Four years ago today, November 10th, Derek and I had our first kiss, and officially began dating…but not publicly. That came about 10 days later. I met Derek through my roommate, Chris (pictured below being choked by me). Derek invited Chris and I to the birthday party of his then roommate’s fiance’s, now wife’s, birthday party…..hence the interesting pictures below.
Today is my birthday. I am turning the big TWO…NINE. Don’t feel bad for me, I’m fine with it. The person you need to have pity for is my youngin’ of a husband, Derek. He’s only26.
I figured why wait till my 40’s to become a cougar? Why not get the 1st one while I’m young too, and just train him well? It’s like getting a dog; train them well when they are puppies and they will be your faithful companion till the end of time.
Wanna see how loving my puppy husband is? On a typical day I pack my drink bag in the morning, but he beat me to it today. When he packed my bag he snuck in some sweet birthday notes for me. He’s a keeper!
For my birthday (and because my contract was up with my current carrier) Derek and I took a trip to the Apple store on Sunday and got me an iPhone. Because Derek already had a black one, and I have been pushing myself to be a bit bolder with color (or lack there of) I decided to get <insert hick accent here> one of them fancy white iPhones.
Since Derek made me wait a full 2 years to get one, and he was feeling generous (probably had something to do with the foot rub I promised) I decided to get one with a MAMMOTH memory. This bad boy is pretty sweet. Not only is it the new 3Gs model, white, in an adorable hot pink case, it has…
……….:::::::::::::::::::::::: wait for it ::::::::::::::::::::::::……….
…32 gigs of memory! That means I can put tons of my beloved podcasts, most of my music library on it (18 gigs worth), and still have room for a movie or three. WICKED AWESOME!
I got the Magenta Slider Case by Incase to help protect my precious baby, and put Power Support Anti-Glare Film Set for iPhone 3G(s) to protect the screen. These anti-glare films are amazing. Not only do they get rid of screen glare, but they help protect against fingerprints & smudges, and it makes the screen easier to glide your fingertips across. Back to my sweet magenta slider case….it comes with a little stand to prop up the phone for moments like the one on my honeymoon when you are watching movies on the plane and you have to hold the phone for the duration of the movie or find a way to prop the thing up. NOT FUN!!!
My birthday is coming up this month, and I can never think of anything to ask for when people ask me. I’m gonna try something new this year and post ideas of things that I would love to have for my b-day. Mom, Dad, Derek…here you go. My birthday wish list…
Draper Stripe :: Ash :: Queen
Glass Drink Dispenser :: small
Coral Coast Cedar Adirondack Chair-Natural :: for the new fire pit
Magnifying Sconce :: 2 if possible
Today is the actor Will Ferrell’s birthday. I would like to pay tribute to this comedic genius. I came to love his brand of humor watching him on SNL performing such skits as the Spartan cheerleaders.
TACO, BURRITO, WHAT’S COMMING OUT OF YOUR SPEEDO? I SEE BUBBLES, I SEE BUBBLES…
He now is on the big screen. He has made a few serious flicks, but where he really shines is comedy.
Here is a list of some of my favorites…
Thank you Mr. Ferrell for the years of belly-aching laughter.
Goulet out.
This past Sunday my dad turned 60. My mom and sister wanted to throw my dad a surprise party at my parent’s house. Simply due to the fact that my dad lives at the house at which we were throwing the party, it made it that much harder to coordinate. But with a little effort my sister, brother, mother, and I were able to successfully surprise my dad. See, about 30 years ago my mom tried to throw my dad a surprise party, but my dad not knowing what was in store for his birthday somehow made it back to the house before any of the guest arrived. (Way to go dude!) My mother swore she would never throw him another surprise party….ever. Well, I guess she changed her mind.
The party turned out perfect. I have no clue as to how many people showed up, but I do know that the house was packed. Many thanks to my new in-laws for helping with some of the food, helping set-up, and clean-up the party. My sister, Stephanie made an awesome cake for my dad in the shape of his boat. She nailed it on her 1st shot. Hey, if the whole becoming a pharmacist doesn’t pan out she may have a future in the cake design industry.
I was keeping an eye out for the guest of honor. I was there for a while….shouldn’t have started quite so early.
