it's a date

i think i've made my 2010 calendar choice and just signed up to be notified when the new cats let nothing darken their roar edition is released. i love the strange phrases and the large scale prints. as much as i like surprises, i always look at my birthday month first. "nothing like little vera to make things better." during elementary school i took organ lessons for a few years from a sweet older woman named vera. she always wore a big curly brown wig, gave me gold stars and hershey's kisses, and poured me a tall glass of ensure (chocolate or vanilla) after each lesson as my "special treat."
