I need 2008 to slow down so I can catch up. I still haven't managed a Christmas "thank-you" post (it will be coming), and I didn't even have a "Happy New Year" icon this year, let alone do a New Year's post. And we won't even mention the 2007 50-book challenge right now...

But all that can wait. I missed the first birthday of the year, and that needs correcting before anything else. So, greedy_dancer, Desi (*points to icon*) and I just want to say

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
