Good morning everybody&#33; A dark dreary and rainy day today....expecting 1 to 2 inches of rain-YUCK&#33;....but I guess it&#39;s better than snow&#33;<br /><br />Another December baby here - the 20th. I too got b&#39;day presents wrapped in Christmas paper. I kinda wish my mother would have had a &quot;half-b&#39;day&quot; celebration for me. I think that&#39;s a great idea&#33; I had 3 big parties when I was a kid - 5th, 12th and 16th birthdays. On my other birthdays it was just family but I was spoiled rotten being the only girl in the family so I got lots of attention. <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":tongue:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> <br /><br /><b>Robert</b> - what a horrible thing to wake up to&#33; It is so sad what people are resorting to these days. People are getting desperate. I know here in MI - with the highest unemployment rate - the petty crimes are up. So sad&#33;<br /><br /><b>Cheryl</b> - waiting to hear about the wedding&#33;<br /><br />Still got some laundry to do today. I think I have some of that &quot;post-cruise&quot; depression - just don&#39;t feel like doing much&#33;<br /><br />A big HELLO to Mary Lou, Joey, Jackie, Andrea, Rose, Falina, Sue, Jim, Kevin, Jenn, Martha, Vickey, Steve, Shari and all other Crazies out there.<br /><br />Have a great Tuesday&#33;
