Tuesday, April 19th

Today.. gosh, today is micheal's birthday.. I told ya , I'd do it and and I did...

I'm sitting here, excited by the fact that my birthday is tomorrow.. i'll be a whoopping 47 woohoo, and proud of it! and i as i sit thinking about my birthday coming up and what if any cards, i'll receive, i realise i never sent one, bought one, or gave one, out yet out this month, except to my son.

Damn, i hate that my calender was thrown out, that year I was sick, before i had a chance to copy down all the birthdays to the next one.. yeah i know, silly method, all depended on me.. well, my husband ment well. and in the hustle and bustle of today, i never did fill out a new one.

so going by my memory here, and saying these names and dates outloud, the 19th is my nephews micheal's birthday, and the 17th is barb's, and sammy's, the 3rd was christopher's and somewhere after the 4th (tommy's) and the barb's is Ronnie's twins, dominic and jessica. geesh, i got lots of cards to send. lol

i must admit i remembered barbs, at least to myself. i told my hubby it was her birthday one night. he of course tells me to call her.. and then my mind escaped me and i never called. maybe I should sing them all happy birthday, right here. hehe Too bad no one in my family reads this..

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to all of you
Happy birthday to you

I'm not sure what 's up with my family and computers. they don't seem to want to do much with a computer, but look up recipes, sport scores and occasionally check email.

I saw where Road runner started this 'umm Video email? where you use your web cam.. gosh a couple years ago when i got my web cam, i tried talking my family (brothers, sister and dad) into signing up for an IM service like yahoo, where we could sit and chat with voice and the camera. it truly threw them all off. and they couldn't understand why don't i just call them sometimes instead??? One of these days... I'll find someone to send a viseo email to, or heck send them one anyways, whats the worse that could happen? they'd write back asking how do they view it and why was my email empty.

MAB

In the Game called There (found on www.there.com) they have a board of community repesenatives. MAB = Members Advisory Board. Nomination were held the last few weeks.

I nominated myself. sounds crazy huh? well I never realized you could, till I saw someone else had. and darn it I wanted to be a part of it way back when it first started. But, noooooo, I was too young an avy. It really sucked beta testing too late! I started just before the BP3, it seems like i was never allowed to do so much.. if i had joined way back when i first heard about There, I'd be 2 years old, just about now! but noo i thought the avys were so big and silly looking. i was happy staying at home in tso.

why do i want to be in MAB? because I care so much about our world. plain and simple... i think i could represent the average joe and sally. at least to a degree. i decide long ago in There, if i didn't like what there was to do, i would create my own event, create my own way. and thats exactly what i've always done. who would have thought this shy but flirtatous mom from a tiny town in NY would be a host!! i hardly can bring myself to say Hi to a stranger any more in real life, at least since i stoped working to be a stay at home mom. but in There, I think I'm a darn good host. it's just like old times for me, afterall I've always cared about making ppl comfy, this is just one more step in that direction.

i never mentioned this to anyone but one person before, so i doubt anyone nominated me, but here's to nominateing yourself! Here's to me!!

March and April

If you are wondering why i'm not posting much.. A lot has to do with this time of the year. between march and and april in my little world, Three of us out 4 have birthdays. This year my oldest boy turn 16, the youngest 12, and I myself will be 47. :O

If I include the rest of the family, April is packed with birthdays.. I have my 2 twin neice and nephew's birthday, my cousin, my sister in law, my kids and myself... altho I am thinking of them all today. by the time the calender is near enough to their birthday to send a card, I will have forgotten it. Cus that's how I am !!

So Happy birthday family , sorry I forgot it!!
