Neato! I’ll bring the pig so you can blow it again. 😃

Oh yeah, sure. Just so you can suck the life right out of her again? I don’t think so. All I’ll have to do is tell **tater** about your evil scheme and she’ll be blowing _ **you** _ up.

Oh wait. You might actually like that. Nevermind.

You are an absolute hoot and I so very much enjoyed meeting you while on my trip to L.A. I’m just sorry I missed out on the free concert outside of the Cheesecake Factory, but someone had to keep Banana company.

Sedate or sedated? Sedated would explain why you were the _first_ person to pass out after dinner. 😃 Yeah, I know - You were at work at 5:00 a.m. ::shiver:: that morning.

I don’t know about her, but I was feeling the effects of the French Martini. What was the other name for it? Something nipple?

Oh and to Shayna…THANK YOU so much for being a good hostess during my trip to L.A. I had a great time and am honored to have such a dear, sweet friend. You’re the best babe. It is babe, isn’t it?

That’s what I keep telling myself, too. I was embarrassed by that, but, hey, I remember looking over a couple of times and you definitely had _your_ eyes closed! 😃

Purple hooter. And they definitely packed a punch! What a night!

This time in English:

_Happy birthday to you!  
Happy birthday to you!  
Happy birthday dear **Shayna**!  
Happy birthday to you!_

😃

PS: 40 is still just a baby (or so I imagine, being about 5 years short of that myself, and still behaving pretty infantile!)
