Morning Shady...<BR>
<BR>
        So far as the age thing is concerned dear, you mistake me. I am very happy being the age I am---and wouldn't turn back the clock for anything. My 20's were horrid---my 30's have been pretty cool---but been there, done that. I happen to be a scream, a stitch, and while reasonably "mature and responsible" in my real life, have never forgotten what it felt like the first time a saw a shooting star---or the first time I was kissed by someone I was dying to be kissed by. Still chase fireflies in the grass in June---still think color tv is half magic----<BR>
<BR>
but always I will believe that love is the best magic of all.   And I can too embarass you ib public, little britches!<BR>
<BR>

Gala - you are a lucky woman to have kept so much magic in your life. :-) Yeah, you probably could embarrass me. Hell, my cheeks tturn red at the drop of a dime...I'm continually rosy...hehe. Right Dee? I like to call it a healthy glow...;-)<BR>

Cudos on the new Blender Board format.  It's great!  Load time is so much faster.  And what with the fast food society that we live in today, faster is always better, ey?<BR>

Sleet and freezing rain in D.C. today, yuck!

Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Your wish came true! I got a head start on Wednesday night...partied so hard I had to call in sick the next day! Tried to talk my newest friend into taking me to Mexico but he's a straightlaced Capricorn engineer. Found myself at IHOP, instead, eating these nightmare-inducing blueberry pancakes. Then last night we hung out at Jack London's, the karaoke bar of all karaoake bars. I wanted to sing the "Three's Company" theme song but my friend reminded me that it's a duet, so I sang "Upside Down" by Diana Ross.<BR>
***Angel, where have you been? Glad to see you're still alive!<BR>
***Andy, thank you. I got lost this morning and found myself surrounded by Yuppie morning traffic. Very unpleasant! Then I looked at the clouds and just knew a tornado was gonna swirl down and carry my ass off to Oz. Anyway, I'm still alive and still hung over. And I had to have TWO quarts of oil put in my truck!!! I'm going to run on over to Yahoo now and research the cost of living in San Francisco. Hope work doesn't suck today!

Dee - uhoh...secrets? When do I ever uncover anything about myself anyways...still working on that lock...:-)<BR>
<BR>
Misti - girl, I would have LOVED to see you sing Karaoke...:-) Too funny! My song of choice assuming I grew those some _____, would be "Me and My Bobby McGee" hehehe...cliche maybe, but, I love it...

    The first karaoke experience I ever had was on the anniversary of John Lennon's birthday back in 1998...I sang "Piece of My Heart" and shook my head around like Janis Joplin and scared people! This happened after many beers, Jack and Cokes and tequila shots!!! I have the tape of her greatest hits but I still haven't heard "Me and Bobby Magee." My DREAM karaoke song is "Brand New Key."<BR>
..."I got a brand new pair of roller skates/You got a brand new key!" It was terribly exploited in "Boogie Nights."

My first time to submit something...something went wrong, I accidentally hit the enter key. SO, if you read the first submission it will be blank because it was a mistake. I'm sorry.
