So today is my birthday, and below are my Top 10 creative excuses for taking the day off from blogging:

10. There are so many candles on my cake, the cafe has become a fire hazard.

9. Thirty-nine trips around the sun makes a man tired.

8. I’m waiting patiently by the mailbox for your gifts to arrive.

7. I never drink and post.

6. I keep getting frosting on the keyboard.

5. The clown will be here any second.

4. No internet access at the brothel.

3. It’s hard to blog and dance at the same time.

2. Here are the keys to the cafe. Hang out as long as you like, lock up when you’re done.

…And my number one creative excuse for not blogging today?…

1. I didn’t think you’d want me to blog in my birthday suit!

[We will return to our regularly scheduled inspiring posts soon enough. Until then, thank you all for being part of this cafe. It’s the best gift you could give me - your time, attention, feedback, and appreciation. Thank you!]

    So what you’re saying is, you are dancing in your birthday suit, patiently waiting by your mailbox, while having a drink with a clown, and then you’re headed to the brothel to eat frosting?

    Good idea, give us the keys :lol:
