My Pal Drowsey Monkey is not only one of my favorite
bloggers and an all around terrific

person...today she is celebrating her
ONE YEAR BLOG-IVERSARY! Woo-
Hoo!!!
And, it's been nearly that long since I was first drawn to her blog by this post:
A Large Penis Is Good To Have.
(A-hem.) And curiously enough, if you read the
comments on that post, you'll see that it was also our good buddy
Speedcat Hollydale's first visit to
Drowsey's blog too! AND
not only that...but
Drowsey's comment back to me on that post states that she was
(surprise surprise) "confused" by my comment! And so set the stage for a year of some of the funniest and most memorable blogging moments I've ever had, and the development of a friendship with one of the nicest people I've ever met.
Whether I'm reading one of
Drowsey's hilarious, astute, or heartfelt posts
(*see the best of the best here), or we're "stalking" each other all around the
blogosphere, or staying up
waaaaay past our bedtimes having one of our
now infamous late night e-mail "
gab-sessions", or conspiring to
PhotoShop some part of
Speedy's anatomy....getting to know this woman has been an honor and a total BLAST!
Besides her sense of humor, what I appreciate most about
Drowsey is her warmth, openness and genuineness...she has a
gift for story-telling that makes you feel like you're sitting next to her in her living room (with her
cats) and sharing a cup of coffee (with
Baileys, of course) and maybe even with that
creepy ol' neighbor peeking in through the window. Dang!...if we only lived closer, I KNOW we'd be hanging out together and cracking each other up ALL THE TIME! In fact, I don't imagine we'd get much else done...
but...it sure would be fun! (Actually, in September I really AM gonna visit Drowsey! So stay tuned for THAT!) HAPPY 1st BLOG-IVERSARY TO
MY PAL DROWSEY!
This clam's for you! {{{HUGS!}}}

Like this one from Drowsey Monkey fan, Jack Payne...
Happy Anniversary, Drowsey:
As long
as you don't take bus trips up there in bushwack country (I have that beheading of the blogger on a bus in mind), you are probably safe to pursue your career as one of the world's foremost bloggers. It's said that the colder the X-Ray table, the more of your body is required on it. This blogging addiction is much like this. However, you seem to have mastered this craft, with omnipotent powers of communication. When in doubt about an upcoming blog piece, merely sprinkle some of your Holy Water on it--and go with it.
Cheers! ~Jack
