Favorite Moment

My Birthday
Originally uploaded by poem gal

Birthdays certainly aren’t for the timid.

Today I turned 35, seemingly out of nowhere. It didn’t go exactly as planned, but it ended sweetly with Mikey singing Happy Birthday at the top of his lungs. Without a doubt, my favorite moment of the day.

Hi, Mom.

It's just you and me right now. I decided to start a blog. Before you ask (because I know you will even though I've already explained it to you a million times) a blog is short for “weblog,” which is essentially a website where one or more people post brief articles on their topic of choice.

No, I haven’t decided what I will write about.

No, I don’t get paid.

You’ll just have to trust me.

Back to my blog. I’ll explain the title later, but for now I just want you to know that you can actually subscribe to my feed! Please don’t ask me to explain a feed. All you need to remember is that you can subscribe to "it" and receive notices each time I post something new. The easiest way to do this is by creating an account at a site like Bloglines. Once you get to the Bloglines homepage, click on “Sign Up” and…

Sigh. Whom am I kidding? I’ll be over later tonight to set everything up for you, ok?

xoxo,
your daughter.

p.s. If you could babysit the boys for my hair appointment on the 14th, that would be great.
