it can suck.
but if we have to endure it (and we do)
let's at least embrace the fact that we can watch it's beauty (or a fire or a plate of brownies or crap tv) from the inside of our warm and cozy homes...
(you're welcome)
(poor sweet fishface)
78 more days of winter.
maybe less (thank you global warming)
maybe more (fuck you global warming)

the year was 2004.
the last day of 2004 to be exact.
6 years ago today.
new year's eve will never be the same.
not that i ever held much reverence for this day to begin with.
it has always been a major let down, party-wise.
nope, today will forever be your birthday.
i can't think about sparkle makeup and champagne when i have to think about princess icing, the perfect wrapping paper for your presents and is all this going to be good enough?!
as i said, i am ok with it.
for i love you.
more than the earth and all it's undiscovered parts.
more than wine.
i love that you could really give two shits about princesses and would rather go as a vampire or a monster for halloween.
i love that you sing songs while you pee so no one hears you peeing.
i love that you have an imaginary friend named ziggy.
and i also understand that this is bc you are painfully shy and having ziggy makes you less so.
i love when you sing and dance bc you do it in a funny way, not a scary "america's got talent" way...
i love that you love to draw more than just about anything.
(and i have saved every single piece of paper you ever put a crayon, pencil, paint brush or marker to.)
today you are 6.
six.
such a big, funny, sweet, complicated, brilliant girl.
don't take things so seriously my darling..
life can stink like a thousand butts but you have to push through..
it always gets better.
i love you.
happy birthday.
-mommy-
while i am aware that some of you would rather eat dry chicken with a side of crackers in the desert than read an interview on a blog..
i am pretty sure that doesn't include an "innerview" with yours truly...
yep..
my friend stephanie at little shop is innerviewing me in a series she calls "one thing".
go read it !!!
famous farts,
if you do (or are anywhere w/in a 200+ mile radius)
then you need to get your ASS down to vintage pink and buy these immediately or i will come up there and beat you with something heavy:
you might recall a certain lee kleinhelter at pieces inc. selling these exact chairs:
'cept lee's are 1700 dollars each.
those blue ones up there are 95 dollars each.
FUCK!!!!
go inquire.
i suspect these won't be there long so don't procrastinate.
you're welcome oregonians!
actually, i will see any and all terrence malick movies.
simply bc they are the most beautiful to look at of all.
i believe i read somewhere that the guy only uses natural light.
ever.
brad pitt does not hurt the cause.
also it looks like it would give you the goodcries.
the kind of crying that makes you want to be a better human.
