Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm hoping that two (2) e-cards for my father make up for the lack of a paper card. Der.

Susan, you should take a picture of Annabel's card -- it sounds adorable!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Happy Birthday, Dylan and javachik.

I have been ridiculously productive today and think the couch is all that will happen for the rest of the evening.

I got my hair cut and colored, my car washed, oil and transmission fluid changed, a pedicure, shopping at Target, shopping at Trader Joes, shopping at comic book store.

I'm now exhausted and cleaning the house is completely out of the question. Right?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Blueberry pancakes for breakfast

Cake and ice cream were apparently exhausting!

Then we opened some presents and finally had to go inside and rest. Whew!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy Birthdays, Dylan and javachik!

On my next birthday, can I have cake and ice cream and then a nap?

Me too, me too!

Happy Birthday javachik!

Not in order to contradict the beginning of this message, but it's morning. The beginning of a new week.

NOOOOOOOOOOO. Life, I do not want to have any contact with you right now.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I know it's already Day 2 of Year 2 where Dylan is, but here there's just time to slip in one last Happy First Birthday! The pancakes and exhausting cake and ice cream and the giant lion look amazing and delightful.

And, happy birthday, javachik! You are such an excellent person and I'm so happy to know you and have you as a localista, and if the coming year is even half as great as you deserve it will rock out loud every damn day.
