The new year.

It’s has been kind of a rough start for the new year, I’ve been sick and also taking this intensive class and trying to work at the same time. Also, the dogs have been eating a new brand of dog food (cheap, I must admit) that is full of filler which causes them to need to poop like 4 times a day and each of their poop is the size of a grapefruit. It’s really cramping my style. I’m a busy lady, I have no time for grapefruit sized poops every 6 hours. I have such a tough life, I know.

I sat and watched the whole Redskins game last night, I’m not a fan, but it was nice to sing the fight song with the family “Fight for all DC!” Rah, rah, rah, but it did no good, we lost. And the field looked terrible. Don’t they have a gazillion dollars? Couldn’t they have a beautiful field. I don’t care about health care in this country, I just want a beautiful field for a playoff game for my $$, is that too much to ask for?

We were all sick over the holidays, here’s Vince being sick.

Happy birthday dad –

Dad’s birthday is on the 25th (Noel – get it?), and since he was going to be in SF for that day, Donald threw him a little brunch birthday party – including the cutest cupcakes ever. Look at the photo carefully, yes, the candle flames are caught in the breath just so, but also it reveals interesting tidbits – my brother has his bed in the dining room and reads InStyle magazine.  What – does he live in San Francisco or something?

Because of being sick and scheduling issues, we weren’t able to celebrate his birthday on the East Coast until the 31st.
