wow....fun filled days!
and today is your birthday, isn't it? not too late to say
HAPPY DAY!
if you have any questions about being 36, just let me know, i'm QUITE experienced!
Happy Birthday! I'll be 36 in October so you've got a few months on me!
I know only too well about the bow tie thing. I even tried going into some shops to ask. There are some online videos but none of them helped. I've got lucky once or twice after figuring it out on my thigh.
Oh, and I speak Russian - - I actually had a dream last night that I was talking to Putin!
The list of your past 24 hours (congrats on the Macy's emergency shoes, by the way) would take me a year to complete. It wore me out!! Or is that due to the fact I have about 12 years on you??
Sorry to hear you might be getting a new boss soon. Knew this wasn't good news due to the graphic at the end of the sentence. Best of luck with that. I have felt so GOOD about myself these past few days -- the days I have had to myself since my boss left the department last week.
Tell Kitty that is NO WAY to treat the traveling birthday grrrl!! Maybe your husband can make (draw) a special mood alterator for Kitty.
Happy Belated Birthday!
Your life is officially 36x more exciting than mine. If I tried to make a list like this it would have things like 'enjoyed my day off, starting making a birthday card for a friend, had an afternoon nap, walked the dog, wanted to get a slushie but the store's machine wasn't working, bought some stuff for my hair'... etc ... things like that.. much less exciting... haha
