happy birthday cousin

jens bday book, originally uploaded by tinkerellen.

today's my cousin's b-day. i made her a book. that was the other fun gift i was working on but couldn't give any hints about, since she lies and says she read this every few days. anyway, i hope she had a good one out there in the LA sun. jerk.

so do you ever hear a song and think, you know, i need that album. well, i did that today. i want ray charles greatest hits. and then at the end of the song i realized it wasn't even ray charles. but still, it made me think of his deep raspy voice and i still want that CD.

haircut today! i'm sporting the summer short do and loving it. my head feels three pounds lighter. AND i picked up a pair of Born shoes yesterday, or should i say invested in them. those things cost a small fortune. anyway, i needed some since i threw away (yes, threw away) a pair that i used constantly EVERY summer. why, you ask, would i throw them away? because i'm an idiot. (tell us something we don't know) hey! and they had a small tear in the stretchy canvas that was only bound to get bad and i would still be wearing them around until half my shoe fall off in the middle of the street leaving me shoeless in the grungy part of town. that's why.
