What I want for MY birthday......

Wow, I am another year older today. I almost forgot about my own birthday. One could ask, "How could that be?" The answer is easy. It isn't really MY birthday anymore. Nope, Abigail will now have two birthdays per year. Hers, when she gets here and mine when she needs more stuff.

My mother-in-law is a very sweet woman. She always calls my wife and asks, "What does Carleh want for her birthday?" My wife always has a ready answer, because we usually discuss it prior to my birthday.

Let me take you into the inner recesses of my mind and describe what I REALLY, REALLY wanted. Here is my fabulous birthday wish list: 1. A new video camera, 2. A new digital camera, 3. An I pod, 4. A mobile GPS or 5. Any gadget that will make my mouth drop open and my eyes glaze over

When Abigail's grandmother called this year to find out what "Momma C" wanted, she was told "a gift certificate to Buy Buy Baby." So, this year I got exactly 1/2 of a diaper changing table, in the form of a little gift card bearing the name of Buy Buy Baby. The good news is this, eventually I will get a great computer desk, unless.... My darling daughter needs one for her dorm room. In that case, I will want a college scholarship for my birthday
