happy birthday, little brother

before the night is through i must acknowledge your birth on this here blog.

why? you ask...

because i spent my whole life wanting a little brother. at the age of 3, i was given a life size 3-year-old doll. this doll was obviously a girl doll. complete with curly blond hair and long eyelashes. so what did i name my obviously girl doll?

i named her david. because i so badly wanted a little brother...and my neighbor friend had a little brother named david. (and in an odd twist, i got to marry someone who had both a little brother AND a brother named david. TWO BROTHERS!!)

(are there two brotherth? there'th one brother and then another brother and then...) :) (oh c'mon, it's kinda like waterth!!)

and now i get my very own real life little brother! and he is 24 today. and i am very glad he was born because i like him a lot.

so happy happy happy birthday, zachie! in california time that is...you're already a day older than 24 where you live...as i said i would, i will now tell you not to work too hard. you are young. (a baby!!) you have your whole life ahead of you to work. (i know, totally depressing.) and you are only 24 once. (duh!)

now i am going to go to bed. because i am exhausted. 28 is a whole 'nother beast. it is much closer to 80 :)

xoxo,
your big sis
