Thanks for the birthday wishes!! My day was a typical birthday for me...I started my period, woke up late and had to RUSH to get to a meeting..which lasted like 3 hours..cut my leg shaving, had several zits, Jerry got called into work early (he's suppose to be on leave), I had to make a commissary run, do laundry and mail off a big bill where we had the suburban fixed...at 6:45 when Jerry finally got home I told him I was not cooking and we headed out to eat!! Jerry did clean house for me all day on Tuesday and Jerome super cleaned his room which was an awesome birthday gift...I can't begin to tell you how nasty his room was!! As a belated gift, we're taking a four day trip to Canada over Labor Day...now that I know Obama and I share the same birthday, I may decide to live there until the Republicans rise again!!:) Anybody want anything from Canada? I'm looking for those little mitts they had during the Olympics!! We're going to the rain forest north of Vancouver...did you know Canada had a rainforest? Me either!! It's full of suspension bridges at the tree tops that you walk around on...isn't that cool? There's also a super long zip line that the boys and I will ride...Jerry's afraid it will hurt his back, so he'll just watch and laugh as I scream!! I'm excited..I loved Canada on the east side..I suspect I will love it on the west as well!! I'll post pics when I get back!! Jeanie, thanks again for letting me talk with Dad for my birthday..best present ever. He sounded so good and we actually carried on a conversation! I was so happy!! Judy I'm glad to hear Leisa is doing so good...bless her heart, she's been through it...hopefully nothing but smooth sailing for here on out!! Okay I'm off to get some cash for the weekend and learn my new countries anthem..Oh Canada... Love you all, Jamie
