Another big birthday bash!

[Sheryll Townsend]

*pauses among a pile of streamers and uninflated balloons to listen 
to the noise outside the door*

Stop that pounding, I'm decorating as fast as I can! Sheesh, how many 
sets of hands to you think I have? What? Use magic? ...

Well, why didn't *I* think of that!

*waves a hand and watches the decorations float into place*

Wow, that was easy! And look how wonderful it looks! Thanks everyone.

Birthday honourees for the past couple weeks have been:

Aug 29 - Dee/gyspycaine - gypsycaine at yahoo.com
Sept 2 - Meg Rose - megrose_13 at yahoo.com
Sept 4 - Phil Boswell - phil_hp7 at yahoo.co.uk
Sept 7 - colebiancardi - muellem at bc.edu
Sept 7 - Melody_wood14 (Melody) - mwood005 at comcast.net and 
Sept 9 - Vinnia - vinnia_chrysshallie at yahoo.co.nz

Wow, that's quite a list. Maybe I should hold parties just a little 
more often. Yes, I know the saying 'The more, the merrier', but you 
guys don't have to bake all the cakes!

Speaking of cakes, they're all over there on the table, along with an 
assortment of sandwiches and other nibblies. The bar is open, but 
those of you still at work, please watch your consumption. We don't 
want to be responsible for drunken memos to the boss and the like!

I hope all of our honourees had lovely, magical, wonderful days that 
brought them much joy.

Happy Birthday, Dee!
Happy Birthday, Meg Rose!
Happy Birthday, Phil!
Happy Birthday, colebiancardi!
Happy Birthday, Melody!
Happy Birthday, Vinnia!
