best birthday gift ever

I'm always cynical when it comes to my birthday. It's like New Years Eve -- big buld up, abrupt let down.

But not this year.

Aaron from the Rantblog
, gave me the second best gift ever.

The absolute best gift was a visit from Steve H.; including an autographed copy of his cookbook and champagne chicken prepared by the chef himself. For the party. I live to share the joy.

But back to Aaron's gift...a sweet and innocent Bill Clinton doll.

Normally when you get gifts, the givers expect you to take good care of it, and enjoy it for many years. Like when Don Rumsfeld gave me that stiletto for protection.

Aaron's gift has already made its way across LA. And been the recipient of various types of abuse. I'll spare you the details for now. But I know Aaron will take great delight in knowing my gay houseboy is out looking for a properly proportioned blue dress.

Here is the first in a series of photos.

I made Bill Clinton wet today.
No worries about shrinkage though.

(third best gift, all my friends at the compound this weekend. And a post-party pool party. Didn't I just say that has never happened?)

I caught Bill trying to mount a bichon frise.

It looks like a butchered Where's Waldo? doll.

At first glance, I thought you were dropping him off a window ledge into a swimming pool.

Happy my gift will keep on giving.

Please, more Mr. Bill photo-ops!

This has potential to be bigger than the Travelocity gnome........

Honey, I'm so sorry I couldn't make it on Saturday. I was sick as a dog and even tried calling you from urgent care (but got some crazy lady instead...we really need to figure out why you only get half my calls when I dial the same damn numbers every time!)

Happy Birthday, babe! You're THE BEST!

Oh, Yeah, Happy Birthday, and Many Returns of The Day!


M'self, I'd rather not be reminded, have been that way since turning 40, which was entirely too long ago.

Hmmmm...

Kim, Mox, Steve and I are going to the range today.

Keep hope alive.

Should be a line break after the first comma, above.
