The other day, husby and I were discussing DrK's upcoming birthday:
Husby: How old is DrK again?
Me: How old was she last year when we went to her birthday party?
H: Oh yeah, she was 40.
M: So how old is she going to be this year?
H: 40! Because ladies don't get older once they turn 40 do they?
What a shame that's not how it works for men! Happy Birthday Husby!

Getting those WIPS off the sticks
2011 - yellow jersey
A knitting tragic with more wool than time, plus crochet and of course great shoes. Plus other random stuff from time to time...
About Me
- Rose Red
- Shoes are my weakness. Plus fine wool and even better, when either are on sale. I'm a scorpio, myers briggs type ISFP (don't think I've ever knowingly met another one), favourite colour is red (clearly).

Happy Birthday Mr RoseRed, and what a keeper he is, what with all his birthday wisdom and all!!!
Happy Birthday Husby! He is such a supportive, understanding and loving husband. You're a lucky woman.
Smart boy! After a certain point, we keep celebrating, but quit counting.
Silly me, I thought we stopped at 29.
Your husby is brilliant!
Happy birthday Mr Rose Red!
