Happy, er...Crappy Birthday

It began to rise 
Within its confines
Swelling past the edge 
Then spilling over
Into one tear
That turned into many
Forming a river
Of sadness

... and it was a Happy, er .... Crappy Birthday!

Denise,
First of all...at the expense of your crappy birthday...I have to say I love the metaphor of a river overflowing it's banks, but I am sorry you had a bad one! Next year will be better I hope.

There are things I totally flop at. We've discussed this before . . . but somehow, this years *crappy* birthday really takes the cake, doesn't it? I mean, look at the entire picture. Toss in a missing pup and a far away hub, and well, it's a recipe for disaster. Wasps included.

{{{hugs}}}

Hi Denise, hope things are better today!!

How cool, though, we share birthdays! I'm a 63 vintage. A good year, but still needs aging, I think....

Take care, Karen
