"What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?"

Goodmorning! As you brace yourself to face the day, it looks like AWS is down, a timely reminder not to put all your net services in one cloud! Grab a hot mug of your favorite beverage and conquer the day!

When I was growing up, I didn't expect to see 30 (no idea why). Now I'm approaching 50 and life is weird, yo.
Happy Monday, Happy Birthday to me!

Eldest step-kid/middle kid turned 13 this week, and today is his party. When probed, he requested store-bought cupcakes for his birthday day and homemade lemon cake with cream cheese frosting for his party (today).
Husband says it's perfect, I'm working on believing him. (B-day kid is still asleep)
