Hey, Everybody!

It's my higher-order life-liver sister Jilly's birthday today!

Let's all celebrate by:

...going with your eccentric but interesting uncle to fancy schmancy wine tastings.
...obsessing. Over what, you ask? Everything.
...using a label maker, and meaning it.
...continually profess your undying love for your dog, immediately followed by griping about the very same dog.
...cooking real, live meals and eating around a dinner table.
...having a five-year plan. For what, you ask? Everything.
...taking almost 16 years longer than it should to finish your undergraduate degree, but still hanging in there!
...thinking most everything our spouse does is either hysterically funny or incredibly wise and/or patient.
...getting an actual full-sized terra cotta warrior. From where you ask? Xian, China. Then put it in your dining room to protect those who are dining.
...having friends who live in all sorts of cool places doing all sorts of cool things and having all sorts of cool interests.
...being the mom of a higher-order life-living barnstorming progeny.

Happy birthday, Jilly! I love you...

...and hope you have a fantastic day!
