I swear to you I am not completely obsessed with my birthday, I mean, this is my second post about it in a weeks (*cough*it’sSeptember5th*cough*) but this year I have a new reason to be obsessed about it.
I’m not going to be home. I’m going to be away from Bobby, who always fusses over me and makes my birthday special.
Instead, I am going to be with EMILY, who makes fun of me and puts me in my place. So you can imagine my apprehension. We are going to spend labor day weekend with our kids and no husbands (don’t rob our houses, our husbands will be there!) at my parent’s place in Virginia, for funzies, because Em’s never been.
And there on top of the mountain, with only dial-up internet, miles away from distractions, I am going to carry out the threat I made MONTHS ago and force Emily to watch my favorite movies, Anchorman and Hot Rod with me! And since we’ll be at my parents’ she’s not even going to get to drink any alcohol to lift her spirits. (Though we WILL have Mountain Dew!) Nope, she’s just gonna have to have some good, clean FUN with me. Well, if you can call those movies clean. Some good, PG-13 fun!
And she’s offered to bake me a chocolate cake!
And since neither of us have a car big enough for both our families to fit in, Chevy is loaning us a sweeeeeeeeeeeet Traverse to drive on the trip! (Which is awesome because last month when we were in Virginia you may recall we had to COAST our broken-down car down the mountain!) So who knows, we might get crazy on chocolate cake, Mountain Dew, Will Ferrell, and Andy Samberg, and go joy-riding down the mountain!
All I gotta say Berry, is, no pressure, but that cake better be good! Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the big 33. And be glad it’s not YOURS, Forever 31.
I can assure you of two things:
1) I will not fuss over you or make you feel special;
2) The cake will be good.
Sounds like fun times are ahead for you ALL! I want to test drive an Equinox, let me know how you like the Traverse!
As to the cake, there is a Kroger in Lexington, I’m sure the Traverse (jealous) will make it!
As to the big 33, that means I have an anniversary coming UP.
As to a great Jenny story…did you ever tell them the one about peeing on Aunt Vickie at my wedding?
UP
wHHHHat?! Emily is going to wHHHatch Hot Rod!! Maybe you should bring some wHHHisky, I mean wHHHy wouldn’t you?! cool beans.
Pick another weekend cousin! I’ll be in Charlotte with the other cousins for labor day and was just thinking I should drive to VA the next time yall are down here. Have fun!!!
