happy birthday buggy!

today my little girl turned 23.

how in the heck can time go by so fast?

i'm sad that she's too far away for me to wake up with my awful singing.

or give a birthday hug.

so i'll just post a little birthday tribute for her here. i bet it gets me a phone call...

she's always tended to be a little crabby on her birthday.

too much emotional turmoil i think.

thea has always liked everything orderly and executed according to a plan

that no one ever knew about except thea...

and okay, yes, i admit she gets that from me.

in her defense, she has many other qualities that far surpass the moody birthday blues...

she has her future on a great track.

yup, she's right on the ball you might say

(she really is)

she's quite stylish when the situation calls for style

 

(no xtratuf's on that girl)

and she is fabulously talented

(i know! so awesome! all that and a college degree to boot!)

in all seriousness, her best qualities are that she knows who she is, and what her roots are.

she understands how important those roots can be in the big picture of what she will become.

i couldn't ask for anything more in my little girl.

she's not perfect, but she's good enough for me.

i just wish she wouldn't have so many birthdays so close together.

happy birthday thea rose!
