Well, okay, probably Hawkeye comes first but I'm pretty close!<br />I do work on my birthday though. But I think it's because the stuff I would like to do to celebrate (drinking to excess, what can I say, I'm still 21 inside) are weekend activities.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422365462021152556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4071987159907366396.post-91393603812118582752017-03-20T11:13:37.412-04:002017-03-20T11:13:37.412-04:00LOVE this - great rules - especially 8 & 9.
