Yep, 36 years ago today I was born. I guess it’s true, after you hit 21 the birthdays don’t seem to matter any more. I actually forgot it was my birthday until I kissed Ivylad goodbye this morning and he wished me Happy Birthday. Anyway, I’m at work, my candy dish is full of Hershey miniatures (because it’s Friday. The rest of the week it’s full of Jolly Ranchers) and I need to start entering orders. In other words, a rather normal boring day. ---

Happy B-day! You share the day with my daughter - and today you’re twice her age! _\_ Got any mini Mr. Goodbars in there?? ---

You know, and don’t really tell anyone else this, but in my experience women who are 36 are just about the most beautiful, lovely things on the planet. But that’s just me. Happy Birthday **ivylass**! ---

Acutally, yes, I do have some mini Mr. Goodbars, as well as Krackels, and the milk and dark chocolates. And **Shibb** , quit, you’re making me blush. :o ---
