HA HA HA...love this, and will pass it on, and may even print it out! thanks. If this is true, then I'm a GENIUS!

Ok Luvs~ paybacks are heck ya know. ha Yes, I turned "34" once again this year. teehee (I refuse to be older than 34) DH took the day off and took me antiquing and to this place called the Quilted Bear which is a huge place with lots of crafty booths. Got lots of good ideas for Christmas gifts so I'll be going back soon to start on my Christmas stash and fun things that I think I can do myself. I didn't even make it all the way thru the place and I there for over 2 hours so if they are open I'm taking my mom over on Monday again. Dh was hoping I'd find something special at the antique stores so he could get it for my B-day, but alas only saw one red wing crock that caught my eye, but not enough to pay the big price tag that was on it. So I'll probably get my gift at the Quilted Bear on Monday. Only thing is picking just one thing!! ha He took me out to dinner at a new steak house. Some friends joined us and we had a pretty good time. Then we went to see Rush Hour 3. Very hilarious. My parents took me out on Thursday to Cracker Barrel and then I'll be having my cake and ice cream sometime this weekend so I'm just dragging the whole thing out for a week it seems like. ha Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes!! ~Anj (another year older, but probably not much wiser. ha)

I add my hopes that all of you dealing with cancer, and folks dealing with other incapacitating illnesses, may have a good day for Christmas and that it may be a happy occasion for you and yours. Thankful that, as someone said, great strides have been made in terms of dealing with many kinds of illness, I pray also that your treatments may be successful and that you may be restored to good health. Good wishes for a better New Year: may it bring the fulfillment of some of your hopes and dreams. (((((folks coping with cancer ... and other difficult health problems))))) ole joyful
