I had to postdate a few hours so it would actually fall on the right date... the holiday birthdays have begun. My dad turned 77 today, and for the next couple of weeks it's birthday central around here. My best friend's husband is Thursday, my brother's birthday is New Year's (just after midnight, he almost made first baby), mine is next Tuesday, my mother-in-law's is next Wednesday, and my grandmother's would have been on Thursday. Then a month and a few days go by and it's my hubbies birthday.

I hate that my dad's, mom's & best friend's birthdays now coincide with horrific disaters (my mom's and friend's are a few days after September 11th. And now my dad's birthday is "Tsunami Day", yikes. Not to seem insensitive, but my husband watches CNN & MSNBC most of the time and after awhile we just had to turn the TV off this afternoon.

Really looking forward to 2006... and really hoping it's at least a little better than 2005, please don't let it be worse. Pretty please???
