Thank you very much for these birthday wishes, although I'm very embarrassed that this thread was started. I really don't deserve it and I don't like calling attention to myself this way. I thought long and hard before even posting the cancer thread.

That being said....it's out now, so let's bring out the slushie mixer, turn on the music and dance.

Tomorrow I'll be out all day so if you want to catch me it will have be to be either before 10am or after 6pm PST (hint hint to Gini and Laurie ). My two nieces are in town and my Mom and I are going over there for brunch. I've stipulated that this is NOT a birthday brunch....just a get together. I need to talk to them about Christmas too. This year I'm going to request that they send a small donation to the Cancer Society instead of buying gifts. I really hope they go for it.

I've received some beautiful cards in the mail and I owe many of you an email. I promise I will get to that tonight. On Thursday night my dear neighbour gave me a huge fruit basket.

You guys rock....now let's get this partee started!
