I just got my first 40th birthday gift. And really, I don't expect any.
It's from my wonderful friend Michelle, my fellow Spartan fan and true crime buff.
MUAAA, Shell, you are wonderful, have fun on vacation and raise a glass with Joe on the 29th and think of me.
She sent me a t-shirt that says OVER THE HILL U 40th. A tape of 24 Tunes For Celebrating 40 which I totally love, all the great 80s stuff. And a book, Every Woman's Nightmare, about the Lori Hacking murder.
Death Hags, UNITE.
Now, I'm going to put the tape on so I can drown out the really abysmal neighborhood garage band who is practicing Bad Company's Good Loving Gone Bad over and over ad nauseum. Guys, hey, it ain't working out, okay?
You know what I've just got to say about the bad garage band...
"Me and the boys have been playing...but we just can't find the sound. Oh Beth, what can I do?"

OMG Darr, LMAO at that one!
Can't wait to see you next week, and that big guy you drag around with you. I kind of like him, too.
Hey, Tammi is coming!

I can't wait to see you, too! And I'm so glad Tam is coming! I just with Sarah could be there, too.
Speaking of the demon rock-n-roll, are you watching Rock Star: Supernova? Cracks my shit up.

Lis, you are sincerely welcome and you know that Joe and I will be toasting you (actually on the 28th, as that is actually when your bday is, but what the hell, once again on the 29th when you have your party)...I am so glad you liked everything. I tried to put a little of everything in there, but I couldn't manage a way to send the wine without fear of it breaking. Have a wonderful, wonderful day and a great time at the party...Bon Anniversaire!
And remember: WE'RE the Kids in America! HA HA.
That is probably one of the greatest mixed tapes I have ever made, if I do say so myself...Uh Oh---I just realized I completely forgot to put A Flock of Seagulls on there...damn it all!
BTW, Hi Darr! Make sure Lisa has fun at her party, as I know you will :)

One of my favorites!
