<p>so, I got the bourbon so I can make that apple cake! Oops, forgot the apples . . .</p>
<p>Happy Birthday CGM!</p>
<p>I am a musician, and I CAN carry a tune, but my kids always stopped me from singing along with their Raffi & Sharon, Lois & Bram tapes. I never figured out why, but I tried not to take it personally. Sniff.</p>
<p>Anyway, I am over here singing along to sluggbugg’s excellent arrangement of Happy Birthday. She has hidden talents. :)</p>
<p>HAPPY BIRTHDAY CITYGIRLSMOM!!!</p>
<p>Talk about hitting the bottle…I got the big 5-0 coming up… :(</p>
<p>Happy Birthday cgm! (And kudos to sluggbugg for the best card.)</p>
<p>I’m ordering something strong so that I can confess. I hit my DD’s car in the driveway as I backed out of the garage. Before you say “it could happen to anyone”. . . . it gets worse . . . . I did it not once, but twice in three nights. </p>
<p>A gentle tap a couple of night’s ago. The second time it was such a gentle swipe I didn’t even know I’d done it. That is, until I got a call at a restaurant, “Dad, someone hit-and-ran my car.” After we figured out where it hadn’t happened, it dawned on me: I’d done it again. Oh well, only my second claim in 30-some years.</p>
<p>Make mine a double.</p>
<p>Plus a piece of apple bourbon cake Marathon Dad?</p>
<p>Oh weenie…it happens or will happen to the best marmot lovers in the world.</p>
<p>mstee, I’m having bourbon too. Here’s to CGM. Bottoms up!</p>
<p>Marathonman! I thought that the kids did that! I remember backing into a visitor’s car that was parked behind our car, blocking the driveway, when I was a teenager. He never parked there again.</p>
<p>Weenie – me too, and I feel the same way 
</p>
<p>SBmom – okay, here’s to CGM, again! Clink! Slurp . . .</p>
<p>MarathonMan88, The next time that your DD parks there she needs to ask you “Is it safe?” ;)</p>
<p>Happy Burpday to you. Happy Burpday to you. Happy Burpday dear CGEMMMMMMMM. </p>
<p>Sorry, bourbon does that to me:).</p>
<p>Bourbon?? Did someone in SA say bourbon?? I heard you singing all the way over in the Parents Forum!! Happy bday CGM!</p>
<p>Thanks everyone…its now the time I start counting backwards…we are celebrating on the weekend…</p>

<p>bringnig my own wine this year though, sneaking it in a water bottle…</p>
<p>happy birthday! why wait til the weekend? celebrate today!</p>
<p>MMan: on hitting one of your cars with another one of your own cars–my H did that very slightly the other morning–wasn’t used to the 3rd car being in the driveway. Wouldn’t be any point in filing a claim with the insurance company–your rates would just go up. Next time try to hit the car of someone OUTSIDE the family. lol</p>
<p>Actually once I hit my husband’s car with my car <em>in a public parking lot</em>– can you imagine the odds of that happening?</p>
<p>Ouch. Did you leave a note?</p>
<p>Hmmm, was your H well treated for the next year or so?</p>
<p>For she’s a jolly good girlie, For she’'s a jolly good girrrrrlie… <em>hiccupp</em></p>
<p>SB…you’re a worry…LOL.</p>
<p>P2N, there was no need for a note, because we were meeting at a basketball game (which is why we both parked in the same lot).</p>
<p>mstee, mommusic and SBmom, THANK YOU! It’s good to know that I’m not alone. That we’re all doing this proves that it’s not just a sign of hitting the far side of middle age, right?</p>
