Urs, I think you are in violation of the Official A2K Rules of Birthday Girl Behavior to wit:
Quote:And to keep in shape I also shovelled some snow...
Birthday Girls are not allowed to even think about keeping in shape on their birthdays, not are they supposed to be within twenty meters of a snow shovel or other device of manual labor ie
Stay out of the Kitchen.
I'm sorry to inform you, and I think if you check with the other former birthday girls you'll see I am right, you have transgressed A2K's rules and now must make amends.
You must do your birthday over.
Today is now your official birth day. From this moment forward until Midnight you are to nothing un-celebratory.
You must be in the company of those who will wait on you hand and foot.
You must eat, but not cook.
You may clean nothing, but you are allowed to make a mess for others.
You may sing, and we must listen.
You get to pick whatever is on the television or the stereo for the entire day.
Napping is permitted but not for too long, you'll miss the fun.***
Oh, as to your car, I'm sending a contingent of US Marines over to dig it out. They will do this with their shirts off. Get a lawn chair and a hot tea and enjoy.
Joe
***Napping with the Marines is permitted and not subject to the above time restrain.
