Happy Birthday, Sally!

Today is Sally's Birthday! I would say which birthday, but most of you know already, because the large majority of us are the same birthyear.

I have known Sally almost all of my life. The only person I have known longer, that is not a family member, is Stephanie Stalls Carrerra Whatever, and we all know that she hasn't been in the picture in years.

I met Sally when my family moved in next to hers on West Second street, when I was four and a half years old. That's a long time folks. A very long time. How many of us can say we have friends that have been with us for over thirty years?

So this is to Sally. I am including several photos. If I had really thought about it, I would have gone over to Mama's and gotten some of the really old photos out to put in here, things that would probably have been forcibly retracted at a later time.

These first ones are two of my favorite pictures. Sally took our engagement picture, you see, and so I took one with Sally in my spot, just to see what it would look like.

Good picture, huh?


Looking through the pictures I have, it's funny how all of the really good ones revolve around the wedding - I guess I need to get better pictures of Sally, huh?

So Happy Birthday, to someone who will always be older than I am!

My Inspiration

Two years ago I stumbled across a blog called Dooce. Heather Armstrong was writing about her life - her daughter and husband and stuff that happened to her. She is hiliarious. I hope only to be half or a quarter as witty and funny as she is.

So she is now part of a wave of "Mommy Bloggers" or something like that. It's a booming business according to the Today show this morning. And here's a link to Heather's interview.

And I feel very comfortable calling her Heather in references, because I just know if I were to meet her we would become best friends and hang out all the time.

Not really, but it would be cool.

So after you guys watch the YouTube link above, definitely check out Heather's blog - www.dooce.com

And let me know - do you think she is as funny as I do?

Finally someone is bringing money in . . .

Well, Sassy got her prize today for winning in the Humane Society's photo contest under favorites. A $15 gift card to Tractor Supply Company - which works, I guess, because we ARE supposed to spend the money on her - right?

Anywho - with $5 to enter her, $5 to enter Pete (who did not win and is still recovering from the depression of not being chosen), that leaves us with a $5 profit.

Now only about $545 more dollars to go and we can call it even.
