Since it’s already tomorrow in Europe (well, it is here, too, but it’s an ungodly hour), I tried to ping Amber to wish her a happy birthday, but she has thoughtlessly left her computer to do “other things.”
So I pinged her better other half. No luck. How can they enjoy her birthday if they are not breathlessly awaiting my involvement??
Go over and say Happy Birthday,, and tell her Auntie Mindy sent you!
(And for eight whole months, baby, I get to be just one year older than you!!)
me: boooya
me: (In case you’re wondering what I’m doing up, I had one kid grinding
his teeth to my left, and another coughing to my right, so I came out
to sleep on my big yellow chair, and the dog is pacing like crazy
because of the effing RATS in the attic. Gaaaaaaaaaaaah.)
me: I hope you are in the kitchen, busily baking and mixing and frosting
me: may go back to bed soon
me: that second message is all wonky because it was originally an email but then I realized that mail doesn’t send from my Mac account on the laptop
me: I’m like some idiot in a Hummer who can’t do anything but honk the horn and turn on the wipers
me: *looks for parking brake, hits head on steering wheel
me: *jerks up in pain, knocks rear view window off windshield
me: *looks around, puts elbow out window and tries to look cool
me: well this is no fun
me: aren’t you supposed to be AWAKE at midday?
me: I mean, it IS midday, and you’re presumably awake , so WHY AREN’T YOU AT YOUR COMPUTER?
me: ok, so it’s your wife’s “birthday”
me: shwah
me: *picks up rear view mirror, checks teeth
me: OK, I’m outtie
me: kiss every blonde you see today (in your HOUSE) and say it’s from auntie Mindy
me: tell Amber I love her
me: and that I have something really spectacular for her birthday but it’s taking a while because she WON’T GIVE ME ANY HINTS
me: love love love to my Rosie
me: best face in Belgium
me: ta for now
me: *puts Hummer in reverse, backs over neighbor’s house

It’s just after 11am in the UK so it must be Stupid O’Clock in the morning with you yet apparently you are still online! (Am commenting as I don’t have Yahoo Messenger to say hi and am also trying to do a job app so that would be yet another distraction.)
Night night, sleep tight.

When do you sleep?

It’s a problem. For instance, Gil just took the kids out for a couple of hours so I could rest, and I CAN’T! I’m all edgy and jittery and can’t relax. Eghghgh.

Hey Mindy! Will be over to chat with Amber shortly, but I wanted to make sure that you knew that the CROWD chose your poppy name. I want to make sure you like it before I blogroll it. They said, “Mommy Poppy”. An interesting double entendre, don’t you think? Would your husband be too intimidated? The thought of it is simply delicious to me, but wanted to get your opinion.
Oh, and by the way...ummm...do ya’ REALLY think that being the 3rd in “Best OVERALL blog” in the entire personal blogosphere is an a**-wiping? Do ya’ think?… Just head on back. We’ll get ya’ all fixed up. A few kudos and lots of back slappin’ will do wonders for that fragile ego...
MWAH!

Sleep is good, but it WAY cuts into your snarking time
And Mindy Snark is like, a national treasure.

OK! You’re in the club now! Cheers!

Yes dear, but you will always be older
secret word… ‘will’
As in YES YOU WILL and as in… SHOULD I WRITE MINE NOW?

Oh, and thank you sweetie!
