21 years ago ... It was 2 AM, pouring rain, thunder and lightning caused power outages through out the city, and I go into labor. 4 hours later (and no drugs) I had a son. He was two weeks late, and went right to sleep after he was born. Today is my son's 21st birthday! Since he has a full load of college courses and it's a Monday, there won't be any big drinking and shenanigans. He's not a big drinker/shenanigans guy, though. He mentioned something about wanting to out for sushi with us tonight. By the way, he's still NOT a morning person.
Since a couple of you have asked, here a picture of the ring given to me by my husband's second cousin. It just occurred to me that it's about the same color as the September birth stone.
Yesterday's song:
No Complaints - Beck
PEACE

Happy birthday to son, and congratulations to you for raising a good man. The world needs more good men, so thanks for doing your part!
Leslie said it best. What a great tribute to your accomplishments as a mom that he's grown up so balanced and focused.
May he have many celebratory sushi dinners with you ahead of him, and may you always have ample reason to count your blessings.
Happy Birthday to your son!

He was a squished little guy! Heh... Hard to believe they grow so huge! The ring was an unexpected surprise. :)
Evelyne,
Thanks, and isn't it weird to have a "kid" that old??? I was stunned that she gave me the ring.
Dede,
He celebrated a little, but not like a drag out *party* -- Perhaps he'll do something else over the weekend. Thanks!
NSM,
There was a time when I wasn't sure if college was in his future, but he's attending without me prodding. I think it's because he found his niche. I love that ring!
Pat,
Thanks. He is a keeper. :)
Barbie2be,
Winner! It's not that he didn't drink, he had 1 beer, he just didn't want to get wasted.
