Another Birthday coming......

It's my birthday tomorrow. It's easy to remember. You know how? The cards.... they come FLOODING in.... you can't stop 'em. Can you say "Noah"? The mail person says she HAS to deliver them all... it's her job. She'd probably get fired if she held some back....


So far I've been overwhelmed with my first three, and my birthday isn't until tomorrow. The first one was from my dentist office. I didn't realize it, but apparently I'm a special patient. (I try hard to be friendly and courteous when I'm in there, and not cry (too much), but I didn't realize how special that made me...) It looks like all the staff took the time to sign my card as well. That must have been a real hassle for them to have to stop everything to sign my card like that. That DOES give me a special feeling though. I'm assuming they all signed it..... apparently they all used the same black pen.


My second card was from my insurance agent. She asked me to celebrate and have a "wonderful" birthday. I think she also signed this one herself, because the other printing was black and red, and apparently she used a blue pen to sign my card. She runs the entire office and takes the time to sign MY birthday card. It doesnt' get any better than this. And how could there be an ulterior motive? Very soon they won't be insuring my house, as they're pulling out of the state.


My third card, (and I'm assuming more will come pouring in here soon, as my actual birthday isn't until tomorrow..... so I don't even want to TRY and predict the final total....) was from Southwest Airlines. Can you imagine an airline that I've only flown 3-4 times taking the time to send me a card on my birthday? Me neither.


If I have the time (I'm sure you understand), I'll try and keep you updated as more come in.... this is going to be a pretty exciting time around the Steen house for the next couple days....

Oh, and finally, my wife found this cartoon in the paper today, and thought of me immediately. I didn't think it was that funny.....
