OK, have to give a quick update. The birthday-day in Lancaster wasn't all. Last night DH surprised me with a party with friends & family (probably around 30 people or-so). Got lots of nice things, and lots of cash! In fact, a few people gave me $40 - one for each year I'm alive. ;) Turned out I got quite a nice stash. SO now I have spending money for another trip to the Old Country Store. I'm stoked. That was so sweet of my dear hubby, even though he knew I wasn't crazy about a surprise party we had a lot of fun. AND I got to go sleigh-riding, too. Don't really feel like I'm 40.
