So what do you all think of the tatto I picked out?
Haven't gotten it yet.
I want to wait a while to make sure this is the pose & design I can live with.

About this size.
Thinking about right low calf close to my angle.

I love it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLYNIS.

Kate, glad to hear you are all home safe and sound and hopefully all recovered from whatever ailments you picked up, glad you had some fun family time and memories during this sad time.

Now that I've caught up it's time to call it a night.

 

[Glynis]

Hey everyone! Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes! You'll never know how much you brightened my day! All things considered, this has been a great birthday. It started actually yesterday, with my kids throwing me a surprise party! They blindfolded me and took me to the living room where they had made a poster saying "Happy Birthday, Mommy! We love you! Then they all signed (or scribbled) something for me. Then I got my "presents." Each child had taken a toy out of their toybox and wrapped them up for me. Picture, if you will, a small stuffed Blue wrapped in about half a roll of wrapping paper. That's what all 4 gifts looked like. I was trying so hard not to laugh as I could tell they had worked their little hearts out on this "party." After presents, DS brought me a bag of baby carrots, since I can't have cake, and DD #1 threw handfuls of confetti on me. This was homemade confetti, made by ripping pieces of paper into miniscule bits. Then for the showstopping finale, they brought out a pinata they had made. It looked like a blob of more wrapping paper, tied tightly shut with yarn, and then tied to my broom. DH held it up while each child tried to hit it with a small plastic bat. It made very suspicious noises as they hit it, and imagine our surprise when it finally burst and some very crushed pretzel sticks fell to the floor. The kids were so excited to have done this very grown up thing, and truth be told, I was extremely touched.

Then DH took me out for dinner. Nothing fancy, just a steak. I ate 3 bites of steak, 2 small shrimp, and 3 broccoli florets, and was full. It's funny, I used to hate going out to eat, because I imagined that the wait staff was judging me on what I ordered. Now I hate to go out to eat, because the wait staff always looks at me in disbelief as I ask for a to go box. Last night, the waiter, looked at my plate, then at me and said, "Was there something wrong with the food?" I had to explain about my new tummy, and then he got it! I just can't win!

Today at church, I was bombarded by people wishing me happy birthday. I even got complimented when someone asked how it felt to finally turn 31. What a great feeling!

After church, the kids decided they needed birthday cake. So, I ended up making myself a birthday cake that I couldn't eat, and then cleaning up after it! At least they enjoyed the cake. DH bought a new freezer, and a new refrigerator/freezer a couple of weeks ago, so that is what I claim as my real presents. Then he tells me that he wants to get me a gift certificate to a day spa, but he wants me to pick out the treatments that I want. I've never done anything like that, so I don't know what I want. Suggestions, anyone?

Well, that's it from birthday land. Again, thanks for all the birthday wishes. You guys sure know how to make someone feel special.

Elin - I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! I'm sending you for your time with her this weekend. We got a similar call about my 93 yr. old Grandmother today, and are going to say goodbye to her this weekend. You will be in my thoughts.

Kate - Welcome home! I'm so glad that the funeral was everything you all hoped it would be. What a wonderful image that train gave you! Things like that are so important. My grandfather always carried jelly beans in his pockets, and after he died, I took a jar of jelly beans to his funeral. Every year since, I leave a jar of jelly beans at his grave. It's a nice memory to have. I hope your kids are doing better, and that you can escape the illness. My Jacob had it last Monday, and it was completely gone in less than 24 hours. Take care of yourself, and don't let yourself get too run down!

Brenda - I hope you are feeling better now! I love the design you have chosen. I would never be brave enough to get a tattoo, but I can't wait to see how yours turns out!

Tinknme - Glad to see you made it back safely! I can't wait to hear all about your trip! Details, woman, I want details!

Glynis,

Happy Birthday.

What a sweet thing for your family to do for you.
I went to a spa and had what they call a 'Teaser'. a little of this and that. 45 minute massage, mini facial. manicure and pedicure which consisted of just exfoilating and then polishing. Plus they brought a little tray of cheese, crackers and fruit and I drank water but could have had just about anything. I could have even brought wine if I wanted. Check on the spas close to you and of course ask your friends if they have gone to any. I was at this spa for over 2 hours being very pampered. I would do it again. The thing to consider, what would make you really feel just like you want to melt.

Brendeta love the tink design. I would never be brave enough for a tattoo. I have a needle phobia. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Glynis you children are so sweet. I know they felt wonderful throwing a party for you.

The smilies are working for me now. However, this morning (for the second time since joining the DIS, I double-clicked on the guy rolling on the floor and I was sent to a porn site). When I came back to the smilies, they weren't displaying properly in the list. Not sure if I have a virus or worm, but I've checked and nothing was found! They look fine again now.

yikes!

I still have no smilies I can see about 10 of them but the rest are blanks. I can type the tags in so I assume you can see mine. I downloaded smilie central yesterday and I think it's stuffed them up -can't work out how to uninstall the horiible thing though

 

[PNO4TE]

Congrats Steelers you actually fielded a team!!!!

Hey, now.........
