Yes, my heart still refers to him as 'my baby', and today is his birthday.
I've been having a tough time this past month (since our last exchange and he said I am letting go), but this week has been BAD. I guess knowing today was coming, and knowing I wouldn't be with him, and missing him a million...
...I sent him that card above. I don't know if it was appropriate or not, but it is truth.
Every single word.
Happy 33rd, baby.
I will always love you, and I miss you terribly.
Oh, my mutha, Helene!
She was/is gorgois!
Yesterday was her 55th.
Wowwee.
Happy Birthday, mamacita, and many more!
♥ ♥ ♥
Love, ya adult dawduh,
The sweet-sixteener had two dresses.
Her parents made an entrance to SHOTS! with bottles of Blue Label in their hands.
The father of the birthday girl danced a slow, serious dance with his daughter,
then busted out of his tux jacket, slipped on a fedora, and belted
Bruno Mars's "Just The Way You Are" to her!
Mucho cousin-bonding.
Loads of fist-pumping.
Laughing, dancing, hugging, Vine-ing.
Oh, and I wore this.
A large bulk of my brood was over to celebrate my Gramsy-pie turning 80. It was a lot of fun, as you can see in the pics above.
Her birthday cake wish was that we'd all be doing the same thing ten years from now, when she turns 90.
I couldn't agree more.
Happy Saturday, lovie bops!
xOxO,
My little sister is 24 today, and yes, we celebrate that she was born on this day and all balloons and butterflies and all that, but also on this day...
...I personally and silently celebrate the coming of my soulmate,
my little present from the heavens of a lifelong
companion in the form of my sis.
For 24 years, I've had someone who makes me laugh harder than anyone ever, really,
who sings so I can dance and dances when I sing,
who knows me like no other, and
makes all the same associations and connections.
She's is here, and she's been here for 24 years.
Happiest of Birthdays, my sister!
See her instagramed present from me here.
My birthday brunch was yesterday and if you ask me, it was a great success. With teacher-work being all encompassing this time of year, it's easy to forget that you have friends that aren't of the 4th and 5th grade variety.
Yesterday was a great reminder that I do, and they're awesome.

Good morning, readers and peepers. Today's my birthday.
Yesterday, however, was my Birthday Eve, and it consisted of...
...SNOW.
Over a foot of it on the ground. Thick, heavy, slushy snow on the tree branches, weighing them down, swooping them low...
It was also the first time the cats went out in the snow, and it was nothing short of hilarious.
I don't believe they liked it (see face above).
Later on in the evening, after a chicken pot pie meal, my sis, my cousin, and I soaked our feet in our jacuzzi bath tub and had a fun, singing, mani/pedi night.
I told the girls they had to put 'birthday sparkles' on their ring fingers. ;)
We let them dry over chatting, laughing,(farting...thanks to my bitt), and tea. It was a sweet, sweet time.
When I layed down to close my eyes, my cute cuddle buddy joined me, and it felt like special birthday snuggles. :*)

This morning, I woke up, and found balloons.
I feel incredibly grateful for reaching 28.
I feel incredibly grateful to have my family at arms reach.
I feel incredibly grateful for my blessings as I enter this new year of limitless possibilities.
Thank you.
28.
My birthday's on Friday, and all I want is a typewriter.
Yeah, forget this list. Just toss it. Nothing on it (not even the Cameo) would do it for me.
I want a working, functioning (and cute wouldn't hurt) typewriter.
After some research, I found info on Gramercy Typewriter...see reviews at Yelp.com
I also read an article called So you want to buy a typewriter, eh? here because I do, and it would be all kinds of awesome.
Then I saw this video featuring the man in charge of Gramercy Typewriter on vimeo and fell more in love:
A New York Story - "Gramercy Typewriter" from Prospect Productions on Vimeo.
(I get a bit teary-eyed seeing NYC in this video after what the news has been showing lately.) :'(
So...
28th Birthday Wishlist: streamlined.
Just one awesome working typewriter, birthday fairy.
Please & thank you.
We'll see what 28 brings.
Have a happy Saturday!
...and the rain from her is supposed to start tonight. Supposedly.
I came across this comic this morning.
It made me think of what we might have in store of the next 2-3 days and I'm like Wally in the green sweater: I'm fond of a family inside/hurricane outside type deal.
There's even been talks of school closings Monday or Tuesday, and secretly, I'm hoping for it. I don't wish harm on my city or on anyone's property, but an extra day would be nice.
I'm DYING TO CRAFT something! If there is no school tomorrow I'm going to spend my Monday in my craftroom, crafting away, PLng |week 42 &43|...
...that would be nice.
A day.
Grant me a day.
Happy Sund, wherever you are!
