Okay, I sent in my answers. I hope I did it right (under the influence of insomnia), that really was fun to do. LOL - maybe I’ll do it again. *g*

Happy Birthday Goddesses! I enjoy my visits here more than checking out what is happening with my kids on myspace. Now I have to go to sleep. Good night!
Karen Hawkins on 12 Feb 2008 at 7:08 am #
And HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all of you guys, too! It’s your site, too!
Best of luck! (Btw, those magical tiaras are KICKER! I have one that I wear while doing the laundry and oh yes, it makes it go MUCH faster!)

I just wanted to thank all of you for making this such a fun place to hang out. We have the nicest, funniest people in the internet galaxy spending time here on Mt. Oly. I’m so glad to be a part of it!
Happy Birthday to all of us!
Karen Hawkins on 12 Feb 2008 at 11:19 am #
Hear, hear! I agree (about both this being the greatest place to hang AND the dew skin!)!!!!
It’s been an incredible year. You know it’s a great place when an entire year seems like oh, a few days. At most.
Sabrina Jeffries on 12 Feb 2008 at 11:34 am #
What a fabulous year it’s been! Happy anniversary, everyone. Your cyber-chocolates and Valentines are in the mail!
Crystal B. on 12 Feb 2008 at 11:38 am #
Happy anniversary Goddesses!
Lisa H on 12 Feb 2008 at 12:25 pm #
Happy Anniversary Goddesses! Thanks for all the laughs, the FRO’s, the writing advice, and the Awesome books you produce! I hope this is the start of many years of blogging!

Happy Anniversary Goddesses!!! Silly people, Goddesses don’t HAVE birthdays as they NEVER age!! They are all lovely, nubile ladies of 21, didn’t you know that? Thus the dewy skin!
Seriously, ladies, this spot had been a life and sanity saver for me more times than I can count. Everyone is so sweet, friendly, supportive and most important - FUNNY AS THE DAY IS LONG! I raise my glass of Milo’s tea to many, many years of laughter, stories and FROS!!
To the Goddesses themselves, thank you so much for your incredible talent and your marvelous tales that take me away from the world of work and bills and broken toilets to worlds of glitter, history, romance, suspense, fright (that’s you KR) adventure, comedy, real life plus and pure delight!
Suzanne Enoch on 12 Feb 2008 at 1:09 pm #
Sorry I’m late — I was moisturizing my dewy skin. *g*
I’m raising a can of diet Dr Pepper in tribute to all the goddesses who come to recline on the fluffy couches and share chocolate and stories at Mt. Olympus. Hurray for all of us!
ArkansasCyndi on 12 Feb 2008 at 1:11 pm #
I just read TANGLED UP IN YOU a couple of weeks ago. What a fun book!
Great contest. I may have to give this a shot!
amy1242 on 12 Feb 2008 at 1:23 pm #
Happy Anniversary Everyone! I love spending part of my day with all of you lady’s, even on the days I don’t comment on anything (I’m shy). I love to hear what you have to say and laugh along with you (and cry sometimes too). Thanks for always being there!
Kim on 12 Feb 2008 at 1:24 pm #
Happy Birthday everyone!!! What a great and wonderful community we have! Good luck to everyone. The tiaras are just gorgeous!
Mia Rose on 12 Feb 2008 at 1:26 pm #
Can I just say that all of you Goddesses sure know how to celebrate
(as if there was any doubt)…
Seriously, what can be better than being surrounded by great people, great guests, fun and games, cyber cheers of drinks and lots and lots of laughs.
I haven’t been around for the entire year unfortunately, (I guess I was hiding under Nevada’s sagebrush) but I have to say thanks to EVERYONE for the time I have spent discovering this wonderful Mt. and the laughs that thundered from it.
*CHEERS GIRLS!*
And Congrats…

Since joining Mt. Oly, I have learned several things. Since I just got done with lunch, and I feel the need to extend the break, I shall share.
1. Always log in on Sunday - it starts the week out right.
2. Speak your mind. Nobody else can say it quite like you.
3. Goddesses are people too (figuratively speaking of course)
4. PMP, FROS, SIL, DH, MIL and several other acronyms actually have meanings. (took me a while to figure all of them out as a newbie)
5. Bringing up food to this particular group of ladies should come with a warning “proceed at your own risk” (Ask SEP - also an acronym that means something lol)
6. I have a long lost sister named Ellen and I’m not sure how I made it this far without her
7. the “dark” time between Kari and I will now forever be known as The Great Lawn Debacle
8. I am truly blessed to be a part of a community of such talented and amazing women. Thank you for sharing your time, writing, joy and sorrows with us all. Here’s to another great year!!!

Happy Birthday Goddesses! May you have TABs and spots on the NYT all around!
Meg on 12 Feb 2008 at 3:53 pm #
Has it really been a whole year?! Wow. Happy Birthday and thanks for all the fun!
Paula on 12 Feb 2008 at 4:30 pm #
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GODDESSESS!!!
I haven’t been around for the whole year even though it seems like it.
This and the Forum are such fantastic sites and this is such a good place to start the week with the FROS. Thank you for all the hard work that you have put into it , It is a good pick me up anytime but epecially after really bad days at work and at home.
Thank you for brightening up my life and for all the laughs I’ve had and long may it continue.
PS I’ve entered the contest and I’ve got my fingers crossed as I’ve never won any competitons that I’ve entered.

Happy Birthday, Goddesses. Will the champagne be flowing all week?
Freshechelle on 12 Feb 2008 at 6:46 pm #
mmm, Champagne….I could use a magnum of it right about now.

Happy Birthday, Goddesses. Will the champagne be flowing all week?
Yes, indeed, Jane! Some of us Goddesses are partial to margueritas, but we’ll have cyber champagne and chocolate, too. Wish it could be the real thing! You’d think that with goddess powers we could wave a wand or something and make chocolate materialize. I suppose it’s good that we can’t or we would all weigh a ton, lol.
Kim on 12 Feb 2008 at 7:28 pm #
Jane–yup, this is a week long par-tay! All the champagne, ‘ritas, chocolate, etc that you could want. Don’t the lovely FROS guys look magnificient in their waiter uniforms?
Lismore on 12 Feb 2008 at 7:38 pm #
Happy Birthday Goddesses!!
So glad I found this website. The wit and intelligence of the Goddesses and all the “commenters”, always brightens my day.
Off to work on the scavenger hunt………
