Life is grand.

My birthday this year is going to be absolutely perfect.

I am not one to make a big hoopla about these yearly occasions, but I decided my quarter-century-mark was worth celebrating. We'll have a relaxed Saturday luncheon with my friends and father and then......*drum roll*.....My mother is coming to Fall River!

Secretly hoping she'll read this entry, I have to make a public broadcast:

YOU MADE MY YEAR, MA!

I'm pretty thrilled that she's finally going to check out my digs and enjoy the mill-town scenery.

Huzzah.
