Here is a picture of some of my birthday gifts:<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;re called super-balls, but I&#8217;m not sure why.\u00a0 What these animals do is bounce around on the floor for awhile, followed by a slow, meandering roll&#8230; While I truly appreciate and love my gift (and my human gift-givers), I&#8217;m not sure how I feel about the super-balls themselves.\u00a0 They are fun to play with for the most part, and I admit that I enjoy chasing them around the kitchen and pawing at them to make them move faster.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><object

I&#8217;ve also seen these balls touch the ceiling a few times, which is higher than I can touch (unless I&#8217;m standing on the sideways couch).\u00a0 After a few seconds of that high energy bouncing, the super-balls must get very tired&#8230; At this point they&#8217;ll begin a slow, steady roll that seems to be without purpose.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve seen a super-ball roll behind the refrigerator and then just stop and wait.\u00a0 That was two days ago, and that same super-ball is still in the same spot, waiting&#8230; for what?\u00a0 To pop out and surprise someone, maybe?\u00a0 I won&#8217;t be surprised if that happens, I know that.\u00a0 Nice plan, super-ball.\u00a0 Now come back out from behind there and play.<\/p>\n<p>I received many &#8220;Happy Birthday&#8221; cards and wishes (many through Facebook- thank you to everyone who took the time to do that), but my favorite card came from Florida and had a drawing of a squirrel of the front cover.\u00a0\u00a0<a
