Starting the morning with a boatload of compliments? Not a bad thing. You guys are the sweetest.

You rock bangs better than anyone I've seen.

hee! Thanks! It's really my crazy lady hairdresser who makes them work for me. We had, like, a twenty minute conversation about how to do my bangs this time. There are many options. I couldn't really decide so she played Psychic Hairdresser and gave me the blunt cut. I am happy! Also, I think I'm going to stick with jet black as my hair color for a long, long time. Like until I'm an old lady. I am really loving it.

I think a WHOOT!!! is in order for billytea, yes? WHOOT!!!

Anne! I was in your old 'hood at a party on Sunday. There was some street fair going on but I didn't make it to that. I miss you being in the area!

I forgot about the large amount of wooooooooooooing for billytea!

Happy Birthday, Polter-Cow!

Congrats, Billytea!

First - Happy Birthday Polter Cow!!!

{{Kristin}} I hope you were able to get some rest and that the chiro fixes you quick.

Lisah has shiny hair, and pretty eyes, and a naughty cat.

She said yes! Oh, I like the sound of these words.

Lots of ~ma for vw and the vw mom.

Continued ~ma for Kittenish

I am so happy to read that you were able to see your niece Cass. Yay for the return of the niecelet!

I'm just gonna quote Laura. The gronk is too strong this morning to think of words on my own.

Okay, that was a bunch of post consumption without the benefit of cut and paste.

To Trudy and Kara: Happy Belated Birthday Felicitations!

To Kristin: Did you ice? You need to ice. Ice.

To BT: Congrats!

To Cass: Happy to hear about the niecelet.

Congratulations, Billytea!

And happy birthday, P-C!

JenP, I'm so glad you're done with the treatments. May done=done for ever and ever, amen.

I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy about my current job (last day=Thursday). I'm not sure I want to spoil that by doing any actual work. That's valid, yes?

Deena, Kara's thank you message was one of the more precious things I've read in a long, long time. I love five. It's a very sweet age.

JenP, I'm so glad you're done with the treatments. May done=done for ever and ever, amen.

And now I'm quoting Calli.

That's valid, yes?

Anything that gets you out of work works for me.

Thanks, Cindy! It was so cute. She started dictating and I started typing, and she'd pause, so I'd put the period and the end quotes, and then she'd start talking again.

She said this was the best 5th birthday anywhere in the world ever! I was worried that it wouldn't be good enough. She wanted everyone in her class to go to a Chuck E. Cheese party, and we really couldn't afford that. But she got to play with her cousins for a couple of hours, get presents she really likes from the older relatives, go to Chuck's with her family--and big brother took her around to play all the games! She loves the birthday greetings from the board; she thinks that's the coolest thing ever. Finally, she got the Furby she's been wanting forever. So, very good birthday.

Before I forget. Happy Birthday, your Polter-Cowness!!

Deena, Kara is a rare delight. Which is not surprising at all considering her parentage. Also, I can not imagine any event you planned would be lacking in any way. Kara was smart enough to realize that; you need to wise up to your splendiferous ways, too!

Calli, you have the Bitches permission to develop short-timer's syndrome. Less work, more fun!
