New mommy *finally* getting to that stage in pregnancy where I don't have to explain that I haven't just "let myself go," making good use of her intellect, sense of humor, and creativity. Look out world, here I come!

Ode To A Birthday Dictator

It has been called to my attention that one Brigid Moira McNally and I have less than a week left until our respective birthdays. Because she so clearly holds seniority over me, I have decided to devote this post entirely to recalling her spectacular verbal quips, and, probably, indecencies. Honestly, somebody should do a study on the long-term effects of Mountain Dew: Code Red.

"Cheesy Bread... when did you guys develop that????"
...
"Word of the Day: Cantankerous. As in, 'Brigid, I wish you weren't so cantankerous when you wake up in the morning.'"
...
"Jimmy!!! Where ARE you?!?!?!"
...
"I'm only teasing, but I can see you're not responding, so nevermind."
...
"I'm a twelve year old fat girl!!!"
...
"I can't be sneaky about anything- I'm like a buffalo!"
...
"You're getting fat with power."
...
"I'm going to draw a diagram of the Strategic Defense Initiative.."
"...But that looks like a UFO..."
...
"Ooh, hold on! I have to depress my emergency break!"
...
"FANTASTIC!"
...
"You bring out the Down's Syndrome child in everyone."
...
"What if your leg got stuck between the seat and the toilet paper dispenser?"
...
"Thinking about desserts makes me uncomfortable."
...
"Not enough people are running so you are STUCK WITH ME! Muahahahah..ha."
...
"Adolf, you're so linear!"
...
"Communication is essential to all relationships- don't plug your ears, and don't contracept."
...
"Sometimes I wonder how people can look at my face and not throw up."
...

Yeah, that was pretty hilarious.
So, here's to almost 21 years of proving our worth to the world, by any means necessary:
Happy Birthday!

Wow, its like they decided to comment on you and treat me like last year : I ceased to exist.

At least you remembered me.

I have to say, I am overwhelmed at this post being written for me (us); great subject matter, if I do say so myself. I can recall most of those, but some, ... well, I suppose I should just not ask any questions.

Looks like you trumped me as far as getting to blog posts first.

Look for one in the near future (and by that, I mean when Im not having to write 14 annotations the day before they are due. GOD HELP ME!)

And seriously, Code Red rocks. :)
