Here’s a link to the pictures my sister took of my birthday party. I decided to include all the pictures. The reasoning behind this is that had I discarded pictures because they were fuzzy and not in focus, there wouldn’t be any photos to view!
The night before my birthday, before we left for Baltimore, Rob presented me with his birthday gift to me. It was a gift bag filled with DVDs! Roger Corman’s Cult Classics: Dangerous Dames! Swamp Women, She Gods of Shark Reef and Wasp Women; Masters of Horror, Vincent Price: The Bat, House on the Haunted Hill and Last Man on Earth; Roger Corman’s Cult Classics: Jack Nicholson! The Little Shop of Horrors, The Terror, and Dementia 13; and finally Learn Guitar on DVD volume 1. I thanked Rob profusely.
“Don’t you think it’s odd that I gave you a DVD on Learning Guitar when you don’t actually own a guitar?”
“I didn’t consider that…”
At that moment, he went behind the sofa and pulled out a GUITAR!!!! He got me a GUITAR! Now I can live my dream of becoming Judy Collins! Wait, was it Judy Collins or Joan Collins? Too late now! 🙂
My mom and dad had a little birthday party for me on the 3rd. My mom made Chicken Enchiladas, Mexican Rice, Chips and Dip and Guacamole. It was a great meal! After the meal, Lisa brought out a MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP BASKIN ROBBINS ICE CREAM CAKE!!!! Normally we do Sweetheart Cakes from Morrisville but I’ve been eyeing this cake each time we go into the Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins for coffee. I look at the cake, sigh, and think of how yummy it would taste. Can I just tell you it lived up to my expectations?! It was so yummy good! I LOVE mint chocolate!
It was a great birthday! Made turning 32 a party!
You look so pretty and happy!
I am so glad you had a lovely birthday, it was well desrved, and that Rob…well he looks like a snazzy fellow
Rob is very jaunty! And he’s grown a beard for me!
Looks like you now have two Beaus in your life
(which one is better behaved?)
be careful with this entire Judy Collins thing, she had a terrible drinking problem, I heard an interview on the Diane Rheme show with her one time
You actually wanted him to grow a beard?
You rock baby!
Most women I know like men who are clean as a whistle when the relationship phase starts to set in. During the attraction phase, however, the stubble rules!
Since I am so far past the relationship phase (deeply into the married phase), a stray nose hair can set off an argument. I’m off to get my Brazillian treatment.
I LOVE FACIAL HAIR (on men)!!!! The thing is, Rob doesn’t seem to care for the beard. He thinks it makes him look older and he says it itches and looks gangly. I think he looks fantabulous and all I want to do is pet his face and feed him little treats. If he really doesn’t like it, I would feel horrible asking him to keep it. It just doesn’t seem fair. All I want is for him to be fuzzy and forego shaving yet here I am shaving my legs every freaking minute to keep up with his crazy belief that women shouldn’t have Gorilla legs. It’s kinda like O. Henry’s, “The Gift of the Magi.†or not.
That’s so funny. Steve grew a full beard for me over the long weekend, and I’m trying to get him to keep it. He also says it’s itchy.
“I will grant you one wish,” said the genie.
“Um, could you fix it so that the hair on my legs grows on his face instead?”
A gesture and a puff of smoke. “Done.”
O, if only life were actually like that!
