Today is the day, my 55th birthday. LOL, but according to Wini, I'm still one hour younger. Thanks for the tag Winivere! Love it!
On a serious note, I don't take birthdays lightly anymore or fuss about getting older. I've grown into my skin and feel better about myself each year. And, honestly, I thank God for each birthday; thank God that I'm still on the face of this earth and have lived another year.
In light of the latest news about our dear D (Donna), I do believe that each day is a gift; not to be taken lightly. My BF and my SIL had heart attacks and open heart surgery within days of each other and now D. Life is too short. Our time is numbered. We need to embrace each day, each moment because we never know when it will be our time.
I feel very guilty because I e-mailed everybody in the world besides D to see if anybody knew where she was and what was wrong. I'm kicking myself for not e-mailing D, herself. I treasure her friendship and know she will be back with us when she can be and thank the Lord she was taken care of.
I'm posting some tags I got for my birthday. Dannelle made the one above. I really, really like it.
Today is the day. I got some very nice gifts of my widget...lol. I really thought it was a fun thing to do. Ya know, there is still 8 hrs left for my birthday to add more gifts hehehe
All joking aside, I treasure each and every one of you. I'll be adding more tags that I got as I get them.
What's a birthday without Marilyn? My BF is taking Joey and I out to eat and then we will go out for a while tonight. I took tomorrow off and have Tues off for Veterans Day. I'm not sure about a gift. Actually, I do believe my cell phone was an early birthday present. My gift is having him alive and well and there for me.

A Very Happy Birthday Chris ,I agree with all you say ,just enjoy the day live it as though its your last, especially as we have just had the stunning news about our dear Donna ,have a brilliant year my dear friend ..love Jan xx
Happy birthday Chris! I hope you have a great meal out tonight! Stop kicking yourself over Donna, she wouldn't have replied as she was in hospital till Friday with no computer. She's now at her parents house with access to email. I was lucky when I emailed her yesterday in desperation to find out if she was OK. She was out of hospital and replied straight away, bless her, even apologising for worrying me with her absence! I think all the prayers and good wishes will carry her through this. Enjoy the rest of your day! Jeannette xx
Happy Birthday Sweetheart-wishing you much happiness today and always-hugs and love are coming your way! *May all your dreams come true!

Happy 55th!! Hope you have a great couple of days off.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!
I know, I found out about D via an email from Bridgett this morning. So many people knew for awhile but no one told me.
I was like WTH?
I'm just glad that she is alive and recovering...like i said to Bridgett, It's one thing to have a heart condition like i have but it's a whole nother thing to have a heart attack and Never see it coming.
I can only imagine.
Happy, happy birthday!!! I'm with you kiddo....getting older sure beats the alternative. ;o)
Happy Birthday Chris!! Mine is next Sunday. Hope you enjoy your day. Love you!
