Most Epic Birthday Weekend EVAH

I haven't dropped off the face of the earth. I have, however, been swamped with work. WORK!

The nerve of some people who want to, like, pay me to write.

Anyway, I wanted to do a short recap of my birthday celebration. And because a picture is worth a thousand words, and I don't have time to write a thousand words (at least not for free) today, I'ma put up a few lovely photos for your viewing pleasure.

For my birthday, I got this from my friends:

Mmm cookie dough ice cream cake from Coldstone Creamery.

And then we went out for hibachi and sushi:


... and drinks.

Side note: the hibachi chef tried to toss a piece of shrimp into my mouth. It hit me in the eye and then landed in my purse. See it there, all nestled in the pocket?

Don't be jealous of my four-year-old Target purse and mismatched billfold. Not everybody can handle this much awesome.

My nephew made me this (isn't it amazing?!):


And my brother made me this:

Chocolate cake: real. Poop: fake.

He also gave me these:
Seeeeeea monkeeeeeys!
I had to include this photo. Look at Curtis trying to look all sweet, like he never forgot my birthday.


So there you go - and I didn't even include any pictures of the comedy club, the bouncing around like white girls dancing, the huge birthday feast my mom cooked, or the mammoth tray of Pad Thai that my sister-in-law made (suffice it to say, I gained like twenty pounds over the weekend). All in all, it was a fantastic celebration with the best family and friends a girl - er, thirty-year-old woman - could ask for.

And I mean ... I got plastic dog doo and sea monkeys. WIN.

  2. Rita, I've been so busy with this *darn* newborn baby thing that I haven't had a chance to say Happy Birthday - or maybe I have, I can't remember anymore... sleep deprived.

    Looks like 30 will be awesome, I'm 34 next month - I'm paving the way for you :)

  7. Happy 30th Birthday!!! I feel like you are milking the birthday wishes here, Rita... HA! Just kidding. :)

    Enjoy those sea monkeys for about 5 minutes. At least, that's how long mine lasted as a kid.

  11. Super YUM to the ice cream cake. But TRIPLE points to your brother for the awesome poop cake. Seriously, that was so gross I laughed out loud.

    Love that shrimp hit you in the eye and then landed in your purse. Bet he couldn't do that again if he tried.

    Mostly I'm glad to hear you had a fantastic birthday weekend. Everyone should get to enjoy their birthday that much.

    Oh, and cute pic of you with the cherry. Love how you colored the cherry, looks cool.

  16. Looks like an amazing birthday. And, the poop cake? Killing me. I had to do a total double take. I'm just glad it was frosting, cause otherwise that would be one helluva joke. ;)

  18. And you do NOT have to share the sea monkeys or dog poo with your kids. Those are YOUR special presents, just for your sweet YOUNG self. I'm glad you had a good one.
