So yesterday was Molly's fourth birthday!

We're having the party tonight, because I couldn't be there early enough last night. Apparently, she started to have her Traditional Birthday Hysterics at the end of the day, but Cynthia talked her out of them, explaining that now that she was four it would be much easier for her to not cry!

Molly didn't quite buy it, but neither did she cry!

When I got home last night, I looked around my apartment and went upstairs to talk to Cynthia.

ME
Someone, and I can only assume that it is one of your children, has been coming down to my apartment during the day.

CYNTHIA
Actually, I found Bonnie down there today.

ME
Ah, well that explains one thing, but not the other. Every day since I have gotten home, I have found that the lights are on. I mean, I do sometimes forget, but not every day, and this morning when I left I specifically noted turning off the lights, and they were on when I got back.

CYNTHIA
Well, Bonnie couldn't even reach the lights--I'll bet Katie is visiting the cats. I'll speak to her about it. What was the other thing?

ME
Well, someone had carefully poured Rice Chex into the cat's bowls! That was what really confused me, as I couldn't imagine Katie or Molly doing that!

CYNTHIA
No, that must have been Bonnie being helpful and feeding the kitties!

The thing that I had forgotten about short hair, the one problem that I find is that, unlike with long hair, where when you don't have time to wash it you can just scrape it back and it doesn't look too appalling, short hair just plain looks dirty.

Long ago I said:

"Friday night Leno's guests were Dennis Rodman and Rodney Dangerfield. Are they actively trying to drive away viewers by booking the most repellent guests possible?"

Well, replace those names with David Arquette and (speak of the devil) Ainsley Harriott and you've got last night's show! I would have opened a vein if my blood wouldn't have just frozen.

So instead I just flipped over and watched Letterman. He looked pretty chipper for having had quintuple bypass surgery just a few hours before.

Get well soon, Dave! We love you!

Check out Catherine's About.com Journal Profiles page!

Everyone was mentioning that they were on it yesterday, and I hadn't sent back my interview yet, so the real reason that I went to work without washing my hair yesterday was because I couldn't bear to be off that page for one second longer!

Today's horoscope:
Fantasy land images prevail in play today. Give yourself permission to "space out" a bit and enjoy the show!

One year ago today:
It is so beautiful that I would marry it if I could.
