We bought a birthday cake with Happy Birthday Jesus on it and sang happy birthday.  Our 7-year-old loved it!

Doncha just love getting flowers?!  Happy birthday and here's to many more!

I'd definitely give it a shot.  If you're like me, you've probably already spent a small fortune on every other concoction out there on the shelves...what's one more, right? 

You want a real treat?  You HAVE to try Bare Minerals.  I always wear a little makeup whenever I go out, just to give my self-esteem a much needed boost.  Liquids, even the kind that say they are 24-hours, just seem to slide off my skin or make my skin peel.  This stuff is fantastic and really covers incredibly well, even though it is a powder.  Even my ultra-sensitive skin doesn't have a problem with it.  I tried a sampler from QVC a few years ago, fell in love with it, and now I also get that as I need it from deals on Ebay. 

Again, HAPPY 30th BIRTHDAY!  

Today is my sister's B-day too . . . my sweet Angie Pangie!  (aka Piggie Pie)  LOL!!! 

and many more!   Cat

I will be 47 on Thursday :)

DAYTON - Gloria Murphy gave children celebrating her 55th birthday alcohol and then had sex with a 12-year-old boy at the party on Thursday, Jan. 29, according to police.

The boy got into Murphy’s bed at 5440 Rawlings Drive, where the married woman had sex with her adolescent neighbor, according to police and Montgomery County prosecutors. 

Two of the children at the party ran home at about 6 a.m. Jan. 30 and told a parent they saw the boy and woman having sex, according to 911 audio.

The parent then called police at about 6:15 a.m., according to a police report and 911 audio.

Murphy did not force the boy to have sex, but since he is younger than 13, it is considered rape, Lt. Patrick Welsh said. No other children were involved in the sexual encounter, but some other children at the party consumed alcohol, according to police.

I just know in advance you will all wish my mom's (she's like mine) Toy Terrier, TinyLyn, who will be seven years old tomororw, a happy birthday! She is just the love of my life, and so dear. Let's hear it for Tyne! I got her a birthday cake for dogs at JustDogs at our mall.   (Me and Tyne)

Juliet is a kindergarten teacher in NYC...She said, "We just had our Valentine's day cupcakes and pudding, then they went to lunch"...All I could say was "They're not going to gym next, are they?"  She said, "Well yeah, that's their next class".  I said, "Get ready for a barforama!"....If I hadn't already lived through it I could'nt have said it...Poor Juliet  Cat  

A US woman has written a book about the unusual gift she gave her husband for his 40th birthday - 365 nights of sex.

High-flying PR exec Charla Muller, from North Carolina, hit upon the idea for her salesman husband Brad, now 42, and has written a book about the year.

"When I offered my husband sex every day for a year to celebrate his 40th birthday he literally fell over. After hearing the words, Brad slipped on a toy on the floor and landed with a thud. As I had spent so long thinking about an exciting present that I thought he would love, I was confident he would say yes. But to my astonishment, Brad refused my offer. He said: “It’s a great idea, I just don’t think you really mean it.”

Being intimate at night meant we worked better as a couple during the day. Our house ran better because we were more agreeable. Having sex regularly made me start looking around, wondering who else was getting good loving. Is it the good-looking women or the regular mums — like me?

Sometimes I don’t shave my legs and have stinky breath, but Brad still finds me sexy.

I worried our sex every day arrangement may become a routine, like brushing my teeth or having a shower. On the third month, Brad had to call it a day during one session. “We’ve been doing it for 88 days straight,” he said. “I don’t think I have it in me. After all, there’s always tomorrow.”

After six months of the gift, we both worried whether it was possible to keep things new and exciting. I didn’t have the energy to constantly spice things up. Before, just having sex was new and exciting. Now we had to turn it up a notch to get out of the land of run-of-the-mill sex, to the kingdom of earth-shattering, wake-the-neighbours sex.

But we were nearing the end of our agreement, and although all I wanted to do was crawl under the covers and go to sleep, I realised: Sometimes you gotta do it when you just don’t want to. It was just like spending Christmas with your in-laws or cheering on a football team you couldn’t care less about. “Let’s get on with it,” I muttered to Brad. “Just close your eyes.” Brad sighed, and did just that.

The day after Brad’s 41st birthday I was giddy with excitement, relieved and ebullient that I didn’t have to have sex every day. I bounced around the house, singing: “I did it, I did it,” under my breath. I was deeply satisfied that I had carried the present through."
