HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!
Today is a very special day in the jungle. It’s Julie Leto’s *actual* birthday! (Actually, I think she’s having a birthday week! :d) Whoo-hoo! Happy Birthday Julie! We love you and hope you have a super-duper day filled with fun, awesome gifts, and great food!
In celebration of her birthday, I thought it would be fun if we all gave Julie some cyber-gifts. The kind that are amusing, calorie-free, and won’t get her drunk or in real trouble! (Oh, darn! 
) A fun fantasy where you can be as wild and creative as your mind can get. So, use your imagination and let’s have some fun on Julie’s birthday!
Here’s my personal cyber birthday gift to Julie. Four hunky, gorgeous pool boys at her beck and call all day long. One to deliver all the mojitos her heart desires, another to feed her fruit, chocolate, and birthday cake, another to massage suntan lotion all over her body (as many times as needed!) so she doesn’t get a sunburn, and another to spray a steady mist of water on her so she keeps cool. Now, if Julie has other . . . ummm . . . DUTIES she might want to assign to one of those pool boys (other than what I’ve already assigned them), then she’ll have to let us know what she has in mind so we can enjoy the fantasy, too!
So, what kind of cyber-gift would you like to give Julie for her birthday?
Well I can’t top those pool boys! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you happy happy things, your treadmill, a big surprise gift from your hubby and Mojitos all day long. XXXOOO

Hey Julie, I’m sending you a time-freeze machine that will allow you to take a few previous hours from your busy day to read and finish a book, enjoy your birthday dessert have those mojitos, get a manicure, and of course also allow you to enjoy those pool boys. But I want my machine back LOL.
Happy birthday Julie! (^) (note) (p) (w)

I mean a few “precious” hours - duh! Here, just have it for the whole day!

Happy happy birthday Julie!!!
First, can I borrow your time freeze machine? What a great gift! (The guys ain’t bad, either.
8) )
As for what I give you…another kind of time machine, different from Stacy’s. One that would let you travel back and visit yourself on other birthdays of your life, so you can see familiar faces of those you love, watch yourself grow up, glimpse the princess as a baby again. Remember what it was like to be a teenager–which will make you that much more glad you’re in your forties!!
Just a ride back through time to take stock at this (roughly) halfway point as you look forward to the next 41.
Again happy birthday babe!

Feliz Cumpleaños Julie! I hope you have a fun-filled day with lots of birthday love! My cyber gift to you is a long, luxurious trip around the world, romance style! May you travel first class to every exotic, romatic beautiful location your heart desires! A trip that of course will in no way impact your deadlines and busy days writing! LOL

Happy Birthday Too You (note) As for awesome cyber-gifts…hmmm….pool boys look scrumptious, but how about a house full of domestic help so that you may ..ahem…enjoy your gift from Janelle?! Thaa and we are changing your name to words the Kids aren’t allowed to say so that you get NO interruptions? Anyway, have a wonderful day(and take notes…can you say a next Blaze Book?!?!)

Happy Birthday! My gift is the NYT bestseller “The Care and Feeding of Pool Boys.” Please pay particular attention to advice from Chapter 32, “Apply Sunscreen to Pool Boys Early and Often, Making Sure to Massage Into Abs and Shoulders at 15 Minute Intervals.” And Chapter 12, “A Limber Pool Boy Is A Happy Pool Boy: Deep-tissue Massage Techniques To Keep Your Pool Boy Flexie.” Remember, pool boys are a big responsibility. Care for them properly, and they’ll provide you enjoyment well into their mid-twenties.

Happy Birthday, Julie!!!!! I can’t top those pool boys. Can you send them to me, next??? LOL.
I am really enjoying your book in “A Fare To Remember”. What a fun book!

(note) I already sang to you over at Access Romance so I’ll spare you a repeat! (note)
Many happy returns of the day! (^)
My cyber gift is a magical remote, like the one Adam Sandler has in Click! Only this one works perfectly all the time and has no negative drawbacks. That way you can fast-forward thru bad times, rewind good times, and freeze those moments you wish would last forever….
Cheers!! (d)

:o Oh. My. Word! A cyber birthday party just for little ole me??! Janelle, you are too wonderful! The pool boys are amazing. I promise to take them with me to my mother’s house…she actually has a pool.
I want you all to know I just got home from a fabulous lunch with my sister in law, where I had the most AMAZING mango mojito! Monkeys, I think we just found our next drink. The bartender gave me the recipe!
(d) (d) (d) I’m sending each of you your favorite libation in thanks. I will soon be soaking in all the cyber Jacuzzis, enjoying the massages and other wonderful gifts you have all sent me!
Oh, and I decided on the three-layer chocolate cake from Wright’s Gourmet bakery. :p
What a wonderful way to spend my day. I can’t thank you all enough!!!

It is really hard to top the pool boys.

I was looking through a spa catalog and they have a chocolate facial and herbal wrap…maybe if you have a pool boy put them on that would be the perfect gift! 8)

Here’s to a bottomless mojito and calorie-free chocolate birthday cake!
