my birthday in photos (aka easter)

hungover after the unexpected miscarriage scene in Marley & Me prompted dangerous levels of wine consumption, Cat spent the first half of her birthday in bed with Landers.
(notice not one, but two, tubes of chapstick on the night stand - i wasn't joking about my obsession)((also notice the tickets to see dane cook on june 13th))(((HELL YEAH)))



then gray got off the couch for the first time since monday night, and the two went to the minnesota landscape arboretum. it was not yet blooming.




what the hell are these pods, and where are the aliens that hatched from them?


Mr. Bumble Bee and Miss Tulip, doing the nasty




presumably, maple sap for syrup (or complimentary doggie poo bags)

the giant snake of death who tried to eat me (dude, his mouth is OPEN and he kept sliding at me)


lunch at pei wei - gotta love the asians, they're always open on religious holidays


my penis shaped peanut


aw, such a pretty birthday cake!



wait, do you notice something odd about it?


i did, too.

thanks to gray for recovering just in time to give me a kick-ass birthday!

  11. Happy birthday, Cat. I, too, have a chapstick fetish...I'm not really into threeways (me and TWO chapsticks), but to each their own.

    Happy Birthday, doll!

  22. So far, I have read 2 blogs in my reader and they both had snakes in them. WTF? Happy Burfday!! God, you like half my age!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Miscarriage in a dog movie, wtf? And of course the snake was trying to kill you, you ate his family for lunch.(my half Asian kids say I can use that joke, I have a permit)

  24. YOU ARE JUST A BABY! Oh what I wouldn't do to be 26 again! I would attack you with a snake, that's what I'd do. I mean, my thirties have been awesome so I really wouldn't strain too hard to be 26 again, but I wouldn't mind chasing you around with a snake. Sorry. That's probably the meanest birthday wish ever.

  25. Happy Birthday! We watched Marley & Me on Sat night too but without alcohol. The part where she was freaking the fuck out over being stuck home with the shitty barking dog and the chaos? That's my life, right down to the dog I hate (but hugged after watching the movie). Ahh, to be 26 again. Wait, it was only 6 years ago. Enjoy your ability to nap and sleep in on the weekends, one day it will vanish and you'll be all "what the fuck?"

  26. Happy Birthday!

    Um. By the way, why do you look all cute and cuddly while hungover?

  27. P.S. Blake and I saw Dane Cook about a year ago! GOOD times.

  30. Happy Birthday! I am an asshole who lets her Google Reader get up to 700+ posts before she starts reading them. Hence, the late birthday wishes. Sorry.
