I usually try not to make a big deal out of my birthday by, you know, not mentioning it on a public medium such as this, but this is more out of appreciation and to give credit where credit is due ...

Beki - Thanks for the Enrique Iglesias e-card ... sponsored by ACUVUE contact lenses. Cracked me up!

Leah - Thanks for the e-card where the monster eats candy corn ... but gets acid reflux if he eats the green ones. I wasn't very good.

Dad - Thanks for calling to wish me happy birthday at 6:23 a.m. this morning ... on my day off. And thanks also for calling again 10 minutes later to do the same thing.

Tracy - Thanks for the IM, I know I still owe you, and why the heck did you call me "Rabbit"?

Laura - Thanks for the IM, I think I will have a great day, and you have a great day as well.

Amber - Glad you guys had fun at dinner, wish I coulda been there too. Don't work too hard.

Kid - Thanks for the birthday greeting. Don't think that just because this message isn't as long as the others that I don't appreciate your birthday greeting as much as the others. Now I guess this message is as long - well longer even - as the others.

*Update*

Erin - Thanks for the birthday message. I hope your costume works out and have a blast with whatever you do!

If you notice that your name isn't on this list it's because you haven't given me ample reason to put you here. If you want to fix that, I think you know what to do (I'll be accepting 10's, 20's (preferrably one of the new "techni-color" ones) and 50's. I also take credit cards).

Happy Halloween everyone
