I need more cake

The day after a really good birthday is sort of a bummer. Kind of a let down. It’s like right after you finish the last brownie in the pan, or, in M’s case, the second you polish off your last ketchup-ham sandwich at Christmas.

O Happy Day

Ahhh, the Big Day. My Day of Birth. The excuse I have for everyone to pay special attention to me! (Because, you know, I like it to be all about me!)

Pre-Birthday Gifts

Sometimes it takes a catastrophic event (like a looming birthday) to shake things up and show you that you’re one of the luckiest girls in the world.

The bright side of a dark day

I subscribe to several different e-newsletters from marketing sources, motivational speakers, etc. One I received this morning had this quote: “I’m smiling because you’ve finally driven me insane.” I think that’s hilarious.

New roads

Okay, okay. Since M isn’t real keen on calling everyone we know and telling them his news, I’ll just go ahead and post it here.

Gratitude

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
-John Fitzgerald Kennedy

My homage

Baseball isn’t what it used to be
And perhaps it’ll never be the same
Retro ballparks and vintage jerseys
Really aren’t enough to bring it all back
Yet, somehow, the fans keep returning…
