Thank you everybuggy!

Oh my beloveds! Thank you ever so much for all your lovely wishes, and for presents, oh my goodness! Lots of wonderful presents! So many hugs and kisses to you all!

Now, as you know, I'm a shallow old woman, and an attention hoor to boot—no secret to my nearest and dearest—so the thrill of seeing my name all over made me wiggle like a puppy!
Oh c'mon! Tell me you don’t get a little zing seeing your name in other folk's posts—no? Not even a little? Hmmm….*contemplates that she's even shallower than she thought—laughs out loud*
Oh well! Fiddle-dee-dee! *flicks little lace fan*

So, can I ask one more birthday present pretty please?

If you writers would please link to anything you have posted whilst I was away down south? (Virginia's south, right? Land o' cotton, good times there are not forgotten, blah-blah?) Please with a capital pleh?
