Very true. I'm always blown away by what the people close to me have done and often feel like my own coolness just doesn't measure up.

Pfft. Your coolness is the shizznit.

A friend once described me as "the coolest of the uncool". Which is one of the nicest compliments I've ever received.

That's a good thing, Fay. I can't imagine you throwing glitter whilst naked on any other day and time than Wednesday morning at 7:15.

Suzi, I'm with everyone else who says yay to living suzi. You'd be much less fun as a zombie, and really, it's all about the fun.

Kara says, "Oh, thank you, thank you all so much!"

She's getting frighteningly grown up. She asked for girly toys, but we'd already bought her a gamecube, so I was afeared. No worries though, she thinks it's the best. present. ever.

Dinner was her favorite: fettuccine Alfredo sprinkled with thick cut bacon, steamed asparagus, a salad with baby lettuce, tomato, apple, and dried cranberries, and as soon as I've finished my coffee, we're going to have chocolate cake with some sort of cream goo in the middle and thick fudge icing on top.

Fan tas tic! Yum! Deena, I think I may swing around to your place to wish Kara a happy birthday and steal some of that cake, what with it being Tree Day, and me being thus free to do what I please with my time.

....I promise I'll get dressed first. In something more than glitter.

Nooooooo!

Dinner sounds yummy, Deena. I couldn't believe how grown up Kara sounded on the phone today.

I'm envious of people who have heard Kara on the phone! (And incidentally, I totally get what Erika said about Kara reminding her of herself when she was wee. I can see that.)

Also, I notice that it looks like my 'Happy Birthday Trudy' post from yesterday didn't post. Crap. This dialup thing is so bloody unpredictable! Some things post, some things don't. Gah. Anyway - retroactively, Happy Birthday Trudy (and still Kara).

In my world, though, it's already Sunil Day. Happy Birthday, Sunil!

...so I've just put on the Hairspray soundtrack, and now I'm off to grind some coffee beans to brew some nice fresh coffee with cinnamon, what with it being, you know, Tree Day.

I propose lots more Tree Days for Fay. But without the big old trees, y'know, dying.

I'm envious of people who have heard Kara on the phone!

Kara is such a delight on the phone; I highly recommend it. When I told her she sounded like a big girl, she said, "Yeah, but I'll always be your favorite."

Tree Day is excellent, Fay!

I spent most of the day helping Vortex move stuff about. Her new condo is quite awesome! But sadly for her, all the wifi that is around (several, which is more than expected given that only one other person has moved into her actual building yet) is password protected. Sad.

But I fear it has stolen all my actual motivation to accomplish things of my own. Crap!

I think, if Kara grows up with half the talent Erika has, I will be blown away.

Fay, e-mail me your phone number and I'll have her call you. She can tell you how much she likes Nesma and the Beans.

eta: Bedtime (late for her birthday, actually). We'll have to try another time.
