THANK YOU ALL for the "virtual" party and well-wishes!
As to the meal...Debi FORGOT (she's up to her ears in finals), so I had...fish sticks and baked beans.

However, while we were consuming this sumptuous repast, she suddenly remembered

and PROMISED to get it for dinner tomorrow.
So, I spent most of the day battling Paolo from Rome

, combing my face (have a few more white hairs!

) and watching ANYTHING except "hormone/male-bashing" channels for once!!!
THANK YOU AGAIN...it means a LOT to me.
