Oh, boy! Today I hit the big 4-0! If I stretch up on my tippy toes, I can now get a glimpse of the other side of that hill Iโ€™m heading over! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I donโ€™t have any real plans for today (OK, except for that big pan of brownies Iโ€™m making later), but I rang in my birthday last night at the karaoke club. That was fun! And my kids greeted my with a big โ€œHappy Birthdayโ€ as soon as they got up. Oh, and I got a gift from one of my younger sisters yesterday. She sent me one of those โ€œstress reliefโ€ squeeze ballsโ€“and they are literally squeeze BALLS. The thing is in the shape of a scrotum. :eek: I just about died laughing when I saw it! Anyway, happy birthday to me, and to any fellow dopers who celebrate today! ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™‚ ---

Thanks, guys! Itโ€™s been a pretty good day so far! Still have to make those brownies, thoughโ€“as if I really _needed_ an excuse for chocolate! But today, at least, I can have them without the side order of guilt! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ---
