What A Day!

Today is my birthday!  What a glorious day.  It’s raining, I’m going to paint the second half of the basement floor, and tonight I’m going out for ribs.  And, our sweet little peanut of a Boston Terrier, Penny, is on the mends from getting mauled at the dog park yesterday.  This jerk of a lady didn’t stick around to offer any contact information, so I have begun the hunt for this woman.  Because I watch t.v. and that’s what they do: detective work.  I need her rabies info for her mutt, but I also want to shame her into paying for the hospital bill.  At least part of it.  I want to force her to be a good citizen.

But this year is going to be a good year.  I like numbers divisible by five.  I am 35 today.  I was born in 1975.  The year is 2010.  All signs point to good things.  Them stars are aligning, my friends.

I’m going to NYC for a few days and will be writing this blog from there.  I love going to the city by myself.  It’s beyond a magical place.  The city, in both size and attitude, is bigger than than the biggest bigshot.  The city is the most famous thing about the city.  It’s a great equalizer.  It’s the best place to re-calibrate your personal settings.  You just become a girl in the world, trying to get on with her day.  And it’s wonderful.

So here’s to you and to me.  Let’s all have a great day.
