This morning is not starting off right. The back door lock is jammed shut; I forgot my phone; I sprinted for 2 blocks to catch the Metra to work, then realized I forgot the Right Guard this morning, necessitating a quick trip to CVS pharmacy before getting to the office.
However, I do have this going for me…

The good news is that today is Stacy's birthday. Charlie couldn't wait to wish mom a happy birthday, so he got up extra early for her. Grandma is watching the boy tomorrow, which is a great gift for mom and dad.
Happy Birthday and 9 years together, Stace!
What a beautiful picture.
Welcome home, you were missed.
Stacy's birthday is one of the only one of my friends that I don't forget. The date is just stuck in my head; I guess b/c I've been trying to remember it for ... oh... say .... Almost TWENTY YEARS!
Me too - not the twenty years part, just the date part. I remember Stacy looking forward to the humongous party she would have on 9/9/99 (although I can't at all remember how the party went. hmmm.....)
Happy Birthday, Stace!
