What I thought about on my winter vacation

Anybody want to help me make a mini-MUCK based on the Indian traditional version of Chutes and Ladders? I'm thinking themed rooms for all the vices and virtues, and a dice roller to take you through the hallways between...

I never got around to telling you all about my birthday. I may later, but for now, let me share that I have a GPS spiffy enough that I volunteered to do the driving to and from my inlaws, that I have a large bottle of a perfume called revelation that makes me smell like slighly underripe figs with honey drizzled on them, and that my son and husband made me a birthday cake with marzipan squid on top.

FYI

It's rare for me share my choices about charity publically, but I was alerted to the situation at this shelter right as I was in the middle of organizing my own year-end donations, and this particular thing touched me personally in a whole bunch of ways and is very time-dependent. Please go take a look, and if you feel so moved and are able, help these folks out.
