Happy Birthday to Me!

@Kimarketing Happy Birthday

Thanks to all my Facebook and Twitter followers for all the birthday wishes thus far! And thanks to Jim Kukral for the above ballad. If he’ll sing for me (even after I mocked his attire choice), Jim will sing for anybody!

Anyway, I’m having a great birthday, and the day’s not over yet!

Had to take my son’s car in for repair* so met Squeak for lunch at our favorite place – Culver’s ($2.99 Snack Packs, baby) – and she made me a beautiful autumn wreath. Also received some flowers and other nice gifts. Next up am going out for supper and daiquiris with some girlfriends and then meeting my posse for drinks. Could be a long night.

*I had this brilliant idea to drive my son’s car when he isn’t using it as his gets better gas mileage and is still under warranty if it should break down. Well, the warranty doesn’t cover if you hit a pheasant** and break the side mirror. And fixing it cost more than the gas saved. Fine, I’ll drive my SV6.***

**So, my grandma asked if I picked up the pheasant to cook up for supper!? Um, no. I lived with my dad in high school, and he only cooked on Sundays. I swear it was road kill surprise – pheasant, rabbit, goose – coulda been possum for all I knew. Good thing I worked at the local dairy sweet as I lived on pizza burgers. And no, Marty, pheasant does NOT taste like chicken.

***P.S. Did I mention I want a new Dodge Journey (in red) for my birthday?

My Family is Screwy and Smiley

First my mom shattered her heel requiring 13 screws (she still is not recovered), and now my son dislocated his kneecap and fractured his growth plate requiring 2 screws. I felt a little guilty having to leave him for my conference in Vegas, but the doctor assured me it was fine to go. Ok, doctor’s orders. So, my mom, one cripple, took care of the other cripple.

I’ll post more later on the Vegas trip (am a tad tired), but here is a teaser pic for you. After alcohol was involved, I’m not sure my brother, my cousin, my boyfriend, my friends and I were the appropriate spokesmodels for ShoppingBookmarks.com. But a good time was sure had by all.

Update: Even Brian Littleton, President of ShareASale sported a metallic thong bearing the ShoppingBookmarks.com smiley face for charity, with all proceeds going to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southern Nevada.

And Brian played the piano while Mike, Pat and Ethan serenaded Missy Ward…
