some thoughts on motherhood, marriage, learning to love my own face in the mirror, wondering about the lady in the tangerine coat in the bean aisle at the market, writing - the usual suspects.

Not Odd Like Me
Dear Elizabeth,
Happy Birthday! I just can't believe you're 4 years old.
Here are 4 great reasons to be 4.
1. 4 is an even number. Thank God you're not odd like me. (Claire is 11)
2. When you're 4 you're considered a big girl. yah!
3. You're 4 times super speedier than when you were 3!
4. Your birthday cake has not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 candles on it.
Love,
Claire
Guess what? I'm putting a *goat in your name! Ain't it great!
*Auntie Claire is sharing the cost of a goat through the Heifer Foundation, www.heifer.org/gift in celebration of Elizabeth's birthday...yahoo!!! Here's to less stuff and more hope.
Gift of a goat: $120
Share of a goat: $10
With all the money donated to help fight famine around the world, with all the grandiose plans conceived to conquer poverty, sometimes all it takes to save a child is a goat.

ps. Couldn't have said it any better than Claire today.
Happy Birthday, sweet Elizabeth!
