I’d definitely recommend it, though we seemed to be the only people in the theatre who were laughing. Warped senses of humor? Perhaps.</p> <p>She, my father and my brother also gave me their presents while I was there - a copy of my favorite childhood Golden Book (<span style="font-style: italic">My First Counting Book</span>) and a beautifully painted, shabby-chic antique breadbox. Top that off with pizza and pumpkin cheesecake, and I’d say it was a pretty good day.</p> <p>Right now, I’m wondering where this headache came from and watching Ezzy (our newest rescued kitty) sleep peacefully on my desk - quite an accomplishment considering she was too afraid to eat during the first week we had her, and it took over six-months for her to come out of the bedroom. I don’t know what happened to her before she came here, but it wasn’t good.</p> <p>Okay, it’s late, and I need to drag my 30-year-old bottom off to bed. The elderly need more sleep, doncha know. </p> </div> </div>  <h3 id="comments">1 Comment</h3> <ol id="commentlist"> <li id="comment-754"> <h4 class="commentauthor"><a href='http://ibrakeforyarnhooksandbooks.blogspot.com/' rel='external nofollow'>Samantha</a> said,</h4> <p class="commentdate"> November 15, 2006 at <a href="#comment-754" title="Permanent link to this comment">12:27 pm</a> </p> <p>Happy Birthday!
