WIll anybody miss him?

So... I killed a bird today. One minute he's flying around, the next minute he's a hood ornament. And the weird thing is ....I started crying. The tears that I am always on the verge of losing control of, the ones that are constantly threatening to cascade out of my face, the ones I mostly manage to restrain....they escaped...because of a dead bird.

Yeah, I know I wasn't actually crying because of a dead bird. I was actually crying because I'm tired of being ugly and not wanting to go anywhere in public, because we got another bill from a collection agency, because I took pics at graduation last night and they suck!!!
I was crying for all the other stupid, silly, important, ridiculous, frustrating things that life is and I felt like crying.

...but a bird did die....and I am sorry.

I hit a dog one time on the way to church and was practically hysterical. (I'll tell you a funny story about that later.)
And Maureen, I really think you are beautiful. Really.
