A gift from Goo

My loving big sister, Goo, made me a mix cd for my birthday!  As I've mentioned in previous posts, she's always had a big influence on my musical tastes and has been making me mixes since I was about 10 years old.  She does a fantastic job of mixing new things she knows I will love with classics from our childhood and jams to which we grooved in our teen years... and, occasionally, a surprise.

This time, the surprise was a doozy.  It was Ray Stevens, the Weird Al of country music.  Yeehaw!



Goo and her greatness makes me jump pews and shout HALLELUJAH!

Mama hates Mannings!

In honor of Mama's birthday, I have created some very special photos for her using that bastion of quality design, Microsoft Paint!

Happy birthday, Mama, and may you have many more years of Manning-hate ahead of you!

It's my Mommy's birthday!

I love my mama to the moon and back, y'all. I miss her every day and I hope to goodness that in the coming years, we'll figure out some way to live closer to one another.

Today is her birthday, and I hope she gets everything her heart desires - starting with a nice drink!



And for Christ's sake, Daddy - take the woman to a petting zoo so she can hang out with a goat!

Birthday bash!

My friends and I THREW DOWN on Friday night for my birthday, rapidly-gettin'-old-style! First we went to see a high school dance performance, and then we ate some pizza, and then we went home and went to bed! In all honesty, it was exactly the kind of night I wanted to have - quality time with some of my favorite people, maw stuffed with 'za, a couple of glasses of wine, and a warm bed. I did get a bit nuts by double fisting the cupcakes:


PARTY ON!

This is my birthday present from Pete:


I don't know what it is, exactly. I mean, aside from being a gourd.

Y'all will never believe this

In addition to loving everything else, corgis also love birthdays!


I also love birthdays, and I pretty much looked just like that last night at my birthday celebration with my mother-in-law and her new/old boyfriend (that's a tale I must tell you all in a separate post, as it's a good one!).


Corgis love to celebrate with friends! I'm going to do that myself this weekend, and can't wait.


HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! And to any and all corgis celebrating a birthday today!

Baby in a corgi hat with corgi friend

This is the luckiest baby.


Just FYI, it's my birthday tomorrow in case anyone wants to get me my own corgi hat!

Missed opportunities

Why didn't they say Happy Beefday?

It's Maru's birthday!

Y'all, Maru is 3 years old! That is 21 in cat years, which means he's probably completely tanked, which would really explain all that weird ass hopping into boxes he does. He's just drunk! Anyway, his owner made this delightful compilation video for Maru's many fans:



Awesome.
