october love - and a birthday give away!



i am not the only one around here that loves october.
this guy thinks october means

cuddle me now it's cold in here.

he's lucky he always gets what he wants.

ok, so there's another reason why i love october

...it's my birthday month!

now, let's face it, what grown-up doesn't have some remnant of that kiddy feeling of excitement on their birthday month?

but a birthday in october when you're a kid? it's one hot cake & candy (halloween) filled mess of a month. it was great!

come to think of it, it's still great! bring on the cake & candy!!

ahem.

actually, what i came on here to say is that

it's m' birthday, it's m'birthday, it's m'birthday,
and i gots one weck jar full of straight up greengage jam to give away!

so respond by midnight on my birthday - october 22nd (this thursday) and i'll use that trusty random number generator to pick the winner of this:


don't forget to leave your email address so if you are the winner i can contact you for your snail mail. ...and also unfortunately i think i need to limit this to the usa because of customs and shizzle.

...and bonne chance!
