…ever since Jeff got his new camera, I’ve been letting his photography speak for us both. Usually when I post, pictures are by me, but as of late, most are from him. So hats off to you, Mr. Hayford, for letting me use your photos of our life. Thank you for documenting so well.
Mary: your birthday was wonderful. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Happy 24, darling, and happy many more. You are radiant, and being your friend makes the world a brighter place.
…you really look great tonight…you color up my life!
What up, guys? It’s Kate’s birthday. I gab about her all the time, and how awesome she is, and how she’d cut a bitch if I needed her too, but also could copy edit your book into a masterpiece. She’s shiny, pretty, funny, and makes a good sandwich and a good vodka tonic.
Happy Birthday, Katie. I miss you. Your present(s) is on its way. In the meantime, please enjoy this joke:
A blond woman calls her boyfriend, and says, “Hey, can you come over and help me do this puzzle? It’s really hard.” The boyfriend says, “Sure, what is it a puzzle of?” The girlfriend says, “It’s supposed to be a tiger, it says.”
So the boyfriend goes over, sees the pieces scattered all over the table, and says, “Oh hun. First of all, this is never going to resemble a tiger. Secondly, let’s grab a cup of coffee and I’ll help you put the frosted flakes back in the box.”
I love you, sorella. Enjoy your day.
