On May 17th 1978, a Wednesday, my beloved mother spent 17 hours in labor with me.  I was born at about 3 in the afternoon. Thank you Mom! :-) I’m planning to spend today with my husband, and he’s making me a fabulous dinner and cake. I’m SURE to post some pictures! :-) Here are some stats about today, just cause I can! :-)
