Eight.
It’s a serious thing, turning 8.
In sharp contrast to the frivolity of the weekend, Chappy spent the day in quiet contemplation of the responsibilities an eight year old must face….
Okay, maybe he wasn’t THAT serious, but he has been kind of quiet today. I had the day off from work, you’ll remember, but he’s spent most of it napping. Except for the walk, of course. And that period when the thunderstorm with the heavy rain went through, when he huddled in the corner of the dining room until it was over. I don’t know … maybe he’s not enjoying this “getting older” thing. Or maybe he’s just stiff from all that romping!
Check out the loving post his Grandma wrote today.
And, go wish Amy a happy birthday, too!
I got two things in the mail today, though, which is always a plus.
Three Rowan magazines (#25, 27, 29)–which count as one item–which I won from Claudia’s MS Ride contest extravaganza. Woohoo! I never expect to win anything, so this was a special treat, even if I AM in the middle of trying to get rid of books and magazines. (Irony, anyone?)
The other was my copy of “Notes from the Underwire” by Quinn Cummings, of the QC Report (a hilarious blog you really should be reading). I will further attest that–even though I’m only on page 55–this book is so darn funny, my parents were complaining that I was laughing too loudly. By all means, you must check this out! Wondering why? (If my opinion isn’t good enough?) Check out the first stop on her Blog Tour and note the witty, funny answers and then try to tell me you’re not curious.
And, darn it, now I’m in the mood to watch Goodbye Girl again.
Speaking of old movies, Mom and I watched 1972′s What’s Up Doc the other night, with a very young and good looking Ryan O’Neal and a very young, good looking Barbara Streisand. With the exception of poor Madeline Kahn’s hair and wardrobe, it stood up remarkably well. SUCH a funny movie, with the obligatory car chase up and down the hills of San Francisco.
Did you hear the Knitting Song? Sweet and folksy.
Okay–have a good night, everyone!

Happy birthday, Chappy! I’m much rather share my birthday with you than Michael Jackson’s funeral.

Thanks for the link! I’m jealous – my copy of the book hasn’t arrived yet and I’m dying to read it. Actually maybe it has but I haven’t made it to town to the post office yet.

You know it was a good party if it takes a day or so to recover.
1972? I saw that movie in the theater. Cute.
I’m sorry Chappy! Even with the advance warning, I’m wishing you a belated happy birthday.
