Happy Birthday To Me

It's a few days after my birthday & my affairs and my apartment are way out of order. That means it's time to blog. I'm giving these to myself because they make me laugh every time I see them & I am a lady that never undervalues that particular trait.

10 Years Later

I remember waking up, ready to have a super day because it's Greg's birthday today & he came in the bedroom & said "They're blowing up New York". We watched TV instead of having a great birthday & I refused to cancel my trip to NY which was two weeks later. I wish i had made my Old Man's birthday 10 years ago better but so much tragedy overwhelmed one man's day. So much so, that I say "Never again will I allow 9/11 make me put the importance of the people I love who were born on 9/11 after the sadness of the lives taken on that day." Happy Birthday Greg & Leah! I'm sorry you got screwed by 9/11. I went to Manhattan two weeks later w my friend, Mark K. The generosity & many incredible memorials we encountered was simply staggering and that's why I will always ♥ NY.

M. Monroe: Born 6/1/26

Marilyn Monroe was born this day in history. She was a woman and she had a womanly body. She also created a classic American ideal of beauty and glamor that has long surpassed her mortal life, for better or worse. She didn't supplement her cardio with blow and cigarettes like today's starlets. If she did, she wasn't afraid to equally indulge in the culinary joys as well. Anyhoo, don't sleep w/ the President cuz you might end up dead. More now than ever.
