You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

What is even happening?

I knew it. You're the Anti-Auntie Mae, which, all things considered, is good.

Also, people at the party thought the cake was not ugly, although, I think they were just trying to be nice.

I need Nilly to come announce my birthday :)

vw, it's your birthday? Why hadn't you ever e-mailed me about it? It's not in the Buffista Calendar, with all the other birthdays, because I've never known about it!

Happy birthday! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year! You certainly deserve no less.

Happy cake day VW!

It's not? Wow! I can't believe I never did that. I'm such a birthday drama queen...gotta have all the attention I can get :)

Well, if you want me to, it will be now...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Hippo birdies to you, V-Dub!

I'm here in Scottsdale, AZ, where it is authentically warm (like 90) but dry enough in the AM that I've got my hotel room balcony door wide open so I can hear the mourning doves and sniff deserty air. It's not going to be a dry heat later, but for now it's pretty good-feeling.

I can't decide whether to try to go to the pool before breakfast starts at 7 AM. Yes, that's right, they really do start their day that early at the summer conferences... partly because so many of them are ex-schoolteachers, I think. Since my body is still on MA time, I'm less put out than you might think.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Happy Birthday, Ms. Bug!

I wish I had one of VWBug's carob cupcakes right now. So what if they were intended for Toto? Best use of carob I've come across yet! (Also, they're cow-free and vegan, so Jen and I both had an unexpected treat.)

A hummingbird just flew by my balcony. More bulletins as they develop....
