Thank you so much, to those who have already sent me loverly early birthday wishes! I feel very special. ♥
I will be gone tomorrow ON my actual birthday. Vacation time! First off, it's the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. They've got a spiffy new penguin display! I know that they will be behind glass. But perhaps if I tell them it's my birthday, they'll let me pet one! ;-) Yeah, I doubt it, too. It IS my dream to touch a penguin, you know. But I will at least take lots of pictures.
Friday, we were going to go to an amusement park, but as I'm the only daredevil who likes the rides in my family (and I heard the place we were considering was a dump), that one will be foregone, in favor of...shopping! Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga is the largest shopping center in the state. We checked it out a long time ago, but I'm thinking it's bigger and better now. So I'm sure many goods will be purchased. Retail therapy cures ANYthing.
Saturday is a family cookout (my menu choice...ALL fresh vegetables, YUM. And a chocolate fudge cake.) Then Sunday, back to the Knoxville area to watch the Tennessee Smokies play baseball. No, it's not the big leagues, but they're still fun to watch, and the games are always a good time. Plus, they have this soft-serve ice cream that is to DIE for. Seriously. It's served in a little plastic baseball cap. :-P What could be funner?
So yeah, a nice relaxing birthday. Not. But it should be a good time at home, and then I'll feel like I need a vacation after my vacation. As always, if you've got presents, just leave 'em at the door. ;-) Heh heh.
Have a great weekend all, and thanks again for my greetings (and my song, Terri! That was spectacular!)
Be back Sunday night!
