48th birthday celebration

Mr. Smiley sang Happy Birthday to me in the wee hours (I was born at 3 a.m.) When my mom was alive she used to call me on the phone at 3 a.m. and sing Happy Birthday to me, and then tell me to go back to sleep!

Random comment... I lost another pound! Woooo Hoooo

I'm excited about my day, especially meeting Oranges for the first time AND she's making my birthday cake!

I'm also happy that I can wear a fun, colorful Jams World dress for my birthday day. Because my Achilles is still a problem, I'm going to wear my Smileywoman hi-top Converse sneakers with it! Should look weird!
