we're still thinking some day we'll get a little brother, although we're really liking the name minnie spangler, which really isn't the best boy name, you know? we've got a new method for finding names: spam. really. what do you think of truman moon? or maybe myler almandeinger? linwood bray? zula toccara? or byrdie's favorite: deficit i. wombats?

update: ooh! motley i. whirlwind!

our crazy woman knows how to celebrate an important birthday: she went to the store and bought a chicken breast just for me! ok, so i shared with annie, and i would have shared with her, but she had a funny look on her face when i offered. since she didn't eat any, annie & i get chicken for a couple more days. woohoo! and i got a basket! it arrived a few weeks ago so i've been test-napping in it, but it's obviously mine. happy birthday to me! happy birthday to me! (everybody, now) happy birthday, dearest, cutest byrdie, happy birthday to me! oh, and you could send gifts, if you want.
