Gulp! So unless this little man decides to come earlier, that will be his birthday. Its kind of weird to have advanced notice. But kinda nice too. I&#8217;ve updated the ticker to the left. Only <em><strong>21<\/strong><\/em> days left. <em><strong>3<\/strong><\/em> weeks.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<strong>68<\/strong> &#8211; My age<\/p>\n<hr width=\"300\" align=\"left\" \/> Last week Bridget came over to me and said, &#8220;Guess what! I&#8217;m <em><strong>4<\/strong><\/em>, and you&#8217;re <em><strong>68<\/strong><\/em>!&#8221; Um&#8230; wow, <em><strong>68<\/strong><\/em>. How old does she think I look? lol. I told her that I was <em><strong>27<\/strong><\/em>, and that she was only <em><strong>3<\/strong><\/em>. Then she told me that she had another birthday in her room with her Polly Pockets, so now she&#8217;s four. Silly kid.<br \/>\n.<br \/>\n<strong>1.55<\/strong> &#8211; Price per gallon we paid for gas<\/p>\n<hr width=\"300\" align=\"left\" \/> Its so nice not to be paying <em><strong>$4+<\/strong><\/em> per gallon anymore. A couple of months ago, it cost me <em><strong>$69<\/strong><\/em> to fill my tank&#8230; disgusting! Saturday, it only cost <em><strong>$24<\/strong><\/em>. I think that prices are almost as low now as when I was in High School &#8211; nearly <em><strong>10<\/strong><\/em> years ago.

The tree alone consists of <em><strong>1450<\/strong><\/em> lights. And we&#8217;d like to add at least another <em><strong>1400<\/strong><\/em> to the tree next year &#8211; its a little bare.
