a very happy birthday

Well, as it turns out, today is my birthday. Also as it turns out, it is probably one of the funnest birthdays I have had. I owe this mostly to the fun people in my life who determined to make it happy for me.

My kid did me up proud with lots of remembrances and a boxed Johhny Cash cd set that made me happy and a little teary eyed. She had seen me lust over it while proclaiming it too expensive to be had. Well, now I has it! Go ME!

My friend Peggy (who reminded me that although I might not be "over the hill" yet I was still high enough to get nose bleeds) sent out the word to everyone we even know remotely and I was flooded with cards, emails a birthday serenade from a group all at once, and I have found myself grinning and on a couple occasions I have absolutely burst out loud laughing.

My sister remembered me with a beautiful card and a smells so good candle (i love candles). Mom is taking me out to dinner tomorrow...

And there is the greetings from my 2 brothers. Man, I have been howdied and happy birthdayed to beat the band.

So, there... I'm having one.

Thanks everyone... and tra la la... happy birthday to me. I'm having a great time.
