This month’s Perfect Post Award is going to a very dear friend of mine. The post she wrote touched my heart because she is dealing with a true, real-life, frightening illness- and she is willing to share that experience with her readers. Please go visit my friend Jenn from The I’mPerfect Mom, and help support her through this process of healing. Read her post “You, Madam, are one diseased lady.” And go visit the other winners at Suburban Turmoil.

Tomorrow is my BIRTHDAY! That’s right, I share my special day with that sciophobic groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil.

And also Shakira.

I can’t remember if I’ve ever divulged my age on this blog before, but I don’t think I have. So I thought it would be fun to do a little guessing game! Everyone gets one guess with one number, and the first person to get it right gets a personalized Monk-e-Mail from me (so make sure you comment with a valid email address!). And if you already know because I’ve told you or you know me in person, you don’t get to guess. Cuz that’s how I roll, baby.

I will also send a Hallmark e-card to the person who gives me the best reason for why they guessed their number. Kind of a runner-up prize. And I promise, telling me you think I’m 10 years old because my boobs are so small ain’t gonna get you anywhere.

Bring it on! How old do you think I will be tomorrow?
