Happy Birthday To Mock!!!

It's the day AFTER Mock's birthday, y'all. And, normally, there would be great fuss and fanfare on her Actual Birthday.  I would've brought donuts to the office and balloons, and we would've sang "Happy Birthday" (at least 1,427 times) yesterday.  But alas, I was out of town, and she was, too.  We have been on vacation this week, and we've literally been on REAL vacation for the first time in like five years.  It's been completely awesome.  But in the midst of that awesomeness, I missed said Actual Birthday to provide such hoopla (for the first time in five years).  

So here I am, today, the day after, writing a birthday post for Mock.

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOCK!!!!!!

Because today is the day after the should've-been celebration of her birth, and I hope you'll take a moment to wish her the happiest of days and write something nice to her, because she seriously EATS THAT CRAP UP, you guys.

As for me, she's already gotten my hug and a card, and she'll surely get more belated fuss next week, and she sees my sorry mug every day (well, every week other than this one, anyway).  But I'm wishing her – again – the happiest birthday ever.  She is one-of-a-kind, the biggest smile in the room, the one of the two of us on even the crappiest of days, who can make things appear Technicolor.  She's human freaking sunshine, y'all.  And I'm glad her parents decided to get busy that night years ago, because as a result of their BOW CHICKA BOW BOW, she's become one of my favorite people in this crazy world.

Happy birthday, partner-in-crime.  (I hope you're somewhere dancing on a table in some VIP section, after drinking too much wine, screaming inappropriate things at that Englishman who you will apparently travel halfway around the world to try to meet with Mr. Mock in tow.)

Now bask in all your glorious online birthday fuss!!!!!!
