I occasionally like to jazz up my birthday cards with fun drawings. Here’s one I included in a card that I recently sent to a young friend of mine who just turned 9. The heads are from photos of my dogs, Henry and Diesel (who my friend loved). I added the goofy bodies to give her a giggle.
The second image is a drawing that she did and sent back to me inside a thank you card. I think it’s hilarious with those little “French” fries saying “Bon appetite!”
This year, I really wanted to help the Girl Scouts raise money, but I can’t be in the same room with Thin Mints or Tagalongs without devouring them immediately. The compromise was to buy a couple of boxes from a co-worker and dispatch them to the break room, pronto, before they damaged my thighs.
I still managed to stuff FIVE cookies in my mouth before foisting them on the office. To my relief, most of them were gone by the time I got to work the next morning. Now the Girl Scouts are a little richer and my butt is no bigger than it was on Monday. It’s a happy ending for all (so to speak).
