may 18th

we're buying a car tonight. it's the first -big- thing we've ever purchased together. it's blue and it's beautiful.
today is my mom's birthday. it's also the 25th anniversary of when mt. st. helens erupted. i remember being younger and reading that and feeling a) happy that there were fireworks for mom's birthday, and b) jealous that nothing of any historical significance happened on my birthday. when you're little, you get your worth from such things. anyway, so i looked for anything remotely important that happened on march 19. however, after a little searching, i found that grover cleveland was born on march 18. and at the time, i thought he was the one who got stuck in the presidential bathtub, and i was sorely disappointed (in actuality, it was president taft who got stuck, and his birthday is september 15).

What a cute post about birthdays and shared dates and President Taft/Cleveland. Thanks for giving me the link. I love having one more way to stay in touch with friends.
