Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you—
“You look like a monkey, and you smell like one too!“
Hey, who let that kid in here? Shove a cookie in his cakehole, and let’s try this again…*ahem*…
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday
dear Fallen Monkey, happy birthday to you!!!
Ah yes, it was at 5:50pm on this day one year ago when this proud blog-mama gave birth to a healthy, sassy little monkey in an attempt to get over writer’s block. It weighed in at 10 posts over the first month. Author and baby were doing fine.
And still doing fine, thanks to the loyal readers who indulge the writing prompts, rants, and primate poop jokes. Time to go blow out the candle on the banana cream pie before it melts…

How cool, your blogs shares my best friend’s birthday!
You know, I don’t even remember what date I started my old blog or the new one, I’m a bad parent lol.

Happy Birthday blog monkey 1 year done – impressive

Why, thank you! I’m not sure how that equates in monkey years, but am still feeling young-n-spry ;).

Happy Birthday, Monkey! Please, do let me take you out for a banana daiquiri when I’m in town to celebrate. 🙂
Also – that would be awesome if you’d join the hop on the 31st for “Where do you write”! You most certainly qualify and it’ll be fun to have you aboard.

Congrats! And many ‘appy returns! Glad to have been along for the ride most of this year, and looking forward to what the monkey has to sling our way next.
