Topping the news this morning here at Stumbling Grace, is it’s Ma’s Birthday!!! Actually it was Ma’s Birthday a couple of days ago, but since I am a firm believer in the Birthday WEEK, we still have time to head over to Tutu’s Bent Hale and wish her a Happy Birthday! Love you Ma! I hope you had/have a wonderful Birthday week! Be sure to continue to keep Ma’s husband Charley in your prayers as he recovers from pneumonia.

As I am on the prayer list, please continue to prayer for Che at the Shattered Prayer, as well as all of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Where they are still discovering the extent of the disaster. God Bless the Gulf Coast with some peace, as they start to try and rebuild their lives and communities.

A message to spammers: You scum sucking pigs, GO A WAY!!!! Stealing bandwidth should be a crime. Spamming comments section is Bull shit as well. No one wants you on their blogs. Personally, I am keeping a tab of spammers and companies throwing pop-ups out on the internet. I will NEVER purchase or use your business in any form!! NEVER. Ever. All of you are a nuisance and a plague on the internet community!

Now for some good news. My girlfriend Jenny had her baby! I am thrilled for her and her husband Scott! Baby Conor John was born August 30th around 7:30 AM. Little Conor weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces at 20 and 3/4” long! I went over to visit mom and new baby last Thursday. Little Conor is positively beautiful with a full head of hair! Mom was looking a little on the tired side, as would be expected. Took some pics of mom,baby and dad and will eventually put them up on my photo album. Can’t wait for Jenny to recuperate, and baby to get a little bigger, so they can come visit. Congratulations to Jenny and Scott, and to Conors brothers Mitchell and Mathew!

To my girlfriend Delta in Washington State, Happy Birthday! I suck at remembering exact dates, but I know it’s this week! And my Birthday WEEK theory covers my ass on forgetting exact dates. (In my mind anyway) Delta turns 42 years young this week. Love you girlfriend!

On the Birthday list this month is also my little satans spawn Riley. He will be a whopping 10 years old on September 9th. I had his Birthday party this last Saturday, making it easy with an ice cream cake and pizzas and chicken. With it being the Holiday week-end, not all of the invitees showed up. (Thank God for small favors!) But enough of a group of 10 year olds to make it a true celebration of noise and chaos!  Also in attendance was his dad and his grandmother Margie. (His dads mom) Robby and Cheryl (my son and his girlfriend) were in charge of lifeguarding the pool and coordinating pool games for the awesome prizes I picked up off a clearance rack in Target. God bless Target’s Clearance rack! At the end of the party I handed out my famous Birthday party goodie bags, that although they do not rival the goodie bags handed out to stars at the Oscars, are pretty awesome if I do say so myself!
