I forgot to do a birthday post for SeanR even though I specifically told him about how awesome it would be and how it wouldn’t focus on him being Mexican.
Oops!
Sean is a math wizard with no spinners. If I could get Meredith Gran to draw him a special birthday comic I would.
He gets to go to Comic Con because he lives where right now is three hours ago.
Happy belated birthday, Sean!
It’s that time of year again when 99% of blaix dot com is happy birthdays. YOU’RE WELCOME.
Today is my sister, Lindsay’s, birthday! I always have to ask Kari which one of my sisters was born on August 1st and which one was on the 14th. Is the 14th even right? I don’t know. Sorry, Diana.
Lindsay is on a plane RIGHT NOW flying here. She has the elder wand. I hope she brought it. We’re going to force Diana and Isaac and Gil to hang out in the new Harry Potter section of Island’s of Adventure for way longer than they are comfortable with. I can’t wait.
Today is also Tyler’s birthday! RIP Scampers. It’s getting hot in here… AAAAGH.
Happy birthday, Lindsay and Tyler!
Today is James O’donnell’s birthday! When you write the possessive form of his name it contains two apostrophes which is pretty rare for any word really.
James tells it like it is and doesn’t need as much data as you. Ask him where his dad was the night he was born.
Happy birthday, James!

Today is Thomas’ birthday. I met Thomas when I was teaching a class about MS Paint and I didn’t know how to make a perfect circle and he told me to hold shift. Then he introduced me to HTML. Then I obsessed over web standards and redirected anyone who came to my site with an old browser. Thomas said that was stupid. I didn’t listen to him then but now I realize he was right.
I miss hit counters and Welfleyfests.
Today we should all eat pulled pork while listening to Ozma and thinking about Star in honor of Thomas. I’m kind of not sure if he still likes those things. He hikes and stuff now? I’m mostly familiar with Classic Thomas. That makes me sad. Happy Birthday, Thomas!
Today is also Mil’s birthday! I don’t know if she reads this site, but if she does, she knows who she is. Happy Birthday, Mil!
We also got Bitsy ten years ago today. So many things!
This is what happened when I made an iTunes Genius Playlist based on William Elliot Whitmore – Gravel Road:


Our breakfast this morning was provided by Lois the chicken

Lois is our Easter Egger (hence the blue-green eggs) and the first to start laying. We’ve gotten 3 eggs from her so far and I’m sure we’ll get another tonight.
Guess what I did for America’s birthday? So far: made some coffee. Also: drank some coffee.
Later: PARTY AT KATI AND JASON’S NEW HOUSE!
Remember those 8 cute little chicks we brought home in February? Well, they’ve grown a little and now they’re big beautiful chickens!
This is Jane at 1 day old:
