Happy Birthday @Barb102

I had set a reminder on my phone to remember to wish you a Happy Birthday, Barb....when it went off, I was so disoriented that I thought I had to go to work.  I looked at the reminder and got up and fed the cats and made my coffee and came back into my room.  I went to set my coffee down on my dresser and I have no idea what happened but I spilled the ENTIRE cup onto my bedding, into my dresser drawers, and a little on my phone and my computer top.  I had just changed the sheets a couple of days ago.  I will not tell you the stream of profanities that came out of my mouth but I am sure you can imagine.  I have been doing laundry since then and I did not get any coffee because I only made enough for one cup and I refused to make any more.  

I REALLY hope that you are having a beautiful birthday Barb102‌ and know that I am thinking of you.

Ellen

UPDATE: CORRECTION...BARB'S BIRTHDAY IS THE 27TH, oh well nothing like a few greetings in advance, right?
