B-Day!
stands for Bunny Day, which is today. I shouldn't even be typing this. I should be at Home Depot buying hardware wire, patronizing an evil corporate entity because I'm cheap and have a gift card which reminds of my big revelation last week that the fringe benefits of the non-profit industry do not come in comped champaigne dinners but in $5 home depot gift cards, kale transplants and watering cans. This would depress me into corporate America if I didn't really like kale and watering cans.
And the other major fringe benefits is free angora rabbits. I am so psyched internet, you have no idea. I will brush them and brush them until I have my own fuzzy majorette sweater and it will be awesome.
Yesterday, was T-day, stands for turkey day, not Thanksgiving. We drove up to 31 mile* to the baby turkey store and purchased six tiny birdies marked like pitbulls. I cuddled them the whole way home even though the cap'n kept saying I'd get pooped on. I did not get pooped on. ha!
* I'm only including this detail because while telling the story to Cara she said that knowing that there was a 31 mile road disrupted her world view. "What," she said, "is there a 6,000 mile road in California that only michigan residents can see?" I don't know the answer to this except to say that mile road numbers go up as you go farther north and they are all based on the 40th parrellel which is 8 mile. That's my fact for the day, but I could be wrong about it being the 40th parrellel, it may be the 45th.
