Continued Birthday Week Shenanigans…

My birthday WEEK is over. Even if it did stretch to over 10 days of celebrating. I took a couple days off "work" to hit up Akron (and my sister)... and opted for a little change. And I'm not talking about those stupid gold coins the vending machine refunded me from putting in a $10 bill. *grumble* {open post for more... and PICTURES!)
