(((Antonia))) - Way to go on the birthday celebration - that way if you do get papers that day you can focus on somethine else. My sister got served on her birthday a couple years ago (after 30 yrs of marriage) - not much worse, unless it is REALLY what you want.
I've been looking toward Valentine's day and am thinking I will send myself and my co-worker flowers. I know I won't get them otherwise and her H won't send her any. Nothing wrong with treating myself either!!!
Focus on YOU!
