28



















Rach,
My kids are way too distracting so this probably won't be a real tear-jerker of a post. Besides, I'm in my creating mood, not my writing mood. I've been making these super cool pillows and I keep thinking that that's what I should make you for your birthday, but then really? I mean, how often have I really finished anything that I've claimed to be making for you. Remember last year? Yea, that scrapbook is totally still sitting here unfinished. And besides, I totally need a diet coke. And maybe some candy to go with it. Definetly need a sugar/caffeine rush before I could make something cool, or write anything deep and meaningful. And seriously, when was that last time you or me were deep or meaningful? I should have totally made you some cupcakes or something but we all know that you're the true baker of the family. Besides, mine would just be a regular old box cake with regular old canned frosting. And then there was that plan to take your kids today so you could take a break, I mean a real break. I know you've been laying around a lot lately but we both know that doesn't count as 'resting' since we still have to yell at our kids, or change the channel for them, or worry about whether or not their ruining anything important to us. And by important I only mean those things that can't be replaced. Like the old stuff. Cause anything newer is so not worth getting up for. So, in typical Amy-Rachael fashion, here's just a few of the things I thought about today then talked myself out of. I mean, thats where our real talent lies right? Our intentions are always good, but the follow through stinks. Good thing we're sisters...Less offensiveness that way.
But Happy Birthday, anyways.

You know the whole birthday she-bang at Red Robin made this birthday complete. Song, sundae, friends. You and Lisa took it so well.

Have a great REAL birthday today!!

Amy, you're so funny. It's the thought that counts, right?!

Happy Birthday, Rachael! Sorry I missed the party this past weekend, I was so bummed. I loved this post, Amy! It sounds just like me and my sister.

Yeah, I'm so glad you posted this so that I could remember it was her birthday at 5:30 when I read it. Seriously, I am the lamest friend ever. Or at least I would be if I hadn't thrown her a rockin' party on Saturday night. Happy Birthday, Rach. You're the best.

Blast from the past! Amy L. I want to scream out your (old) last name...but for the sake of internet lurkers, I won't. I don't think I have seen you for 12 years but have always wondered what you are up to!

(Here's to hoping you remember who I am :)

It is so fun to see your cute family! I noticed you don't have a blog roll, which makes me wonder if you don't want your blog to be listed on one? I like having them on my sidebar just because it makes it easier to visit your blog.

I will have to get in touch with you the next time I am in the Tri-Cities. I would love to see you!
