Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

My Minion Army Of One

It's Happy Birthday day here at the Bat Cave!  Yes, my happy birthday!


You are looking at my "small gifts" from My Man.  Flowers (oooh, purdy), chocolates (oooh, yummy) and my very own wee lil' minion (from the movie Despicable Me - which yes, I thought was better than Toy Story 3.  Yeah, I just said that).  I know, all this time hanging around the Interwebs, with no life of my own, and I'm just now getting my first minion.  'Tis sad, truly.

My "big gift" is an upcoming long weekend in Malibu, probably next month sometime.  Which should be lovely since, well, I've never been to Malibu.  I know, I know.  I don't get out to the beach communities nearly as much as I should.  I suck that way.

I've been pretty well spoiled already today, but tonight it's dinner out with Lemon Drop.  She's being kind enough to let her parents tag along (Ha!).  That's big of her, don't ya think?

Happy, happy, happy all around . . . I don't get to the beach much, either. Just don't like salt water in my eyes or sand in my shoes, but Malibu is beautiful. The big thing is that it is different and away from home and so on and so forth. Enjoy!

I loved Despicable Me, too! Not sure if more than Toy Story 3, but definitely it was up there.

Happy Birthday! So great to see you during RWA.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody! My little minion is now keeping me company at work. He watches over my computer with my mini-Yoda and Crow T. Robot figurines.

Seriously, I am such a dork.
