I had forgotten that I started doing this last year and I've already ruined it by telling you how old everybody else is but I'm back on the ball now - so here it is again!

Well, she's waaaaaaay older than me, 3 years older....she could have been a month closer to my birthday, but she popped out a month early!! Her scheduled due date to be born was in February, she was little preemie!! Happy 58th Birthday, Brenda Starr!! (Here's a little known fact: Bren was named after a character in the comics that our dad liked, Brenda Starr...think about it! I could've been named Blondie!!)
So, who is Jerry Lawler?? Thanks for all the trivia...which is actually very trivial! You better watch out, little sister, don't give away all the family secrets!
hahahaha
Brendy (rhymes with Sandy)!
I wanna know who Carlos the Jackal is!!!
Ok, so now it is published that my mom is 58 and that Aunty Sandy is 3 years younger....Do you think that Mike will know how old his mom will turn this year when the time comes in August? Now THAT is the question! Cindi - be sure to test your husband come August 16th!
Hey, Laurie!! It's good to see your comment in here...you need to contribute more often! I'm betting Mike will remember how old I am THIS year! But I might forget! LOL!!
