The Spin Cycle this week is all about birthdays and anniversaries.This morning I read over at Vodka Mom's that she will be turning 50 this week.
Vodka Mom is beloved by multitudes and deservedly so.
She is an awesome kindergarten teacher who shares stories from her classroom with her readers.
She is a generous blogger with a big heart. When I emailed her last year and asked if if I could steal her idea of a blog post where she was a fly on the kindergarten wall- just changing the parameters to my own class - she encouraged me with gusto.
And let's face it. She is hilarious and she makes me laugh, often when I am hanging by a thread.
My spin on birthdays is to encourage everyone to drink a martini and toast to Vodka's 50th.Like a big blogger block party.
Happy 50th Vodka Mom!! It's not so bad on this side of 50; so nice of you to join us.For more spins on birthdays and anniversaries, head on over to Sprite's Keeper's.
She's fantastic, isn't she? Happy 50th to a terrific lady!
ReplyDeleteHappy 50th Vodka Mom! I'll drink a vodka tonic in honor of your special day!
ReplyDeleteThis was very sweet of you to pay tribute to her on her 50th. Now pass the cake.
ReplyDeleteOhhh cake. I think I need to add another photo... or go eat some.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. . . Vodka Mom!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't think of a nicer toast. But someone will have to bring the chilled vodka over here, as I'm now back in the alcohol free village. Unless you count the hooch the locals made and which killed my bathroom wallah.
ReplyDeleteI left a treat for you at my place. Stop in an pick it up when you are done grading papers!
ReplyDeleteAw, happy birthday VM! Nice post, Pseudo!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Vodka Mom. Happy Birthday to Vodka Mom. Hap--py Birth--day, dear Vodka Mom. Happy Birthday to Vodka Mom.
ReplyDeleteI wrote that myself. It should be sang to the tune of Happy Birthday to you.
Happy 50th Vodka Mom!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I like Martinis. Wine will have to do.
*clink*
You are so nice to do this post for her; I think you're just as good a "bloggy friend!"
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Vodka Mom!
hey pseudo. that dennis comment was actually me. gotta check and see who is signed on before I go and comment.
ReplyDeleteGreat tribute Pseudo! And I love martinis so 'clink, clink'!
ReplyDeleteAlready told VM HBirthday on her blog, but I guess it bears repeating, although I refuse to sing like Beth!
Happy Birthday VM!
Now THAT I will drink to! Having met Vodka, (I KNOW!!!) she is absolutely the sweetest person you can imagine, and it will always be five o'clock for her on my site. What a lovely tribute, you're linked!

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to VM. I'll have to pass on the martini, but I will have some cake in her honor instead.
ReplyDeleteHave I ever mentioned what a sweetheart you are?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, VodkaMom. I shall raise a virtual (and perhaps actual) martini to you this evening.
Aww, what a nice tribute from a good friend! Happy birthday, VM!
ReplyDeleteHow nice of you. I hope she had a wonderful Birthday.
ReplyDeleteVery nice of you. I had an awesome time guest posting with her last weekend. She's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice tribute to VodkaMom! Happy 50th VM! We love you! You too Pseudo!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't vodka get better with age???
ReplyDeletePerfect timing. I should be able to drink by then! And what a good way to get back into the swing of things. Great tribute.
ReplyDeleteYou'd never know she's 50. You all look great for your age (expecially on a blog!)
you are such an incredible person. YOU are the one we should all be toasting.
ReplyDeleteYet I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This community has lifted me more than they (and you) will ever know.
Again, i thank you. Now where's my damn drink???
