A Day In The Life - The Birthday Edition:
2:41am and The Twee One is sick again
3:35am, you look how I feel baby
4:57am and I seriously cannot believe how much vomit one tiny body can produce
7:30am and I throw together the simplest breakfast possible for Twisty G as Monday mornings are madness trying to get everyone ready to leave on time without Kay here to help yet
Birthday portrait upstairs cuz supposedly this is some kind of milestone 29th birthday or something
One last longing glance at the boys and the bed I'd rather be in
EEEEEEEEEEEE! Kay's here and she brought my first birthday present
OMG ALMOST EARRINGS FROM TIFFANY'S!!! (They will be actual when the special order arrives)
Because I'm not smart I totally forget I was trying to do a DITL post until after we get everyone bundled up, walk to the bus stop and see the small people safely on their way
My morning commute, watching some Gaga videos on my BB while I run to catch the subway
My office certainly has become more colourful since Twisty G started school
Leftover panzarotto for breakfast
I ordinarily don't have time for this anymore but screw it, it's my birthday so a little online love was in order
And then I lose myself in our new email template wireframes and approvals paperwork for the rest of the morning
Lunchtime and I know there are mad deals to be found in Winners but I always feel like I'm hunting through Value Village and get frustrated before I find anything
Off to Eaton's Centre instead where I finally get to spend the birthday money mom gave my the day before in our failed shopping excursion. I score a bunch of new work clothes and go on a rampage through Sephora
I indulge in a super-spendy but so good it's criminal salad for lunch
Approvals came through while I was on lunch so I spend the next while scheduling the tweets for the week before diving back into my endless pile of approvals packages waiting for me on my desk
The long creepy tunnel back to the subway hasn't changed since my last DITL post so I just steal this collage from it. Wow. Remember when I had time to make these things all pretty and stuff? Me neither.
Gawd I love these super excited greetings when I get home from work. Stop growing so fast dammit. Imma miss this when y'all are too cool to swarm me when I get home...
Party hat time!!
The boys swarm me with their homemade gifts and cards
BALLOON FIGHT!
Pose by my birthday palm tree cuz, erm, I'm on vacation? Don't look at me man, Fratboy was in charge of decorations
Rocking out with my inflatable donkey covered in leis
Getting squishy with my asses. Ha.
The balloons all looked like giant sperm so naturally Kay figured they needed party hats
Apparently Fratboy got me confused with his other wife because I'M ONLY 29 dammit. That 3 had to die
It had to die hard
Victory!
Birthday cake time!
Lots of help blowing out the candles
And then the sugar high made me forget I was doing a DITL post again so you missed me showering while Fratboy went to grab my favourite sushi take out for dinner. We eat, get made up and pretty, Joedy shows up with champagne and we drink like assholes, grab a cab and...
There. We're at Dance Cave and you're all caught up.
OMG, Samantha my best friend from high school shows up!! Thank you Facebook
These two get on like gangbusters
Some random chick named Shanti or something equally drunken sounding gets so taken in by our balloons and inflatable asses and party fun that she gives my a Lush bath bomb to wish me a happy birthday. How sweet was that?
Red shows up with OMG Patron Gold!
She also wins best card of the night :)
Dan is giddy at finally getting lei'd by me after about a decade of trying
Jacque shows up with cupcakes!
Caramel filled, chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting, drizzled with more caramel
CUUUUUUUUUUUUUPCAAAAAAAAAAAAAKES!!
2.0 sandwich Joedy with their cuteness and sobriety
Somehow I always end up in this position on the dance floor of Dance Cave?
OMG being the meat in a Ravensee - Tamago sammich...HOTNESS
Jackie gets me a sleeping mask because she is a mom and she KNOWS
Also the sweetest card ever and new bling!! I am so totally spoiled this year
With Axel, who has his eyes closed as always
Leanna gets up to no good with my donkey
We are all totally sober in this photo
So is our photographer
Dude. Dude! I was slow dancing and singing to that ass like it draped me in diamonds
I'm not quite sure how Sam's face ended up in my ass
But that ass was starting to make the rounds
Ahhh, new hair, new skirt, new ass, it's a good life!
Pumpum massacre!
Ole? Erm...OLE!!
Birthday kisses from Jacque
And I can't think of a better note to end the night on than slow dancing with my bestest bestest in the whole bestie world
By far one of the best 29th birthday's I've ever had. Somehow my ass got rolled into a cab and safely escorted home, not that I benember much. Booking Tuesday off as a vacation day was fantastically smart but strangely the more 29th birthdays I celebrate the harder it is to recover from them because even with the next day off it's still take me THIS long to be able to face resizing and posting these pix.
Oi.
The party was so damned successful that I have not been able to even look at a drop of alcohol since, for serious. This may be the longest break Vodka and I have taken since I had babies but then the scale started to say fantastical things as a result so I'm thinking this break is going to be extended indefinitely.
After tomorrow of course, seeing as how tomorrow is Kay's birthday and we get to follow up with all kinds of silliness again very shortly.
Thank you to everyone who made this birthday so fantastically memorable.
And happy soon-to-be-birthday to the most amazing woman I know. I can't wait to celebrate with you tomorrow!
Wow, 5 days later and I STILL really need to lie down now... :p
