11 - What can I do with this by everyone Barb had mini M&M bottles and we gave her all kinds of ideas. Lark had 100's of the AOL tins and gave them away and we came up with some ideas for them too

	Here is a cute story... Karen thought since Maggie always gets her for her birthday, she thought this year.. she would get Maggie first.. since her birthday is first. So Karen emailed all the gals and told them.. we are going to the Ponderosa for supper Friday night.. and telling them that it is Maggie's Birthday... and So we did. When Karen got there she arranged for them to bring me out a BIG ICE CREAM SUNDAY told them to make a BIG fuss about it.. as it was my 53rd Birthday.. So here they come banging on pots and pans.. and making lots of noise.. I turn to see what it was all about... and there was 2 girls bearing TWO BIG ICE CREAM SUNDAYS. Ha Ha Ha Karen it backfired on you.. as the other girls got there first and told them there was 2 birthdays not one... It was so funny.. you should have see Karens face... I told her it was not nice to mess with your elders. :) Thanks Karen for the great Surprize anyway.. love ya sissa.
