Happy Birthday inyadreems! It's a couple hours early here, but right on time six or so time zones to the East...

I hope you have a happy one full of love from family and friends!

(P.S. I just received your lovely card in the mail--I think I recognize the photo, or am I hallucinating? It cheered my flagging holiday spirit!)

Little Girl climbed into bed with us last night and insisted on sleeping largely on top of me, thus insuring that I woke up about every ten minutes. Perhaps this is why I remember my anxiety dream so clearly--it seemed to last for hours.

A little bit ago, as I was walking up to the entrance of my favorite restaurant, I rounded a sleek,black pickup truck and happened to glance at its license plate: VADER. *heh* And the truck had little Darth Vader head decals on the rear window in case there were any doubt... How cool is that! Within 10 seconds of my happy little squee, my ( Read more... )

I'm off to the beach tomorrow for a week of sun, sand, and family togetherness! Good thing I like my family. :) Anyway, here's hoping LJ doesn't explode while I'm gone...
