OT> On the way back from Orlando, I knew I wanted to stay at the tall Westin Peachtree . . you know the round one in Atlanta that is 73 stories high? But I couldn't remember why I wanted to stay there. . . other than the fact that I've been treating the kids to the highest hotel room in every major city we visit. . .but there was something else, I couldn't quite put my finger on. . .it wasn't until minutes after checking out on Sunday afternoon, when my wife heard someone mention the date of March 26. . .when she blurted out during our lunch at Mick's. . ."My birthday was yesterday!!". . .it was one of those numbers you WANT to forget anyway. . .but Saturday came and went with all 6 of us completely forgetting. We laughed long and hard having already celebrated ourselves into a stupor at the many Disney parks.

The reason for our oversight must have had something to do with Saturday's saying 'good-bye' to the beautiful state of Florida. . .and to the eldest son, which we flew back to California that morning. . .or the 2 hours of silence that followed seeing him off. . .or the singing to our favorites after a CD shopping spree in Gainesville. . . .or the rushing into Atlanta to meet the HOME thread's Julie [JLS] and her very interesting hubby. . .or perhaps it was simply that we lost track of the days.

But immediately as my wife reminded us of the day, it donned on me that the reason I had booked that hotel had mostly to do with the special dinner for her in the top floor revolving restaurant that I had planned. . . however, due to the week at Disney, mouse droppings must have found their way into my brain. . .

Fortunately, I had given my wife "everything" for her birthday. . .just not ON her birthday. . . so we just laughed and laughed. . .and she laughed hardest.
