Thanks again.
I can see that between the offer on my cake and the feathers on my crown that this is going to be a fun day.
To: Bella_Bru

Thanks Bella!
I usually try to keep a low profile on my birthday but I see that isn't going to be allowed today.
To: SeaDragon
That is the best offer I have had all day. What a coincidence!! That was the best offer I've made all day!

Thank you CJ, I tried to look my best today.

Well she's at home in the kitchen. I am hoping that little baby gate holds, or I could find her on the couch sipping brandy and smoking a cigarette, laughing at me. LOL

You've got that right. That was a disgusting display.

You and me both, but that doesn't count for homework. LOL

You are on the Roll Call! I am ... well .. I am mostly positive of it.
I will double check when I get home, but I thought I had you on the list. You don't suppose I am calling someone to class who really doesn't want to be here, do you?! Oh dear.
