Hey gang,

Okay, I’ve noticed that everyone seems pretty bummed out tonight. To start, hugs to **Nacho4Sara** and **hypergirl**. I they deserve a good un-birthday party today. I don’t want presents, just attendance. Get in here, cut a slice of cake, and party with a happy thread this week. . .

Well, Happy Early Birthday, Trip! I brought you a virtual six pack. Figured it was the only thing you’d REALLY want anyway.

I’ve arrived!

I promise not to get drunk and make out with Tripler, Falc sweetie!

And just so ya’ll know, I got your e-mails and appreciate them dearly. Not to get overly sentimental, but you guys and the kindness you’re so willing to share are what keep me come back here every day. Thank you so much! Right now I’m okay, but in a few days I might be ringing you. I plan on responding to each e-mail personally, but right now I’m trying to drag my ass to bed since I have to be up at 6:30.

Maybe we can stay up all night drinking! Woo hoo! 2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate? TEQUILA!

For your birthday, Trip, I’m gonna have Falc burst out of a birthday cake! Shh, it’s a secret. 😉

Well, my grandma will be 82 tomorrow and just got an email account, and my brother will be 22 on the 23rd and I miss them both (they’re back East) so I’m throwing in mention of them here! Too bad they don’t read the SD. Actually wait, it might be a Good Thing that they don’t. 😉
