You Say It's Your Birthday (119/365)

 
"Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you."

Odgen Nash (American poet, 1902-1971). "Always Marry An April Girl."

PLACE: The kitchen
SUBJECT: Chalkboard birthday message

I am an April girl and today is my 42nd birthday.  I am sure you are all waiting with baited breath to hear what I kind of birthday present I received.  Well, apparently, my house thought that I didn't need one and decided to let our hot water heater shoot craps this morning.  So, approximately $1,200+ later, we now have a new direct vent tankless water heater and more importantly, hot water.  It's a 180,000 BTU unit with an 84.0% efficiency rating.  AND next April, we will get a 30% tax credit on our income taxes.  Woo hoo.  So I'm trying to look on the bright side, I really am. 
 
I would of rather had a bicycle though.
