Birthday Meme

I am seriously lacking in the creative blog entry department as of late. So in order to spare you the suffering of another rambling entry about how I did nothing but sit at my computer and work all day, I decided to head on over to Tink's blog and blatantly steal a Meme that she, in no way, shape, or form tagged me for. (Thanks for that Tink. You're a real pal, lemme tell ya...) So here ya go. My latest non-creative, uninteresting blog entry. [sigh]
