ok done

now that i'm done with my bout of insanity, for some happiness:

my nephew (aided and abetted by my brother and sister-in-law), who is 3, just called me...and said 'eppeeee birthhhhdey' and then 'bye djujoulie'...the odd spellings don't do the cuteness justice, but it was adorable. my other nephew and my niece couldn't talk because they were at school...at which point i realized that max was born half my life ago, which is just so odd to think about.

anyway, hurray for having talked to mama, papa, various purring cats, declan, nate, and mindy all in one day!!!!!

going out later tonight with my partners in crime, who have schemed up a plan pour ce soir. it is a surprise. i get to wear a skirt...yay!
