Happy Birthday to the bestest friend and boyfriend a dame could ever have. And even though we spent our wedding anniversay last month out to dinner with my first darling husband — and we had both forgotten that it even was our wedding anniversary until well after the meal — I still consider us the most romantic couple around. Fuck the Captain and Tennille’s cloying version of the song — it’s holding hands and belly laughing whilst watching “Space Ghost Coast to Coast” that will keep us together.
My life with you is amazing and brilliant and fun — and it gets better and more interesting every day…and I can’t imagine wanting to be anywhere else in the world more than I want to be with you. I love you.
Happy Birthday, Gregory.
About muffybolding
Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
