do you remember learning to count out syllables? i am picturing an entire classroom of 5 or 6 year-olds clapping out words like play-ground. bas-ket-ball. i don't know. what words do 5 or 6 year-olds even know? i have no clue... sy-nec-do-che..? well, probably not that last one...

this past week has been a bit nuts. i don't think it's par-ti-cu-lar-ly events or work but perhaps just me. my brain moving at a trillion miles an hour. (can a brain travel? see what i mean?!) so i've been a bit snap-py. like pms on crack. (can pms be on drugs?!?) it's straight crazy, folks.

so here i am. thursday next. today was uncle jimmy's birthday and we celebrated in grand fashion. chinese food from fortune cookies, german chocolate cake from bake n broil, and a couple of fun gifts. it was a really nice deviation from the usual. everyone was cheery. and i really think uj had a wonderful day. today we also celebrate charles darwin and abe lincoln.

perhaps now is a good time to divulge my life-long love affair with mr. lincoln. president lincoln, if you will. i don't know if i ever did a report on a famous/historical person who wasn't abe lincoln. even now my heart does little flutters.

an-y-who. what this girl needs is a lit-tle r&r. saturday will see me and the girls maxin and relaxin at burke williams. i can almost taste the lemony-lime water. and let me tell you that i am going to be queen of the spa. and by spa i mean ja-cuz-zi. and by queen i mean no one is going to make me stop soaking for nothin. (wasn't that an-noy-ing? this is directed at one person in particular...and i know she's saying, "it was super annoying." although, i can't say for sure she would say 'super'...hm...i'm gonna bet she would, haha)

and that's about it. isn't it sounding wonderful?? some spa, some lunch, a little romance for hearts day, and a whooooooooole lotta relaxing.

done, done, done and done.
