type and a great poet; or it can be "Jodiverse", a clever play on "universe". Or, of course, "Jo, Divers, E!" which is the most logical -- a combination of a truncation of my first name, a general acknowledgment of those who dive, and a "shout out" to the E! Entertainment Channel.

"Jodiverse" = Jodi + verse?

And here I thought it was a clever play on the word 'universe'... Jodiverse... where it's all about Jodi, her view on things, her reality. Everything and everyone in constant rotation around Jodi, ad infinitum and ad nauseum until the Jodiverse expands to such a point as the sheer weight of it all causes it to collapse back upon itself in one cataclysmic (sp) bang only to begin anew.

Not to mention this insane gravitational pull she seems to possess. (There could be an obvious reference here to her mysterious 'black hole', but I will refrain for the sake of decorum.)

Jodi Verse, huh?

Whodathunkit.

Hey, at least there are the archives.

Good thing we're not holding out breath for that next post, cuz we'd all be dead by now.

I think I just gushed. I ought to clean that up before someone slips on it.

Jodi - I hope you are looking forward to another year of good coffee, vegetarian cuisine, cute puppies, kick ass Pilates workouts, and snazzy footwear :) xxoxoox

Meow gushing, meow. Meow Birthday, meow meow. Boo meow!

A belated Happy Birthday!

hm. you're a scorpio. i'm a scorpio.

i think we should make out.

Ah, The Jodi. Whose name up there in the address bar always seemed to me to read Jo Diverse, when it fact it's Jodi Verse, for reasons I cannot fathom. Does she write verse? Have I not sufficiently read the entire contents of the sidebar? These are the mysteries of my life, one day after her birthday. Unponderables that I shall no doubt ponder for at least two minutes, before I say, Happy Birthday, Funny Lady.

All the best.

I have, in an attempt to curry favor with one of my most FAVOURITE blogstressess (who LOVES curry, right?), endeavored to surmount the insignificant position of mere “commenter.” Therefore, Jodi PunkinHead Birthday Girl, Esq., I have FEATURED YOU and your natal day on my blog (WITH sparkles and dancing things and twinkly lights galore, as you deserve). So go HERE and be OFFICIALLY honoured and greeted.

Ever Yours,
Crazy Kate of Le Monde de Kate du Fromage

P.S. I felt like I should mention Grettir’s Mom FIRST, because – she’s older – so respect one’s elders and all that jazz? I was going to say “age before beauty” but she’s a lovely woman and that wouldn’t be fair.

Gushing for you over here!

Hope your birthday was amazing... and I hope you didn't forget your cake (at least a little piece).

Joyeux Anniversaire from Canada (Yeah, I know, Edmonton is mostly Anglo, but whatever)! I am a busy international traveler now, so I don't have much time, but you know, go crazy, eat a ribeye at Applebee's or something.

But since I AM here, can I be first in line for those wanting to administer the traditional over-the-knee, bare-assed birthday spanks?

How old are you now anyway? 103?

I got nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada. The big goose egg.

I was working on something about "pumpin' kin" on your birthday... Then realized jokes like that really only fly in West Virginia and certain counties in Upstate New York.

I'm a failure.

But I will return.... Oh yes... Like the phoenix I shall arise from the ashes of my embarassment bigger and more brazen than ever before... And all shall feel my wit... And know that I have come.

Wow. Sorry, got a little self-absorbed there. Where's my damn Prozac?

"Rosebud."

Happy Birthday my favorite little Gaye!!! You're special, and I'm glad you were born. :-)

Happy Birthday miss Jodi! :D
