birthday post

good birthday.  good morning.  and walk in the park and bodega coffee and nice lady on the bus liked my earrings and other lady was so sweet and thankful that i gave her my seat of course i did she was old and had bags.  bought food for the week in the labyrinthine lines at trader joes in manhattan and read for a long while on the train.  im reading  the good wife by stewart o'nan and i'm enjoying it even though it is very sad.  it feels real and makes me glad i'm not married to someone who has done something to ruin my life.  i am glad to be married to me.  i take good care of my life.

i took the food home and ate and went to ps 108 and voted and walked around for a bit and saw brian and then looked at the computer.

i'm going hiking on the 13th.  i'm looking very much forward to that and to visiting my family this weekend upstate.

i had many birthday wishes today and they were all loved. especially mama and kara and annika calling to sing me happy birthday and my mama sang "baby noni" and i caught a cry in my throat because i know how much she loves me and she is my mother by choice not by birth but still my mother in every important way and i love her.

i am tired and i think i will sleep a while.  then i am going to go to the gym because i find myself with a surfeit of feelings and that is a good and constant outlet.

birthday bash!

i had my birthday party last night and it was great!  thanks to all my friends for coming and extra thanks to foley for hosting and extra double thanks to LEAH AND DOUG who brought party decorations, foods, and amazing CUPCAKES WITH TINY PIES BAKED INSIDE THEM!  i made everyone dance to 90's dance music and hip hop and RnB.  i puffed with tobais fuke, i hugged a man with a snake for a penis, i chatted forever with lydia deetz and a shark bite victim.  the new liquor store that just opened nearby was visited by a dispatch from our party, in full halloween regalia, and the hispanic family that own the store all sang happy birthday to me!  my costume was a great sucess and i was very happy.  i drank too much though as i am apt to do and had to sleep most of the day with terrible headache.  and then i had to clean up and it was very very messy.  but that's ok.  i went home and finished reading "Island Beneath the Sea" by Isabel Allende which was about a slave and a concubine and Haiti before it was a haiti.  it was extremely moving and beautiful.  i would have made it a bit shorter if i was the editor, a few parts were clunky or boring but overall it was a great book.  i have gotten some swell b-day gifts so far including an awesome black gold earring for my rook from dann, a claw money hoodie from foley (claw is one of my favorite graffiti artists of all time), a kettle bell from brian for workouts, a kindle from papa (have yet to order that though, i should get on that, earrings and pez and buttons and light up bracelets from the lovely kelly, superstickers and baked things from doug and leah, and stoli from me!








here's pics of guests!  i stole them all because i didn't have any batteries for my camera.

TILT$ a day late and a dollar short :)

things i love thursday, on a friday.

1.  dittocat. he came into my life about seven years ago because i was living in a cabin that had tons of mice.  i like mice as much as the next guy but when they started leaving little turds in the silverware drawer i went to my sister's place and asked her for her best mouser.  i intended to borrow him for a week, but i fell in love.  he is my furry compadre through all life's joys and disappointments and i wouldn't trade him for the world.  his name is ditto because there were so many black cats at that place when they got him they just called him ditto.  brian and i have also bestowed upon him a plethora of derivations including, ditteronomus, d-money, jamal dittonoffski, p-diddy, ditz, ditters von kitters, and ditty bop.

2. being an aunt.  when kara got pregnant i was worried about her.  i thought she was putting a serious hurting on her future life choices and saddling herself with far too much responsibility for her young shoulders.  but she put on her big-girl panties and became an awesome mom, leaving me free to be the world's happiest aunt.  annika, you are my jewel, my joy and my darling.



3. new haircuts!

 

yeah... it's weird and chloe think i look like a boy but i love it :)

5.  my petland.  it's under the 2 and 5 elevated train on white plains road, next to the burger king.  I have been going there for a few years about once a week for fish for the turtle and things for the cat.  it feels like "cheers" because everybody knows my name.  the kids there are very helpful and friendly.  stop by and say hi to ricky and alex and marisol and the rest, and pick up some tasty goldfish at ten for a dollar.  (when my turtle eats the goldfish she holds the fishes head in her mouth and rips off the scales and they swirl around all sparkly in the water and make it look like that tank is filled with Goldschlager.)  and that reminds me, it is goldschlager weather and i love that stuff.  how could you not?  it has REAL GOLD in it and tastes like you're drinking Big Red







And all the rest:  good friends who get me, people who understand when i can't be more than i am, staying confident in the face of rejection letters, good gym clothes, my leather jacket, my scarab necklace, my basil plant, my birthday, my roommate, sweater weather, doing situps upside-down on the monkey bars, ice-cream Wednesdays, snack-time at work and being lazy.

Dann is boss!

Got a new earring for my rook from dannberg 4 my b-day!
