I have trouble enough keeping up with the Friday-Five....but i might consider the Thursday 13 too.....once I get back from California.
I love these sort of things.....!
Welcome to Thursday! It sounds like you have an eventful birthday. Only thing that really ever happened on mine was Chernobyl. Not a very happy occasion.
After the week we've had, it was nice to see the appendectomy included in your list.
