So I had my 38th yesterday.

And what does Lady Chance and the Chancelings get me?

1. A case of Diet Coke.
2. A bottle of Lemon juice. (Note: Diet Coke with Lemon has mysteriously disappeared locally)
3. Season 1 and 2 of ‘Land of the Lost’ on DVD!
4. **A LAVA LAMP SET!**

Is that love or what?

That’s True Love, alright. 😉

Please describe the Lava Lamps, what color is the Lava?., they are the epitome of cool in Unclviny’s world and I just want to live vicariously through you for a while.

Unclviny (who sadly is Lava Lampless right now)

Happy belated birthday, **JC**!

While familiar with lava lamps, I’m intrigued by this “Lava Lamp Set.” What makes it a set? More than one? Various sizes? Inquiring minds want to know!

Two lamps.

One your traditional ‘lava’ lamp and one with glitter in oil that twinkles prettily. Apparently they’re sold as a set these days.

The lava lamp is right next to me on my desk doing it’s thing.

Thanks to all (especially Bill) for the good wishes!

I’m glad nobody shows _me_ that sort of love, but whatever works for you guys!

Liar liar, pants on fire. I bet you went to eBay and tried to get yourself some lava lamps with glitter, anticipating putting on some Steppenwolf, Procol Harum and Cream to have a ‘retro moment’. 😉

Dude, lava lamps are transcendent.

I’m listening to the Gin Blossoms and Jill Sobule with one on.

Remember, you can see a picture of my lava lamp in the ‘What’s on your desk?’ thread!
