Last night, Jonathan and I were talking about the day Abigail was born.  We don’t ever want to forget the sounds, sights, smells, and emotions we felt on that day.  We’ve been thinking about it lately because she’ll be one year old in 10 days!  Wow.

Anyway, it made me remember a story I read  about a special birthday present a 6 year old boy received.  On his birthday, he opened a 4 ft package, and inside was his dad on leave from his second tour in Iraq.

Speaking of someone hidden inside a box . . . In Germany, a drug dealer escaped from jail by mailing himself in a cardboard box.  The box was about 4×5 ft.  He was picked up by an express courier, and after he was loaded onto the lorry, he cut “a big hole in the tarpaulin of the lorry and jump[ed] off.”  The driver alerted police after he noticed the tarpaulin flapping in the wind.

In other news, a former plastic surgeon had been fueling his cars with the human fat that was sucked from his patients.  This is illegal, at least in California, “because state law forbids the use of human medical waste to power vehicles.”  Huh, ya think!?

Another story is about a man who stole a camera from a woman who has inoperable cancer.  He had a change of heart when he saw the woman’s appeal to return the camera on the news.  She had been taking photos to put in a scrapbook for her kids so they could remember her after she passed away.  A few days after the story aired, the woman received a call from the man, saying he wanted to return the camera.

On Valentines Day, I was making a cake for the husband that needed buttermilk.  Well, Abigail was napping, so I couldn’t run to the store at that moment.  So, I checked to see if my Better Homes & Gardens Cook Book had a substitute suggestion for buttermilk.  Hallelujah it did!  So, I thought I’d let y’all in on some quick substitutions:
