Thank you to EVERYONE who has sent me birthday wishes over the past few days!
I was not prepared for the whole MySpace thing, and all the people that send birthday comments and emails via that.
I have to tell you, so far this is the best birthday ever! Beating even the one when I was 12 and got a much begged for suprise party thrown for me
It started out with my family stopping by Friday afternoon. My Mom & Erica brought over six helium balloons. 3 of them had encouraging comments like "You're not getting older you're getting wiser" and stuff, 3 of them had comments like "You're so FRIGGIN' OLD! Why don't you just crawl in an open grave and wait to die already!".
My sister excitedly asked if I could guess which three of the balloons were from her. I bet you all can guess
My sister also gave me a huge 3 foot by 1.5 foot card. I got some gifts, and a big cookie
Then we headed to the casino for a seafood buffett. Drinks at the bar with sis' and some gambling (I played for 5 hours and lost $20, not a bad day).
I've gotten some gifts from friends, cards from family, but a few forum members REALLY made this birthday something special.
First, I received another one of Woo's home-made cards. I am SO not a card guy. I hate em' really. But these are something special. It's just so nice to know someone took the time to MAKE a card for you. THANK YOU WOO!
Then today, out of the blue, arrived something that almost made me cry tears of joy!
LADYSTRANGE, YOU, ARE, A GODDESS! You are the Goddess of musical history and I bow before you and your vast collection of all things musical!
Ladystrange put together a DVD of Patty Smyth appearances on Letterman, Leno & a country show (five in all).
But the BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEST part is live concert footage from Tokyo circa 1987!!!!! WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
She sent it on a blank white DVD, which gave me the opportunity to test out the new printer I bought for the online business I'm setting up. CHECK IT OUT!
The only thing missing from this being a PERFECT birthday is a Bears superbowl loss.
But it's already the best birthday I've ever had.
Thank you guys! I feel really bad that I'm not around much anymore, expecially now
As soon as I get this business up and running I'll be in here hanging out with you all a lot more often, I promise!
