Birthdays and such...

[Jennifer Piersol]

Hi - thanks to Amy and Sheryll (and Neil, who said HB offlist).  It 
was a birthday...but I can't say it was the best I've ever had.  I'm 
hoping my husband makes up for his lack of effort today.  He went to 
a lot of effort in making a pound cake... but he made it for a 
committee meeting.  When the meeting was cancelled, he decided that 
he'd give it to the next-door neighbors, who are moving out soon... 
and when I asked, "were you planning on making a cake for me?"  he 
said, "Oh.  Did you want a cake?"  Not to mention that he scheduled 2 
review sessions (it's finals week here at the college we work for) 
this evening - so he was at work from 8:30am - 12pm (final and office 
hours), and then again from 2:30 - 8pm.  And for my present?  I got 
to grade papers.  

Well, in any case, my little girl sang "hah burbay (next part in a 
big yell) TO MOMMY!" all day, which was a mood lifter.  Of course, 
selfish being that I am, half of those were prompted by none other 
than myself. ;)

Jen (who is glad it's not her birthday anymore, but hopes she gets a 
gift soon - and wonders if her husband had intended on giving her one 
for Mothers' Day any time this year...)

(did that sound incredibly selfish?)
