Birthdays...

I stopped getting REALLY excited about my birthday several years ago...and this one is no exception.  Turning 34 is pretty uneventful, and experiencing my first birthday without my dad is tough.  What's really strange about this birthday is that my dad bought me a birthday gift several weeks before he died...which is not the norm.  Those of you who are friends on Facebook probably see me often post about how ready I am for the weekend...so my dad's last gift to me was a mug he found on his travels that says "Is it Friday yet?"  How appropriate.
