As I think I may have written when this pic was posted on another website, you look like the Christmas tree topper from the Love/Cobain household.

Have a good day, Lorelei.
Your chicken-boyfriend can't wait to give you a big ole birthday steamroll.

(OMG, he looked so handsome this morning all dressed up--going on a field trip to the Drury Lane Theater to see 'A Christmas Carol'.)

Have you made her a cake? Say Happy Birthday to Miss L for me will you? Many thanks......
I have just broken up for the holdiays...Christmas starts here! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

No, I haven't made her a cake as it would be stale (or more likely eaten) by the time I see her next.

I believe the birthday girl is working today, but I'll try calling her shortly anyway--and if I speak with her I will pass on your good wishes. Otherwise, she'll read 'em here later on.

Re: 'Broken up' for the holidays? Is this yet another 'lost in translation' moment, like how being 'bummed out' might seem as dirty to you as 'smoking a fag' is to us (but in our own particular vernaculars they are just normal non-lascivious activities)???

'Broken up' here means you've just ended a relationship with someone. Or else you're really sad about something--oftentimes the two go hand in hand (but not always).

Anyway...explain what you mean by you've just broken up for the holidays. I am confused 8^(.

p.s. I love Christmas too!! But I am having such a difficult time getting things done this year--been sick and feel like I'm coming down with something else now (was in bed by 8:30 last night). Perhaps it's the frequent forays out into the rainy weather and being in too many stores with sneezy kids and germ-covered shopping carts. I dunno.

Will attempt my present wrapping now, with frequent lie-down-on-the-couch breaks in between gifts. It's the only way it'll get done otherwise.

No, I am not working today. Going out in this slimy mess to finish ruining my credit-- and Darren's-- for this thing we call "Christmassss"...

Broken up from work or school just means its the end of term or its your holiday time....and yes we are a confusing nation when it comes to grammar and slang etc., for instance we call our behind many things....backside, bottom, bum, derriere, but NEVER ever 'fanny'...gosh I get the vapours just typing it!!And I still hate the c word!! I am an intelligent strong woman yet that childhood catholic thing just makes me know I could never ever feel totally comfortable using that word....except when I'm driving alone and people act like TOTAL idiots..I have a pact with God...he'll let me swear like a sailor in the car because he knows it's cathartic and I will TRY to ....just try.
