Let's kick it off a little early Edited to the 100

I had a brief e-mail discussion with Melissa the other day about something to do for her upcoming birthday (Saturday the 27th) and with her schedule we won't be able to do anything for a while and she said she was giong to milk this b-day for all it was worth. So I am putting out this post to start it a little bit early. ::me giggling::

I was trying to get to 100 but after a while it feels very repeditive. (You will understand in a couple of lines what I mean.)
