Party on, people! :party:

The kids are on Spring Break this whole week. They're actually still in bed, at 9:15am. :D

I'm going for a 2 hr birthday bike ride with my friend at 10am and then she's taking me out for lunch.

Tonight we're having a nice birthday dinner out with the family, including my Mom.

I want to get her a gardenia corsage, to thank her for giving me the gift of Life. :loveya:

Life is great, so let's enjoy it!!

Happy Spring, everyone! :toast: In the dark times of today's world, it's good to remember the sun is always shining somewhere.

Happy birthday too!

What a great idea to give your mother a corsage for your birthday.

[Shine]

33. Thanks, Gormy Cuss! I had a great bike ride!

but the gardenia corsage plan hasn't worked out so well---none of the flower shops seems to have them in stock--so I'm going with a fragrant white lilac corsage, instead. :thumbsup: I think she'll be surprised. I'll pick it up in about an hour.

81. Yuppers - 44 is a significant number for me

My grandmother on my mom's side died at age 43, so I am waiting to exhale until the 7th, so to speak. She died of Malignant Melanoma.

[Shine]

85. That is so weird, we have yet ANOTHER thing in common:

my grandmother on my mom's side also died of malignant melanoma...except she was 79 when she died.

Get this, by the time they discovered it, it had spread from skin, to liver, to bone. They told her it had advanced throughout her body and she died within SEVEN HOURS of being told her diagnosis! Wow!

Anyway, I'm sorry your grandma died at such a young age. :hug: Keep wearin' that sunscreen!

[KitchenWitch]

91. I never got to meet my grandma, she died four years before I was born

:cry:

I always wear sunscreen.

[mdmc]

65. YES

happy birthday!:hi:

[Shine]

79. Thanks, mdmc!
