I am on the 31st, 1973 so I will be 31. I plan to have very little drama surrounding the event this year. ---

Must pop in to wish **Obsidian** a very happy birthday today, the first. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say how old she is but it is her first birthday on the Dope, I believe. ---

Ivygirl will be 12 on the 5th. 1. 12! Where did the time go? I had the talk with her last night…about the importance of carrying a purse with you at all times. (You ladies know why :D) For her birthday she’s getting a pedicure. Ssshhh…it’s a secret. She knows we’re going to the salon, but she’s figured out she’s getting a perm. As if. ---

Being as May 9 is my birthday and some people IRL like to call me, “Marck,” I’ve dubbed the ninth Cinco de Marcko and will be celebrating accordingly, and you all can too. ---

19th for me. I’ll be 22, and I guess there won’t be any more milestone birthdays. The only things I’m not legal for are renting a car (25), or running for Congress (25), the Senate (30), or the Presidency (35), and I’m sure nobody will ever let me do any of those things. 😉 ---
