I just realized, that if everything goes according to plan, I'm gonna get to share my brithday cake (which normally I'd forgoe, but mom says there must be cake) with my nephew. He is obsessed with birthday cakes. Toddler on sugar! SO MUCH FUN!

Both cats stole my pillows this morning. Waking up with cats who barely tolerate each other flanking your head and staring at you is a bit much.

sara, when is your birthday?

Next sunday. Normally it is low key, but since I'm going to be visiting my parents, there'll be more of a hullaballoo. Especially if my brother and nephew make it.

hullaballoo

OK, I like this word.

Sharing (or even only almost sharing) a birthday with a nephew sounds like fun, at least to me - what with his enjoyment of the whole thing.

It really does sound fun, Sarameg. I hope it works out.

The great thing about going to bed early is that even if you sleep in (10 hours, whee) you don't lose half the day.

I am beyond happy that the rain predicted for today has now been pushed until tomorrow. I need today to be my productive day and tomorrow to be my rest day at home.

Ahhrg. T just called to ask if I could help her do her hair. Honestly? I've never done braids or parted or anything to black hair. I'm pretty convinced I'd fuck it up so I told her I didn't know how (they've got some thing they are going to tomorrow and frankly, it looks nice tonight.) I felt bad. But really, I don't know anything about care for anything other that pretty straight hair except some of my coworkers talking about how brittle their hair is and last thing I want to do is bald the child! Help?

sarameg, I skipped like a mad thing, but you should have called me! I would have been happy to help. Hell, I practically held seminars in college -- "Black Hair and Why It's Different From Yours"

Hah! She did manage to do it herself, thankfully.
