Hey everyone, head on over to Monkey's and wish her a happy birthday! She's turning the big 3-0!!!! She's having a crazy work day today -- a day when she should be out lounging on a beach or eating fabulous food or doing whatever else she fancies, NOT dealing with annoying work issues -- so leave her some birthday cheer!

Today, Rude Cactus has up a pretty awesome post on how this crazy internet thing can actually lead to you becoming friends with FAMOUS people. And, like REAL LIFE famous, not just internet famous. And REAL LIFE friends, even. How crazy is that? Go check out his story and drop him a comment... you'll even be in the running for a book written by his REAL LIFE FAMOUS friend! :-)

Finally, I urge you to go check out Ashley's etsy shop, Joyful Star. If it weren't for the fact that I've just had to blow most of my savings on my freaking mouth, I'd totally be scooping up items from her shop left and right. Here pouches are adorable, and I love, love, love this fun tote bag.
