Quiz results, my birthday, and love

Well, thanks for taking my quiz.  I have a 30 gallon aquarium that has very few fish.  My fresh-water shark has grown to about 5 times his original size.  He's huge, and although he's friendly, he's eaten some smaller fish.  Time to buy larger fish.  Although my shark is huge, my plecostomus (scum sucker, or lawyer, for those of you who don't know fish,) is bigger.  He's almost scary, he's so big. 

My dogs deserve more than Ol' Roy.  They don't deserve much more than Purina, though, so that's what they get.  Hawkeye is the best dog in the world, I don't care what you say, and Lucy will spend her days on the back porch until she is FREE of accidents.  She's close, but no cigar.  All evening, all night, all morning, and all weekend, she's in here with us.

I don't own cats.  When I had that affair with Russ, he wasn't paying attention.  I used to have cats, but no more.  I sold them to gypsies and am now cursed by dog hair.  You take a chance, dealing with gypsies.  I only have dogs and fish.

Hawkeye sleeps on the couch when he thinks nobody is looking, and the hair tells the tale.  His hair is everywhere, no matter how much you clean.  He's worth it.

OK, that's the end of the quiz.  Sue, I'll be there tomorrow around 6, and I like cheap beer, so the "drinks" shouldn't be too much of a problem.  I eat anything, too, so any dinner is fine.

It's my BIRTHDAY!  I got many cards, ecards, and well wishes at work.  I also got Diet Coke, Pringles, a candle, a new blanket (my desk is in a COLD spot in the lab, and my old blanket was ragged,) and lunch with a friend. I came home to grilled burgers (I've been craving them since the weather got nice,) and name brand beer (I usually drink VERY cheap beer.)  Kevin and the kids are being awesome, and I'm having a great day!

Love is:

1. Your mom posting about your birthday before you're even awake.

2. The puppy trotting to your room, seeing you're not there, and letting her tail droop until you call her name from the next room.

3. Your 11 year old calling in birthday wishes to your favorite station before 6:30 am.

4. Your 9 year old singing Happy Birthday on the radio after 6:30 pm.

5. A husband who would do anything for me.  He would live or die for me.  He would give in to my whims and cook burgers while his body aches non-stop.  He always asks what I think before making a big decision, and he just...plain...loves me.

One more thing:  I've noticed that my annual post on Mom's journal was short-lived.  All it took was a Monday Photo Shoot, a Quiz, and a comment from my selfish brother to drop my entry to the bottom. :(  SHE'S ALWAYS LIKED JIM BETTER!!!! ::pout::

OK, I'm over it.  Jim, there is HELL to pay on your birthday, big bro.  I'll do something so incredible that she'll FORGET your entry altogether!  HA!

You're like a fine wine. Better the older you get.  But like wine, sometimes you give me heartburn. I love you.

Your adoring husband

Oh, and Hawkeye IS the best dog in the world.  I don't love him best, but he's a good dog.
