The expected Nor&#39;Easter seems to have missed us but we are still due for a wet day today.   It seems New Jersey was hit badly but somehow we escaped.   Jim &amp; I have to go up and see our birthday girl before she leaves for school.   Our Ashleigh turns 6 today and she called us to come up and see her last night because &quot;this is the very last night for you to see me being 5&quot; so we will go and see how different she looks now that she has reached the ripe old age of 6.   hehe<br /><br />Joey - what is the next step now for you and David?   How do you find out about which children would be available to you?   I know it will be hard but be patient Joey.   It will all be worth it in the end.<br /><br />Jenn - YEAH&#33;&#33;  So glad you are back behind the wheel.   How did it feel driving after all that time?    Have fun today with your Red Hat gang.  What type of centerpieces are you working on?<br /><br />Tonia - Congrats on getting dismissed from JD but see what fun you had being out during the day.    <br /><br />Jackie - that food looks amazing.    The pizza had my mouth watering.   <br /><br />Cheryl - another project?   You just can&#39;t sit still can you.    Just take your time and don&#39;t over-do it.<br /><br />Deb - have a great weekend with your friends.   When do you leave?<br /><br />Falina - glad that Stuart is doing so well.   Sorry about all the paperwork you have to do.   I have so much personal filing to do here but my file cabinet is full which means I have to clean that out first.  <br /><br />Shaunna - Hope you are feeling better today.  It sounds like your nap did not help.<br /><br />Sue - have a fun weekend.<br /><br />Kevin - you must be busy at work.   Guess the nightime parties will have to wait for the weekend<br /><br />Gotta run and go into the basement and find a little something for the birthday girl.   I have a &quot;gift&quot; room down there that I add to all year long.   Her big gift from us won&#39;t come til Sunday when we go to the American Girl store in New York City  to buy her a new doll and have a special birthday luncheon there.  Tonight we will all go to Red Robin for dinner.  She loves the big Ice Cream dessert they bring to those having a birthday.<br /><br />Make today special and I&#39;ll be back after she gets on the bus.
