Happy Birthday!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

I have hit 35 years on April 20th. Funny think, when I was my daughter's age (13) I thought 35 was O L D. Now that I'm 35, it doesn't seem that old.

My mom and dad took me out to dinner last night and had a big fat rare steak. I kept my string alive with lottery tickets. I never buy lottery tickets but whenever someone gives me some, I win. My sister-in-law Anette and my sister Dawn both bought me some scratch off tickets and I won $6! I know, not a bank roll but I still won. I'm still waiting for someone to buy me a Mega-millions ticket. I promise, I'll share.

My daughter, Taylor, has began her soccer season. (Here comes the proud dad) Last week, she was named the MVP of the game. She played goalie all game and the other team must have shot on goal at least 20 times. She was able to stop all but one. The defense was collapsing and this team was a very aggressive shooting team. Our team only shot three times on their goal and scored once. So, our scoring percentage was higher but we tied. Oh well, to walk away from a game like that with a tie is a good thing.

We're still working on our living room. Most of the drywall is up, and most of the painting is done. I say most because after removing one of the walls I noticed some water damage. I did some temporary repairs to the roof, but it didn't rain for a week or so. Well, it rained yesterday and the water is still coming in to the house. I'm glad I didn't put up the new drywall. It would just be wet drywall now. I was planning an addition on the back of the house and this now has accelerated my plans. I see $$$$!

Enough for now - I'll catch ya later.
