Birthday Entourage

And, just when I thought my 27th birthday couldn’t get any better, I see my amazing friends at the top of the Campo stairs. Our party for two (as i had thought) turned into a party of 6.

Too many courses to count later, and five bottles of wine emptied, my heart was filled with so much joy and love I could have burst! These amazing individuals were there to celebrate my 27th birthday with me, and create wonderful memories!

Chris, Clint, Alane, Amanda, and Dean, thank you ALL for making this twenty-something feel so special!! Cheers!!

Here I am in my bikini biniki (as I lovingly called it) a whopping 24 years ago. It was a chilly May morning in central Illinois. My mom got me out of bed before the sun came up. She put me in my biniki, wrapped me in a coat, put balloons in my hand, and we were out the door. She marched me down the street to my Aunt and Uncle’s house. I stood on the front porch, and rang the doorbell…in my biniki, sans coat, and a fistful of balloons. The door opened, and with a shivering chin I said, “Happy Birthday, Uncle Roger!” My Uncle and I share the same birthday. When my Aunt would ask him what he wanted for his birthday, he would always say “a bikini girl”. Well, that year he got one. But, one that stood under three feet tall.We’ve gotten a little older since then, Uncle Roger. But, I’ll always be your bikini girl! A very happy birthday to you! I love you!

And, then there’s this. That giant red dot on my face. A zit? Oh, no. A mosquito bite. I hope my blood tasted like sulfuric acid, you heartless mosquito. Of all places, you chose my face. On to a Google search this morning for how to cut down the itch factor and obvious swelling. Apparently rubbing the inside of a banana peel on it will work. Welp, considering I have a banana every morning for breakfast, I just happen to have a fresh banana peel in my hand. Says the itching will stop in 15 min, and the swelling and redness will go down in 60. Here’s hoping. Bonus, I am now a human scratch n sniff. Happy Thursday.

Advice

An Invisalign will not work if you are constantly clicking it around in your mouth rather than letting it rest on your teeth…quietly.

I just thought you should know that.

Sometimes you’re the dog. Sometimes you’re the cat.

Beer Run

Me: I really want a beer. ...Geez, if you wouldn't have drank all the ones in the fridge.
Chris: I'll buy if you fly.
Me: (ponders for a moment) fine. Gimme money.
Chris: I don't have any cash. You'll have to use my card.
Me: Wha?! Smooth move, Goodwin!!
Chris: (grins)
