The Big Three-Oh


So. Today's my birthday. And do you wanna know how I ushered in my 30s?

Probably not, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

I used a folded leaf to extract something sticking out of my dog's butt.

Now if that's not a celebration, I don't know what is.

In other news, my husband appears to have forgotten my birthday. I mean, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt for now. But this morning has been ... well, average (aside from the dog-ass debacle). We got up, fixed the kids breakfast, got Colin ready for school, Curtis got ready for work. And so far ... so far ... I've not gotten so much as a "happy birthday" from him. No acknowledgement whatsoever.

I'm pretty sure that isn't because he's planning some huge surprise later. He typically isn't that kind of dude. It's most likely because he actually forgot, and will try to play it off later. Like on our third wedding anniversary, when he told me my present was "in the car" ... after which I heard the car start up and drive away. To the store. To buy me a present.

I got some sweet earrings out of the deal, but still.

I can't complain too much though. I woke up this morning, which is a definite plus. I didn't morph into a total wrinkled hag in the wee hours between 29 and 30, so that's cool. I did wake up with a pimple, but maybe that's just my body's way of being like, "Hey, you're still young. Because only youngsters get pimples."

Right?

RIGHT?

*cricket, cricket*

To add a little bit of awesomeness to the day, I get to give away the Eden Fantasys gift certificate!

And the winner, per random.org, is ... drum roll please ...

Commenter #5 ... amy rae!

Congratulations! And if your name isn't Amy, don't worry ... I've got at least three more giveaways up my sleeve, y'all.

Anyway, I'm off to change a diaper that I have neglected for the past fifteen minutes while writing this blog. Which means it'll be nice and squishy. Oh, yay!

Have a great Monday, everyone. :)

  3. Happy Birthday! I think it is totally unfair to be at an age where pimples and wrinkles are both a possibility. I mean, come on. But anyway, have a great day!

  6. You slay me. The dog but debacle, pimple and all. I'm gonna go with a big fat YES, it's totally your bodies way of letting you know it's still young. But, just so you know....STILL breaking out like a teenager over here and I'm 37. Seriously!

    Hope Curtis remembers and that your day turns out FABULOUSLY, 'cause you deserve it.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

  8. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUU!

    As far as dog butts are concerned, one time my dog ate a piece of my hair, but she only crapped out half of it. With a turd on the end. So she was wandering around with a turd dangling from the bottom of an invisible piece of hair swinging from her bunghole... I almost peed myself laughing while I made my husband deal with it. . .

    Speaking of husbands, I hope yours comes through for you with a ridiculously fantastical surprise birthday party that rocks the socks off everyone in the house. Or at the very least another nice pair of earrings ;)

    Welcome to your thirties, momma!

  10. Happy Birthday!!!! You are adorable. :)
    And the dog butt...yeah...I just send the dog outside and let it fall off. Trouble is...my one dog has long hair and sometimes it falls into the hair and dries. So then I have to wait until I get the energy and enough facemasks and then I cut it off. EW!

  25. We talked about this last week and then I had one hell of a three-day weekend that included broken toes (mine), ear infection (The Boy), dentist visit (The Girl), and a whole bunch of other stuff. All of which to say: I'm sorry I wasn't around Monday to wish you the happiest of birthdays. So, any suggestions how I should spend the last 13 hours of my 20's?
