Martha – looks like the b-day party will just have to be at the “SPA”….. and – you’ve got the whole month – I like to think of birthday month, not just birthday day.

That is what i had planned but its the same weekend as the Wilson and there are plans to head to the “Spa” that weekend. So then I moved it back to Labor Day but … ugh, I’ve always hated the timing of my birthday. I NEVER got a party at school, since back in the day, school started after Labor Day, and most of my ‘gifts’ were back to school clothes.

Martha – maybe you should have a I’m still 39 party the weekend before your birthday? (we aren’t leaving until Tuesday 9/1 for Colorado)

Debbie, I’m only hatin’ on the Bulldawgs because I’ll be in Athens. I’m sure if/when you spend time in lovely Gainesville, Florida your feelings toward the Gators would be the same.

Barb what a bummer…and I totally get the ‘family time’ issue. I always have to go there, my sister hasn’t been down here in more that 3 years.

Sal, that must have been terrible…one of my biggest fears, hurting myself and not being able to run, that and freaking out in the water next month.

Speaking of Birthdays…I may end up moving the birthday bash to the 12th…it seems like everyone is out of town this Labor Day weekend.

Happy Birthday Paulie.

I share a birthday with quite a few folks….my favorite is Divine (the 300 lb inpersonators in films such at Hairspray); Evander Holyfield and Peter Max.

Sorry about your birthday Barb. Mine last year was no fun either. We scheduled a trip to the Grand Canyon to run Rim to Rim to Rim. 2 weeks before we were to leave, I had foot surgery for my broken foot. Had to travel through airports etc on crutches and then had to sit on the rim while I watched everyone disappear into the Abyss.

Happy 44 Paulie! 44, btw, is my favorite number. Has been since grade school; beats the heck out of me why, but I’m sure I had a reason back in the day!

Now why do you have to be hatin’ on the Bulldogs? I’m in Florida, but I didn’t yell boo gators when I crossed the border on the way down. (Note to self, that’s a good idea in the future!)

Yay! Barb’s back! Sorry your actual b-day was a bust. I hear ya on the family “fun”. At least you have to import or go see yours… mine are all local!

Happy Birthday, Paulie!!!

Hey, 44 is a palindrome, so you’ve got that going for you…

Thanks to the website of the day, I now know that I am exactly 46 years younger than Jayne Meadows and 6 years older than Gwyneth Paltrow.

My favorite celebrity who shares my birthday: Meat Loaf (although Cheryl Tiegs was a close second; both are 19 yrs older than me, in case you were wondering)

Have a great time at the concert and enjoy your day off tomorrow.

I’m back! David Hasselhoff & Phyllis Diller are the only sort of good ones that share my birthday.

Paulie – I’m glad you are as old as me again.
I HOPE you have a better birthday than I did. Our flight got cancelled out of Moline, IL, so we had 5 hours to waste, luckily I found out before we drove the 1.5 hrs to the airport. Ended up going to Harry Potter (not a bad movie, just not my choice, the kids got to pick). Then finally left Moline about 5:30pm. Had to go thru Atlanta to get to Denver, arrived at midnight. So, no birthday dinner in Denver with friends (Charley’s Subs in concourse C was tasty though). Drove to the mountains & got there at 3AM. What a great day….. hahahahahahaha. At least I will always remember my 44th birthday.

And – my question from this vacation is…….. if you have to be quiet when children are sleeping, why the hell don’t you have to be quiet when adults are sleeping? In case you are wondering, I’ve had my fill of family for a LONG time. They have all been instructed, if they want to see us anytime soon, they can come to Atlanta.
