An Inauspicious Start for 2007

I suck. So?

Ah. Strike New Year's resolution about being less defensive and self-deprecating otherwise it will snowball over the one about feeling like less of a failure and lay it FLAT. So to the gist:

Happy Birthday on THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY, Lovely Terry! I'm thinking about you and wishing you and yours the very, very best.

Happy Birthday YESTERDAY, Erik. Please know that I knew yesterday was your birthday (while it still WAS yesterday and corrected Mom who was thinking it was - some other day, I guess). Also, I'll keep this entry DELIBERATELY SHORT so that you will deign to read it. LOVE YOU!

And lastly, but certainly not LEASTLY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODAY, LITTLE JANET, MY LITTLE, WEE SISTER!!! Tu est une petite fleur! Moreover, I will say in front of you and the WORLD, you never "8" New York. Not even once. May all your dreams come true (speaking of which, how's the fifty-three member all-male fire rescue choir coming?)!!! I love you!
