a "still driving 82"...


the "notorious d" called this morning singing "happy birthday" to the tune of some Christmas carol... ("happy holiday" is the one; i think... by bing crosby???;)

"so, do you feel 39???" d asked.
"nope, 82..." i responded.
"a 'still driving 82' or a 'wearing depends 82'???" she laughed.
"hmm... definitely a 'still driving 82'," i said.
"oh, well, GOOD!!!" she replied:D

ROTFLMAO!!!


(i do feel more than a year older than i did this time last year, though...)

"...while the merry bells keep ringing,
may your every wish come true.
happy holiday, happy holiday..."

love and God's blessings,
dani xx

Well how old could you really be if you wear a Sponge Bob Square Pants partyhat??? Keep that inner child alive and you'll only feel as old as you think you are.

A very happy birthday to you, Dani!!!

I must say that your other post scared me a bit. I'd been checking your blog last week but thought you might have gone on holiday or something (already thinking: hey, she didn't tell us?!). Then I read what really happened. That must have been quite a scare for you and your family. I'm so glad that you are alright and already feeling better.

Knuffels,
Tania
PS: you don't look a day older than 29 :)

Wishing you a VERY Happy Birthday! I hope that you have a funfilled birthday.

And glad that you are feeling better. I was worried last week when there weren't posts. Since I've started reading your blog it's definitely not the norm for your posts to be so sporadic. (Me on the other hand.......I'm stuck in Wii land right now. Hoping to update soon!)

i couldn't believe she left it on, amanda!!! lmao, she was too worried about licking the icing from between her eyes to worry about her hat!!! she's such a happy baby:b

oh, tanya, i thought you were sending tayla over to play with me, katherine, and maggie!!! then i continued on and realized that the "ray of sunshine" you were sending in the body of your comment and the "ray of sunshine" (tayla) you referred to in your post script were two different rays... bummer!!!
maybe if i start saving my pennies, someday we can celebrate both our birthdays together on the 4th!!!
love,
dani
hugs to tayla!!!

Hi Dani

What a great birthday shot - so celebratory! I read in your comments that this was a photo from last years birthday.

I hope on this birthday, even though you had to rest and take it easy, that you were still able to enjoy the celebrations and festivities that came your way.

Lots of love and hugs
Elise

dani said...

hi, elise...
i did enjoy the day; it was a very restful one. so, there was not a lot of celebration nor festivities, which was totally ok as i'm not/wasn't quite up to it yet.
love and hugs to you all,
dani
