throw a virtual birthday party for the one and only DESOLATEIRONY!

I totally missed this. And I love Des. And I feel terrible. Anyways, I hope you have a great year, Des.

(Smacks forehead)

Darn second job! Takes away all of my virtual party time!!!
Hope it was as grand as one of Des’ parties!

Des, I’m sorry that I missed your party. I had out-of-town company, then got sick. But I was thinking of you and hope you had a wonderful day.

Oh, this weekend got away from me, and I missed it!!!!!!!!!! :-(

Happy Birthday, anyway, Des!!!!!!!!!!

And, I hope your day was wonderful.

to follow David’s sweet message, but somebody has to, right?

Happy Birthday Des!!! You’ve shown such equanimity, kindness, compassion, wisdom, and wit. What a joy to read your posts on 43things, I wish for you as much health, love, and prosperity as can fit into anybody’s life. You deserve much happiness.

To my one and only :-)
