You are such a doll.
And I’m so ordering that Tshirt, thanks for the link.
I could easily go back to childhood right now. Easily. It’s been another week from hell. I appreciate your thoughts. Love you.
Mmmm – my gift is not kitty-related. And you’d know that if it EVER got to you ; ) Tomorrow – at your home, I believe.

1. Someday I’ll get my miraculous creative gift-giving sense back, and not have to use money to bail me out of a desparate birthday situation. You’re welcome. 😉
2. Did you notice that your book list sort of reads like the “ordering videos” scene in _Clerks_? I have to wonder about a 5th-grader walking around with a copy of your book list:
“Whatcha reading, honey?”
“Stories.”
“What kind of stories? Oh, Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle! And Harry Potter, of course. And… oh, my…”

Can I add a book to your list for the fifth grader to grab? Any and all of Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpannts series – oh my God they are just soooo silly and funny and guaranteed to make you miss being ten years old.
Mmm, enjoy that massage, my sweet. And the pottery class? What a dear man, whether he believes it or not.
I want to say more, but I am too beat from work to be coherent.
Love,
