Daddy Dearest
Today's my dad's birthday and he told me the saddest thing ever: he is on a diet (doctor-ordered) and will not be having any birthday cake.
No.
Birthday.
Cake.
I live 9 hours away from dad, so lest you think I'm selfishly only thinking of myself and was hoping to get some birthday cake, I was not. Nine hours is a little too far to drive for cake. Although some cake does sound pretty damn good right now. No, I'm just sad for my father. He said he might have some yogurt tonight instead, and I spent five minutes trying to figure out how to get a candle in that. I don't think it would work. Might be worth a shot, though.
But happy birthday, dad, even though hell would freeze over before I ever gave you this web address, because you do not need to know the things that your precious little Ace thinks about. And, in a show of my daughterly devotion, I shall eat some cake tonight in honor of your birthday. And maybe some ice cream. And cookies.
Speaking of birthdays, mine is in less than two months. Let the planning commence! And by commence, I mean continue, because I'm assuming that you have all been planning since June 3rd of last year.
Here's a quick list of things I want: Sopranos DVDs (every season), my day-glo legs to be perpetually tanned, a new bike, some gift cards to Amazon.com, dinner at O'Meara's, free cable, my dog to be less neurotic, and a photographic memory. Hop to, kids, 59 days and counting and some of these items might take some time-intensive shopping.
