A Year To Go

It is ridiculously too late/too early to be sitting on the floor, laptop on lap, typing the events of the past week. 4:08am, to be exact. I actually fell asleep at 9:00 or something this evening because of an awful headache. (I've been getting them a lot lately, and I don't know why. I better start writing my letters again.) But I'm awake, and you are the beneficiaries of my insomnia. (Aren't you glad that talkative friends now have blogs to air grievances and musings? It seems to relieve our need to spew via phone or in person. Not that I'd be calling any of you at this hour without this blog, but you know...)

So, yesterday was my birthday. The big two-nine. Not thinking about that one too much, as I feel I still have another year to wear tube tops and short shorts,

pursue my dreams of becoming a candy raver,
(thank you, Escobedos, for inspiring me google image this for over an hour.)

and finally get those family portraits done that I've been meaning to do for so long.


and my favorite...
the caption to this one was "these kids and their fancy kneeshelves."

Oh, good golly. It's 5:00, and I've not even begun writing what I set out to write. This is proof that an hour can be wasted too easily. If you're interested in further wasting your time, read the exchange on the right column of this link.

"Aren't you glad that talkative friends now have blogs to air grievances and musings? It seems to relieve our need to spew via phone or in person." ---I'm one of those creepy, talkative, traditional friends who like to hear the beautiful voice of Ms. Dera White. I'm not cool enough to have a blog, not even a facebook page.

I'm meeting up with your brother on Friday. I'm looking forward in hearing about his love life. HAHA...ehhhh.

Alrighty, I'm writing to you on this blog thing because I didn't write down your new email address. Therefore, email me it. I put together this really cheesy slideshow of our vacation. It's a must see because it's really that bad and corny. But I look pretty! Hehehe. Hugs and love!

Happy Your Birthday! I hope there were lots of good parts and nice snacks.

I can not recall anything from my 29th birthday that does not instantly give me a headache.

I've started referring to my 4am insomnia as "me time."

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

How on earth did you manage to find those photos... awed silence, followed by hysterical laughter.

Um, that is, unless they're all of your extended family or something. In which case they're still funny, but also, endearing! and, heartwarming! or something.
