So my birthday is on Saturday. Doug asked me what I wanted for my birthday and it got me to thinking … I have no clue this year! Usually I’m looking forward to the big day for a month. Thinking about all the things I could get.
I would LOVE an iPad.
On a side note – a good, no great, friend, Jamie wrote Apple to see if they would donate an iPad since it brought me such comfort while Owen was in the hospital. (My sister loaned me hers while I was there.) They said they were “uninterested in donating to such a cause at this time.” While it didn’t bother me … heck I’m just another mom like you … I think Jamie will forever protest Apple products. I love you Jamie. xoxo
Ok back on track … Since I know it’s not realistic to think I’ll get an iPad … I’ve been trying to think of something else.
I’ve got nothing.
Orange winter clothes since all my orange shirts are short-sleeved? Orange running shoes from Famous Footwear? (I got a pair from Kohl’s but they are too small … boo!) A website class? I’ve been interested in learning more since we only touched on web design in college.
Here’s what I came up with … for my birthday will you vote for my blog on parents.com? There is a pink badge in the right hand column o click. Then click the purple “vote” button. The leading blog has 441 votes … this blog has 130. It would make my DECADE for me if we win.
Call me greedy … call me selfish or competitive … but I really want to win 
I can bear my sorrow of loosing Owen … is it ok to say how competitive I can be?
So … if you feel moved, vote for this blog … please?
Ok enough with the begging … let’s get to celebrating one more year under my belt.
Love, Mel
