Happy Birthday...to my brother!!!!

Yes, my brother & I have birthdays that close together! As the story goes I came home from the hospital on his birthday. Let's just say he probably was not too thrilled with that birthday gift. And so began the years of coordinating birthday parties and having to share birthday celebrations (like tonight - though tonight was my idea!!)

On another note, my brother went to court today for more legal issues with the psycho be-otch from you-know-where. I do not know what is wrong with our legal system but it SUCKS!!! This woman gets away with EVERYTHING!! I just...don't...get...it. Sigh......But at least she actually showed up with the kids tonight. If I knew I could get away with it, I think I would hunt her down and make sure she was never seen or heard from again (to put it nicely!!!)

So I have birthday money burning a whole in my pocket!! Oh, what to do, what to do! I want new shoes, but I also want scrapbooking stuff. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it seems like so much now but I know that it will all disappear quite quickly.

Okay, I really must get off of the computer as I do have some scrapbooking I need to get done before Saturday!!

Happy Birthday to me!!

So I turned 21 today!! And because of this darn snow I wasn't able to go out drinking! Oh well...I feel like I may have already turned 21 years ago anyway :) Okay, okay!! I turned 32!!! YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here are some interesting tidbits for ya:
* More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month. The two other months in which birthday rates are high is July and September.
* Close to two billion Birthday Cards are sent each year in the U.S. alone, accounting for nearly 58 percent of all cards sent.

* The world's largest birthday cake was created in 1989 it weighed 128,238 pounds, 8 oz. and used 16,209 pounds of icing.

* The most common birth date is October 5 and the least common is May 22 in U.S.A.
* Paul McCartney's Birth Certificate was auctioned in March 1997, for US $84,146. It is believed to be the world's most expensive Birth Certificate.

And on that note...I am off to scrapbook!!!!

Toothpaste Poisonous?!?!?!?!

Okay, so I was brushing my teeth last night. It was whitening toothpaste so I decided to read the back to see if there were any specific instructions. Well guess what......I found out that if you swallow large amounts of toothpaste that you should call Poison control. WHAT!?!?!?!? That is it!!! No more brushing teeth for me!!!! LORD-Y!!!

So I took today off....I decided I needed a de-stress day. It started off pretty well. I found the outfit I wanted to wear right away. I thought...oooh, this day is just falling in to place!! Well that quickly changed! I dropped Shelby off at preschool and she had issues. I think it was because I dropped her off later and most of the preschool kids were already there. And of course when we got there they were all like "SHELBY'S HERE!!" Well she started bawling and reaching for me. It was AWFUL! So I get in the car and reach to get my cell phone. It was in my purse....which was sitting at home by the door!!!! This would have been fine except that I was scheduled to get a manicure at 9:15!! It was around 9:03...and it takes me about 10 minutes to get from downtown Duvall to our house!!! Sigh......But luckily the rest of the morning was uneventful, besides getting stuck behind slow cars and buses!! And my nails are all pretty!!!



So that is all from me right now....I should be scrapbooking as that was my intentions today once I got home. I'd rather be scrapbooking but I just can't get off of the computer!!!!!! :)
