Don't Hate Me Because I'm Hot
Not THAT kind of hot. LITERALLY hot. It's 88 degrees here. I think that's a bit hot for February. I'm not being facetious. Really. Because frankly, THIS is not what I want to see sunbathing on my deck...
I ask you, isn't this a bit... well...obscene?
Of course, I'm wearing MY bathing suit and getting a little sun, too and I'm sure that's why Thomas is averting his eyes. I can't really blame him. I think I've just discovered a new reason why our impending move to Long Island might be a good idea...
Okay, so Ana's tenth birthday party was a rip-roaring success. In Ana's words, it was "the best birthday party ever."
Dudes.
I'm not sure what compensation makes all the trouble and effort worth it when it comes to kids but I DO know that when your almost ten-year-old says, "Mom, that was the best birthday party ever. Thank you so much." you will feel like you just won the Mom Lottery. About 100 times in a row.

As one of those "northerners" I'm trying my best not to hate you for your weather. It's OK, you'll be one of US soon enough...resistance is futile!
I'm actually coming down to TX in about 3 weeks (I'll be in Dallas) so can you just put in an order for that weather to stick around at least through my visit? I'm really looking forward to an opportunity to thaw out for a week!
It was a great birthday party. Better than any of mine. My birthday being in November, I always wanted a swim party.
(And my car read 91 degrees while I was driving home. Geez. What happened to our winter?)
Lovely blog - bookmarking you for future visits :)
Happy belated, Ana. I'm sorry I'm late. It's fiscal year end, which is accountant talk for No Time to Breathe. Please give your mom a hug from me for giving you the best birthday evah.
