Happy, Happy

 

This happy couple is Mommy and Daddy Lipstick circa 1966. June 5, 1971 was their wedding day. Theirs is a funny and fun relationship, a lovely and delightful dance of acceptance and compromise, passionate giving and humble receiving; it is quirky and strange, strong and amazing. Most importantly, it works and it has for 38 glorious years. Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy Lipstick! I love you so very much!

Also, happy birthday to my super cool At Work Friend! She is gracious enough to visit Lipstick-land despite spending forty hours every week with me, is very punctual, extremely logical, and has excellent taste in restaurants. Her tiny waist is inversely proportional to her judgement and razor-sharp clinical skills. I am grateful to work beside her, and thankful that she visits Lipstick-land since you just don't say these sort of things in everyday conversation. Happy birthday, dear friend!

And finally, gentle readers, I must add in just a little tiny bit of TMI. On the afternoon of June 4th, Pretty Girl's teacher called me at work to let me know that she had gone "pee-pee on the potty!" Pretty Girl's teachers are acutely aware of how much I worship the ground that she walks on; they even called me last week when she made a valiant albeit unsuccessful potty attempt. I heart them. Way to go, Pretty Girl!
