HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EOD!

Here's a little present from Arizona!

EOD will just love it, xs!

[xsmommy]

ooooooeeeeeeeeee, when slippy breaks out that sparkly stuff, we know it is a special occasion!

[Gabz]

I have often paged deep into google, just for the fun of it........some stuff is really hilarious!!!

[xsmommy]

sheesh, i am getting tired of waiting for EOD to get here for his own party....

[Gabz]

Too much sparkle, too early in the morning.........but I like the cactuses (or is that cacti?)

[Gabz]

Well you have to admit, we did start a tad bit early..........

Been an insomniac all of my life. There are way too many interesting things happening for me to sleep.

This is some kind of genetic trait. Most of my family has it, too. I will take a little snooze when Cyber is off to work and the 'bot is off to school. I think I worry about them getting up on time. Once they've got their shirts tucked in and are ready to go, I feel a lot better.

Then I have to peruse the Sports section and the Financial Section of the newspaper. I get all of the Front Page stuff here.

I dress rehearsaled the green sparklies. They were supposed to go alllllllll the way across the top and bottom. So much for my HTML skills.

Plural is cacti. I still make the mistake of saying "cactuses," though. It just comes naturally.

Those darned pesky Greeks really blew it for us in the plural department.

[Gabz]

I get all of the Front Page stuff here.

Thank goodness for FR....the local paper here only comes out on Wednesday and Saturday.

Daily papers are either from Maryland or Virginia Beach or Norfolk.

[xsmommy]

Me, too, about the digging through the internet.

Here's a Birthday Card for EOD!
