P.S.

To my dear old Chicago friends Marisa and Wendy (and former co-workers at media agency),

I thought I'd point out that I am officially out of advertisers' "ideal" demographic. You guys still have one more year though! Live your last year of 18-34 to its fullest!!! Meanwhile, I will enjoy being targeted by products for 35-to-44-year-olds such as wrinkle cream and Danactive (both of which I could use right now).

It's My Birthday!

And I am home sick instead having an "EPIC" night out. "EPIC" is in quotation marks because Darius said it would be epic. I guess having dudes buy me shots all night = epic (wait, how old am I turning?). Haha.

My birthday ain't so bad though: I am currently eating an entire container of Half-Baked Ben & Jerry's ice cream while watching "The King's Speech," I got a lovely phone call right before midnight from a dear friend who also told me the canary candle holders are in the mail (yay!!!), and tomorrow I am sleeping in and then wandering aimlessly around Target. Oh, and getting a strep test.

Indiana's State Motto

"Can I get a side of ranch with that?"

I at least hope to train Audrey to be a little classier with her ranch request: "May I have a side of ranch dressing please?"

I Love Travel Shows

I only get one channel on TV: PBS. Thursday nights are the highlight of the week's programming for me because it's "Globetrekker" night. It's a delightful travel show that you must check out if you haven't seen it. Bloomingtonians, they have most of the eps at the public library. The best eps IMO are: Cameroon, Mirconesia, and Northern France. One of my favorite shows of all time.

Another Good One

My Birthday List: Cont.

Canary candle holders from CB2: I need at least two of these.

Moon jars: Blue or purple, please.

Sparrow hooks: I have been wanting these for over a year now. I love them.

Chanel nail polish. In typical Jack fashion, I want last year's colors (Mistral, Riviera, Nouvelle). I also like Ballerina.

Framed Matisse.

Yup, I still want this. The pink one. Size 4 please.

Heartbreaking
