estela's great all-american birthday!

thank you mookie from us.

i think harry has developed a post-surgical fake limp. this morning he was holding his foot up pathetically with a poor little matchgirl look on his face and when i said 'aw' in a concerned voice he wagged his tail and set it back on the ground and then skipped across the room.

towards the biscuits. by then he had a markers look on his face.

\(^o^)/

loving the harry stories

ts: poor little matchgirl vs. markers

let's just hope it doesn't escalate to slurpees

no slurpees for harry.

you could call them harpies

i don't even recommend slurpees for humans tbh

O HAPPY DAY!

thank you my darling.

here it still is!

this calls for a drink! (for you, not me.)

i'll drink one for each of us. <3<3<3

is today your real b'day, estela???

p.s. i don't think jordan will be here when you are - his stupid job is making him go to georgia for stupid work stuff. :( :( :( :(

but i'll be here, which is the important thing

happiest of all the days, when estela arrived on our planet!

should have been the 29th, imo

j/k happy birthday!

birthday! happy! <3

sweetestela, i'm getting ready to make your lxydrink!

i <3 you and i <3 everyone here. so glad mookieproof is sticking around.

happy happy happy :)

thank you dear sandboxers<3

:( stupid ytth work stuff

i'm also very glad mookie is in the sandbox, i <3 mookie.

me too!

i wish you all could meet mookie. he is very dear.

MAYBE he will move here, and then you will all meet him when you visit in the future!!!

did you measure mookie for the door.

no, he wasn't at the house + i didn't know he was a sandboxer at that time.

also if he reads this he will probably be very confused about this measuring business.

what did u get for yr birthday?

kind wishes
a terrible face licking from harry
flowers
chocolates
a scarf
an unconvincing but enjoyable promise of a parcel from my sister who is as post office averse as i am
a mosquito bite on my left hand

also i'll be getting a poang chair and footrest from ikea for my study but they don't have it in stock. i was there yesterday with my other sister for a couple of hours. it was fun, partly i think because i had let five years elapse since the last visit plus also my sister was in a fun mood and when she is good she is very very good.

does she have a little curl in the middle of her forehead?

mookie do you know about the measuring?

she most certainly does have a little curl in the middle of her forehead.

it's lucky the chair was out of stock because the section of my study it is going to go in has got stuff all over the floor.

won't someone spansplain the measuring business to mookie.

mookieproof, basically you have to read the entire thread: wd'ntyll

hopefully you don't mind squabbling and hyperbole.

best he sees our worst before he gets too embroiled.

ps estela, can you call me in one hour?

is two hours okay?

yes! <3

<3 okay

well i chose to read the first-n-last 50 rather than all 497 messages, so i don't yet understand the full importance of the matter . . .

i can tell you that of the ilxors i've met, only vic is taller than me, although i understand that strongo is also rather towering.

ps i have received an email from 'nic' re: jobs in seattle but i cannot speak with him now because germy washington state children have robbed me of my voice.

here's the upshot: some of are officially tall, one of us is officially short, and some of us are mysteries. but not many any more!

when you come back we'll mark you on the measuring post!

get your voice back soon so you can get a job here!!

it is weird; i could briefly see photos of the measuring stick but now i cannot.

anyway i am def. taller than estela which is all that counts.

ESTELA, today ytth officially accepted a job offer from that company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yay!!!!!! i have had my fingers crossed for you all week, congratulations ytth!! <3 u both.

i knew you were our lucky charm!!! and i PSYCHICALLY knew you were on the sandbox this very moment! <3

lol<3

hurray, ytth! wish you were here with us to celebrate.

me too!!!!!

i told estela she should move here when F. retires

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR!!
