Happy Blogoversary, Oh Fuse of the Number Eight!
February 7, 2008







  Zzzzzzzzzzzz




  Psst.




   Zzzzzzzzzzzz




  I said, "Psst!"





  And I said "zzzzzzzzz".  Go away.






  Don't you know what day it is?






  (cracks one bleary eye open)





  Well?





   It's Thursday.  Thursday is a day when I can sometimes sleep in because I'm working the evening shift at the library.  As that seems to be the case I am currently attempting to sleep.  So if you'll excuse me . . .




  Wait!  It's more than just Thursday!  Don't you remember?




  (uh-oh)  Uh... what is it?  Some Canadian Thanksgiving or something?  The day after Ash Wednesday?




  (glowers)




  No?  Hm.  It's . . . . oh.





  Oh dear.





  IT'S MY FREAKIN' BIRTHDAY AND YOU TOTALLY FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT . . .





  Technically it's the blog's anniversary . . .




   . . .  AND HERE I AM SLAVING AWAY FOR YOU EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY AND WHAT DO YOU CARE?




  Slaving?






  EXACTLY.  (muffles sobs)




  Aw.  Now see here, little buddy.  I didn't forget.  It just slipped my mind a little.  Let's see, how old is the blog again?




  (petulant) Two.




  And what is the two year anniversary?





  (momentarily baffled)




    It's cotton!  So look what I got you!





   Is that one of your husband's undershirts that was just sitting on the bed?





  A COTTON undershirt, sweetie pie.  Let's just see how it fits . . .



   . . . . . . . . .





  Perfect!  Happy anniversary, little Fuseman.  And a happy blogoversary to all you readers out there.  It's been quite a strange trip these last few years, but I couldn't be happier.  And that goes double for the Fuseman here.




  . . . . . . . . .




  Till next year!




(Thanks too to Carter Hasegawa who was good enough to remind me about this before Fuseman did.)

Happy birthday to you / Squashed tomatoes and stew / Bread and butter in the gutter / Happy birthday to you! (a trad. British street rhyme for you straight from the devastatingly perfect Here's a Little Poem by Yolen and Fusek. This is my girls' new favorite version of the birthday ditty). Happy happy and celebrate big! What would Blogistan be without Fuse? Nothing, I tell ya. Nothing.

Happy Bloganniversary! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Fuse keeping us sane...or at least on top of the latest news and fun. Thanks!

I adore you and your blog, but the picture following "petulant" is downright frightening.

Crud! I missed it yesterday! Forever appologies. One of these days I'll actually make to a kidlit drink night and then it's one on me (hopefully not literally). Now, remember the anniversary song from the Flintstones?

HEY! Happy Anni-blogo-versary! You and Laini started on almost the same day? That's just too screwy to think about for too long! Anyhow, I hope you celebrated decadently :) Be well, Jim
