38 things

hellooooo 38.

i was born this day in 1972, at 5 am. the first and last day i liked getting up early. :)

my mom won "new mom of the day" since i was the first baby born that morning.

I have a cassette tape of her groggy voice speaking to the local dj who was congratulating her on the birth of me. she told him, "she looks like her father." she was right. i still do.

with today comes a new list. one i wrote quite quickly and spontaneously, just scribbling down anything that happened to pop into my mind and heart. so here it goes...
