Bite me last day of June

Today is an important holiday for us all for 3 reasons.

1. The year is officially 1/2 over. Hey..., look at the bright side, it's now closer to next Christmas than last Christmas.

That's not helping is it?

2. Today is the first day that your Christmas lights on the house are no longer up late. Now they are up early. That's what you're creepy neighbors with an old truck and 4 chained up dogs in their front yard across the street are saying anyway.

3. Today is my birthday.

Of the three, I think 1 and 2 are more exciting.

It's a "monumental" birthday, which takes me back to my first monumental birthday. #10:

The best that I can recall about this birthday is that:
1. it was in the front yard of our old yellow house, which at that point had been painted tan, but was still yellow in my head.
2. My friend TJ blew off the day (or forgot she claims) but I was so MAD at her.
3. Joann wrapped my present in tinfoil, and I thought that was very clever and weird.
4. those overall shorts gave me a massive wedgie.

Nothing important planned for today except that I will probably play with my new flip I bought myself for my birthday present. Technically it's from Gene but he's not mastered this "internet" thing without me yet. Wanna know how many times I've told him "This is the password book, I hide it right here, these are passwords to all the accounts. If I die, you need this." After at least 3 times, I told Tanner where it was. I'm hoping Tanner will do a good job taking care of him in his ancient state.

Yesterday sucked big green donkey butt. I was having a *really bad day*. It involved mailing a registered pkg to *china*. Oh, the first person didn't tell me it had to be in a box. Without shiny tape. *sigh* Then I had to go to the DMV to get a new license, which while i was there, I decided to clear up some paperwork, which meant a trip to the courthouse for some certified copies of stuff I thought I had already, but, alas, I did not.

And those were the fun parts.
