Prone Twenty-Three

I know I've had a prolonged absence (great term, Carolyn)... but I thought I should, at the very least, use my signature saying one last time before I can never use it again.

Tomorrow is my birthday. And I'm pretty excited because I think it will be a great day. Birthdays have never been a HUGE deal in my family (when we were little, the standard "birthday rule" was having a party - with friends - every OTHER year). But I feel like this year is definitely a party year.

Tomorrow morning I'm going to get a (badly-needed) pedicure with my sister, then I'm laying out on the beach with Carolyn and hopefully Paddington, and then everyone is coming over to my parent's house to BBQ and drink beer.

Plus, it's HOT in Seattle (as a matter of fact, my office building downtown is on energy conserve right now -- I'm sitting in a dark cubical with my computer screens dimmed so my retinas don't suffer permanent damage). And because it's HOT... I will probably get to wear my new maxi dress tomorrow...which I am thrilled about.

The only thing missing tomorrow will be my sister Erin, who, poor girl, has to spend a WEEK in PEBBLE BEACH for WORK. Tough life, eh?

Also... I want to leave you with a few things that I read / heard about / thought was funny this week:

1.) Someone with the last name "Vaginal." Seriously. I'm not kidding. And I can't stop thinking about this girl being called, "Miss Vaginal." Or about her high school jersey or cheer uniform - VAGINAL. Whether it's stretched across the back of a t-shit in block letters or featured in cursive on the bottom right of a cheer sweater, it's not lookin' good.

And really that's it. I just wanted to share that. I don't have an entire list. Just that one thing.

So finally, I'd like to let my faithful readers know that I will be moving to a fabulous new web site (thanks to one fabulous creative designer and one knowledgeable cool guy who is going to help me set it up). Now that I'm not twenty-two anymore, I can't exactly be Prone Twenty-Two. So hopefully, within the next few weeks, I'll have a new URL address to give you.

And... undoubtedly... more hilarious stories. I'm mean come on - one funeral, two weddings, and a Dave Matthews concert... SHIT is prone twenty-two happen.

Stay tuned!
