It Was My Birthday, And You Wrote the Random!

Asking you guys to submit questions is like THE smartest thing I've ever done in my 47--no, wait--48 years.

I wish I could link each question to its creator, but I realized as people copied and pasted the links would not copy anyway, so if you would like to visit the person who created the interesting question you're answering, please see the comments section of yesterday's post. Clear as mud?

Anyway, thank you all. Happily, I received more than enough questions for this week, so I'll have leftovers for next week! Whee! If you are not included this week, please look for your question next week.

OK. Remember: Read and compose today, post tomorrow, link tomorrow and visit others. Please leave comments as you visit! Bloggers live for comments!

Birfday Request

It's my birthday, so in the words of Van Halen, "Might as well JUMP!"

Actually, I'm trying out my new compression socks that came in the mail Saturday. They are supposed to hold my calf muscles in place to avoid re-injuring my injury. Pretty sad when you are so old that you need surgical socks to hold your muscles together!!


Where was I?

Yeah, it's mah birfday; it's mah birfday.

I don't usually ask for gifts on my birthday, but I'd like to today: Will you send me a question that you would like to see on this week's Random Dozen list???

It would be simply grand if I didn't have to



so hard on my birthday.

Cause I'm too busy wearing my NEW RED SHOES which I purchased this weekend on a shopping trip with my Girls Group--woo2thehoo!!




It's not the first time I've done red shoes. Those of you who read here often have seen THIS photo once or twice:


Yikes, I promise not to wear white hose with these new ones.

In two years, I'll be eligible for the Red Hat Society, but until then, I'll just be rockin' these ruby slippers!

OK, so please make my birthday a happy, carefree one by submitting those questions in your comments here! Thanks!!!
