Happy Birthday – Crash!

Happy Birthday to me! yea!
I have a new Birthday wish – I wish for a new carport attached to the house in front of the garage door.
Of course, this would require removing the OLD carport that I managed to knock half-way down with the car this morning.
I guess I was simply so jazzed on my birthday [...]

Ok, so on Friday I got drops and gel to “make it less painful.” Everything went well on Friday and Saturday – went to Foxes, eye was fine after early morning discomfort. WAY less pain upon waking on both nights.
Sunday however, it was crummy in am (as usual) and then proceeded to get worse [...]

I love Sandra Boynton, and now I have a small and lively excuse to buy everything she ever wrote.
Check out her web page – it’s ALL Boynton. Especially read the small print/flavor text and her bio.
I just LIKE this lady. Kudos to her!

Birthdays have always been a happy celebration time for me – A “Yea! we’re happy you’re here on earth, let’s celebrate *you* today! ” time. I like having a *me* day each year. Even if I do nothing [...]

It horrifies me and makes me laugh at the same time.
I had to do some digging – its called Dog eat Doug (Doug’s the kid, Sophie’s the Dog). It’s actually pretty funny: http://www.creators.com/comics/dog-eat-doug.html Enjoy!

My friend Bill sent me this via YIM, with the statement, “Okay – at some point, it will no longer be image processing, but will become necromancy.”
