*~* 9 February - Happy Birthday Shakira Babe, Lil Sport Queen, and SassyGirl! *~* Hey,Hey,Paula

There’s chocolate on my keyboard,

and icing in my hair.

Streamers hang from speakers,

and music fills the air.



I tried to send you a cake,

With candles to come alive.

But I couldn’t get it to slide,

Into my old hard drive!



So next time I’ll try the CD,

But for now we’ll settle for this.

Visualize a luscious cake,

And all that birthday bliss!



Happy Birthday to you!

Thought for the Day:

Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

Abraham Lincoln
