Pathetic

For those of you who haven't guessed by now, we're moving.
At the end of this month.
To Spokane.
I've been making some new friends in the process. Here's one:


I think I shouldn't even bother announcing the fact that I'm going on hiatus anymore. Rather, you should just assume that I am on hiatus unless I mention otherwise.

Really. That's just how pathetic of a blogger I am.


And if you want to hear more about my pathetique (yeah, I know that's not a word, but it SHOULD be), today's my birthday. And these are the guys I get to spend it with.

Boxes.

Hungry, demanding, whiny boxes who bring me no cake and make fun of me.

I deserve it though, I suppose.

I have been horrible with birthdays this year. Nearly every year, really. Think about it: did I send YOU anything for your birthday?

I didn't? What a surprise.

I haven't even been to your blog in six months?

Has it really been that long?

It has?

*wincing*

See? Pathetic.
I suppose I had better get back to stuffing boxes. They are clamoring for more...stuff.

*sigh*


And if you're feeling sorry for me, I guess you can feel better about it by leaving me a virtual present. Costs nothing, and no postage? Does it get better than that?

Wow, I was going to wish you a happy birthday, but you're right! You didn't wish me a happy birthday or get me anything.

Watch out for that first box with the fangs. Dangerous looking fellow, that one.

(Happy birthday!)

Melissa said...

Hopefully the packing will go well... and your birthday will be good :)

How did Omar get here so fast??

Muy feliz cumpleaƱos a ti! I hope someone, somewhere bring you cake or something.

I bet your ward is crying :( Boo hoo to them.

Eep! A CHUPACABRA! Nobody open that box!

wynne said...

Yeah, omar. He already bit me.

Thanks, melissa! The good news: I didn't get a paper cut at ALL today!

NCS--Thanks. I don't need cake, though. I have ice cream.

Darn, I missed it... But I do have a good excuse. I was trapped in a metal tube, 35,000 feet over the Atlantic, with a nauseous little girl.

Hope it was a happy one.

And I'm still jealous that you get to move to Spokane. ^_^ hee hee

I'll forgive you, just so long as you come back to entertain us eventually!

Happy Happy Birthday!
I hope your move goes well and you can find the towels when you need them.
I personally can never managed to do that in a move.

happy birthday!

I just accidentally wrote "jappy birthday'
I think my subconcious is racist.
If I didn't have to go to work, I would blabber on about my trip past your town, but I have to go...darn it.
Have a great birthday!

Happy Birthday Wynne.

Carrot Jello interrupted a very important birthday party-right at the moment that they were bringing out the five course meal from Papa John's Pizza- to ask me if I had your phone number, Wynne. I can totally verify that she was driving by your town and desperately wanted to meet you.

(I'm glad I didn't have it because I don't Carrot to get to meet you before me. )

(And Hey, WHY don't I have your number? Maybe you don't like me?)

Only Dr. Ruth can thoroughly explain exactly why your box is so very angry....

elasticwaistbandlady said...

I got the most amazing package yesterday. It was stuffed full with quirky odds and ends that "spoke" to me. It was like a padded envelope with wrapped nesting dolls inside....each one more awesome than the previous.

THANK YOU WYNNE!!!

I barely got to take a few pictures before my kids pounced and started claiming stuff for themselves.

And on this day in history....A musky Muskadillo was born onto us...and we turn our gaze skyward to thank the heavens above for such a small wonder.

(Small Wonder is not to be confused with the cheesy 80's sitcom involving an improbable story line and a robot girl named Viky)

so your birthday is now on my calendar - and it recurrs every year so i will never forget again :) That doesn't mean you'll get a card, just that you know I will think of you at least on that day every year. can you feel the lovely thinking thoughts of you going on right now? they involve drives to sonic and descriptions of barbie wheels of destruction. very fun thoughts. if you want, you can pack some of them in a box. it will be very light, but very full. make sure it gets to spokane with you, as I am sad I can't come too. I haven't been brave enough to climb into a box and send myself just yet.

happy birthday two days late!

Meghan said...

Tyler, Bret, and I called you for your birthday, but I'm not sure you got the message. Someone else told me my phone doesn't work when I leave messages. ????
Happy Birthday again!

wynne said...

Hey--thanks everybody. I'm feelin' mighty warm 'n' fuzzy because of all the birthday wishes! (Or maybe it's warm 'n' fuzzy because I accidentally taped myself inside a cardboard box with a cat? Hmm.)

Super Happy Girl said...

alligator preserve. Bwahaha. You are killing me. Again.

How's the boxing going?

hi wynne bday girl!

happy happy birthday wynne dear, happy things will happen to you all year, if i had a wish and it could be a happy happy birthday from me to you. ta da.

and you sent me that awesome care package last year around this time and it arrived in my birthday month. and i loved especially how you gave me the little gratitude journal notebook to carry around when i was not at my computer. and i ran with it and i have filled it up with all kinds of warm fuzzies, compliments, great moments, notes from church classes, quotes. thank you for that. it is now a habit strong in me to carry around a little book to jot down anything anytime i feel like it. YOU did that girl. thank you for influencing me like that. you are a dear, kathleenybeany/grateful :)
