Do You BLUE?

My husband, Michael, and I just celebrated our second wedding anniversary. We are a combined family of five children and one grandchild. My husband works full-time and I have a home office, attend school full-time online and stay home with our youngest child who just turned one. Needless to say, we don’t get out much.

He made arrangements for his mother to babysit, sent me shopping for a dress, and took care of planning the rest of the evening. The result… A fabulous dinner at Mamma Maria’s in Boston and tickets to BLUE MAN GROUP!

Yet millions of people will be celebrating today by playing tricks on their family, friends and co-workers.  I must ask myself, who’s brilliant idea was this? As is usual, I did a little research…
