Whoa I did it. I reached double digits on this daily blog. To make it even more exciting day #10 fell on my birthday.
So what did I do? Well pretty much what you would expect. I was in Ocean City at Our Lady of Good Council helping my friend run the "Bows for Any Occasion Booth" at the kids fair. Please I want to be at the Wii challenge center next year or even the putt putt station. But bows seriously? The best part of this event was that it got me out of a Zumba class my other friend has just been certified to teach. Because there is no way that I am going to exercise on my birthday. How could she even ask. I may unfriend her.
Then it was off to the Marc Berman Show on WOND 1400 AM to promote my gig at Stockton College on Thursday. Thanks Ed Hitzel for the leftover pizza and Marc Berman for letting me hang out the whole show. Thanks every one for controlling the paparazzi. You did such a great job I didn't even see anybody.
Finally, off to a young group of friends of mine for chili and Card Against Humanity. I love my twenty-something friends. They keep me young…and up on pop culture. And I'm sure after a few more lessons I will indeed understand what Twitter is. Really a typical day in the life. Clearly Forrest Gump was talking about my life when he gave that box-a-chocolates speech.
But what I pride myself in is having fun wherever I am. Would I have rather slept in this morning than explain to a nun how Sister Zoe taught me to remember the twelve apostles by using the word baptism as a mnemonic in the second grade? Sure. But the friend I helped also drove me to the airport at 6 in the morning over the summer. And we had a ton of laughs. And I have a stunning new hair bow with an owl motif.
The radio show? There's not a thing in the world that I would rather be doing on any day of the year than performing. I once played Gloria Upson in a production of Auntie Mame with a 102 fever! The flippin' show must go on pal.
As far as Cards Against Humanity goes: "If you can't handle (black card) Moses gargling Jesus' balls while Shiva and the Buddha penetrate his divine hand holes. (white card), then you better stay away from (black card) Cards Against Humanity. (white Card)"
Good Night Everybody. And thanks for all the birthday gifts, the gift of your friendship, and all the well wishes.
Love,

Michelle Tomko's comedy is a fervent blend of tomboy sensibilities courtesy of the older brothers she grew up with in the Midwest and the barrage of perimenopausal chaos the East Coast world has heaped upon her. She pulls her humor from everyday observations and classic stories of family, travel, pets, and adversity. With razor-sharp crowd work and improvisational skills to the rock-solid timing of a veteran performer, Michelle’s act is not to be missed!
