I'm a day late with the Card of the Week this week, but I'm my own boss and I do what I want.  So don't write in and tell me how let down you were yesterday when a new card wasn't posted. (Actually, I would really love a little hate mail… just to know you care.)

This week's card has a bit of back story.  When I was a kid celebrating one of my single-digit birthdays (I can't remember which one exactly, but I was definitely under 10), my family had a party at my aunts house.  When cake time came, my family burst into the "Happy birthday" song as they brought out the cake.  Only instead of singing it the normal way, they sang…

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

You look like a monkey.

And you smell like one too.

It broke my heart.  I burst into tears.

I'm certain that it was that very moment that my hatred for the "Happy birthday" song began (and probably my underlining motivation for making super awesome sarcastic birthday cards).

And that pretty well sums up how I came up with this card.  If you'd like to buy THE CARD OF THE WEEK, CLICK HERE.

My aunt Diane, the one that hosted said birthday party, has been a huge influence in my sense of humour.  She's sassy, hilarious and super sarcastic.  Come to think of it, I wouldn't be surprised if she was the one behind the whole monkey song!  Anyway, a couple years ago she found the most perfect birthday card for me (besides any one of my own of course).  I mean come on – it's perfect!  This is how I hope my cards are for other people… I hope they just hit the nail on the head so perfectly that you keep the card around in your desk drawer.
