My 37th Birthday
I had a great birthday this year. In all realms, it really was one of the best. My actual b-day day was a week ago Sunday, Jan 20th. I had Depressionista and Pioneer Girl over. We started the evening off at Michael's Craft store. They were having 40% off sticker sale! We went nuts. Depresisonista had a gift card. We bought stuff to decorate bird houses later in the evening. Then we went to Biaggis for a fine dining experience. I should back track a moment. Depressionista brought some cakes for my birthday of her own creation--something we had discussed before but she made it a reality...Afro-American Vulva Cake--to say it in the most politcally correct manner. You can only imagine what we really call this cake and you can email me if you want the real, official title for this. Anyway, its a chocolate cake, with the top cut out and layered up a bit with some sort of red fruit filling and whip cream in the middle and the most delicious fudge frosting....she brought two, one raspberry and one cherry. So anyway--we were telling our poor cute young male waiter, Bartholomew (spelling??) about the cake we had at home and went into some detail. He said "I gotta go back into the kitchen and throw up now!!" It was a yummy dinner!
Then we went to Barnes and Noble for s0me uninterrupted time at the book store! Followed by our regular junk food run to Walgreens!
Then we came back to my place and hung out. And I got my presents! They all were awesome!! Pioneer girl gave me a home made apron--50's style done in pink and black skull pattern with LilCherie monogrammed on it--I absolutely love it. She also gave me a charm bracelet, flamingo kleenex pack for my purse and funny cartoon notepads. This year Depressionista really outdid herself. I don't know if I will get everything written down but Depressionista went through our Snickle Snackle chronicles and found several ideas that we had written down previously and made them realities--she made me a pair of Grumpy Pants, my "fat american woman with period" t-shirt, my "this is art!" stickers that I can put next to my collages, the Thomas Kincade Crack House post card, and other things that are just too personal post. I have to say that I loved everything I got...And I was so impressed with how much energy both Pioneer Girl and Depressionista put into my birthday!! You guys are the best! I LOVE YOU BOTH!!
I had myB-day family visit yesterday....which was great--but I don't have enough energy to post that as well....so that will have to be another day.
