Babe, you will ALWAYS beat out any sumo wrestler in my book! Let's hear how you celebrated (if you didn't, it is good to do some remedial education with your men...).

I have a crush on Ciaran Hinds in 'Persuasion'! I think we were always meant to be! I'll have to send him a birthday card next year.
Thank you guys for making me feel so special- there is nothing like family on my birthday:) and I love my gifts! Trixie Belden for my wicked case of nostalgia and a freshener for my seriously gross car- loves!
