Thanks, Shelly! I've been waiting for a call from Oz all morning, and since it's after midnight there, I guess it won't be coming this morning after all.
Ted and I are going to spend a quiet evening together, order in some Indian food, open a special bottle of wine. We'll see everyone on Saturday and have cake then.
IF it's any consolation, I planned to start this thread for you bright and early, but now Aiden is sick. I think it's starting to pass, but needless to say, it's been a not so great morning lol.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Karen...!!! I hope you've had a splendid day, and that any snow hasn't caused you problems.
A quiet night with Indian food sounds lovely to me -- one of my favorites! Cake on Saturday is good too. Somehow, cake after Indian food just doesn't work...
So, put your feet up, and enjoy those samosas! I'm singing "Happy Birthday" for you, and I guess that it isn't too terrible because my husband hasn't complained yet.
Blessings, and best wishes.

Thanks so much everyone. We had a quiet evening with our Indian food and watched another so-so movie, Perfect Strangers, then trundled off to bed.
Nick called me around 5 with the unsettling news that he's now coming back in April but that his g/f won't be. She has decided to make a life for herself down there. At least that's the word to date. I'm really disappointed, and so sad for my son as he's between a rock and a hard place with this latest decision.
I'm treating myself to hair and nails this morning, then off to see if I can get my father's glasses out of their Christmas tree. He called last night to say that as he was on the floor adjusting the lights, a branch swooped down on his face and sprung back into place with his glasses. And without his glasses on, he couldn't see well enough to find them. Gah.
Oh goodness Karen, I know its bittersweet news that your son is coming home sans his girlfriend, I mean at least for you he is coming home but will he be happy. Anyways, lots can happen in the 4 short months between now and then.
I don't remember if I saw Perfect Strangers. I may have to look it up.
I hope you enjoy your hair and nail day, your poor dad.
OH Karen. Nick seems like such a good kid .. a lil crazy but so good. I hope it all works out for him. You never know what will happen. She may even change her mind. Then again if not, I bet he will find a wonderful girl back home.
