today is tyra banks birthday

some say it is also my birthday. i am not turning 36 however.
today my mother sent me an email:
This is how I heard YOUR day was going....

First you had trouble getting out of bed



You had a stiff neck



You washed your hair and couldn't do a thing with it


Your new diet really doesn't seem to be working out



You pulled a muscle when you tried to exercise



Your new hat looked better on you at the store



You keep losing things


You got caught in the rain at lunchtime



Then the lunch you had didn't seem to agree with you



You feel trapped



Uninvited guests showed up at dinnertime



On top of that you think you're coming down with the flu



And finally, you're alone in the house at night when you think you hear a noise in the basement

MAYBE TOMORROW WILL BE BETTER!!
Thought for the Day


Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away.

thanks, mom.

the second best thing i've recieved today is a note via the internet from my dear friend alma:
this time last year we were all watching in horror through the rain soaked window as you sprinted through brussels with no money and no passport. and then everything was ok. love you and miss you, happy birthday.

tough birthday to beat, that one.
happy birthday internet & internet people & robots!!!
