Thanks for the warm wishes everyone! And to those who asked: -Having a bday this close to Christmas isn't all that bad--everybody's already in town and willing to go out and have fun Plus, my parents always made sure to celebrate my birthday way before or way after so I didn't get jipped. -Plans for tonight include going to the bowling alley where my hubby works and getttin' drunk with some friends. Whoooooooooo!! -So far, it has been great!!!!
