Thank you sooo much!!
Just so you know - my best friend, her husband and I went out on Friday night to celebrate the fact that I am 44 today.  I had my very first Margarita.  Or two. or three.  

  We had Mexican food for dinner and then they took my drunk ass to the bowling alley!  I haven't had that much fun in forever.
My present to me:  I had several inches of hair cut off and got a new style.  I got my contact prescription refilled for the first time since May of last year so I am without my glasses again.  And yesterday my daughter and I colored my hair.  I have never been a brunette before and thought I would try it out.
Oh - DH would have loved to join us for dinner on Friday but he is not home.  This is going to be a long year as he is on his way back to Iraq.
