Thanks to everyone for all of the birthday wishes. Your posts have absolutely made this very "trying" birthday much more bareable!!

XOXO to all.
To answer your questions:
David got me the
Asus netbook. The Blue one! It's supposed to arrive today and I am driving the dogs crazy jumping up to see if it's the delivery truck everytime a car passes by!
The kids gave me a
PC drawing tablet to use in my studio.
My parents and in-laws gave me money (quite a bit, actually) to splurge at the wholesale bead shop Maryland!
And my BFF (I know, we are way too old for that but it gives us a chuckle) decorated the front of my house very early in the morning!
Life is Good!
