Dear Adam,
According to Flickr, this picture was taken on April 17, 2007.  It’s the very first picture we took of the two of us the weekend I flew down to Florida to see if I really could convince some strange guy from the Internet to give me a job so that I could move out [...]

So, there are tons and tons of pictures and stories to tell from my 30th birthday party.
But, well, um, I’m still kind of too busy to put all those together for you.  So instead, I’m going to be really lazy and show you the video that was played during my birthday party.

Miss Britt’s 30th Birthday [...]

I never remember to call her on her birthday.
Ever.
We’ve been friends for 17 years, and I always call the day before or the day after, but never on the actual day.  I’m pretty good at remembering dates, I’m just rarely aware of what the date is today.
I think we’ve been friends for as long as [...]

As of about two o’clock this morning, I am officially the mother of a ten year old.
Ten.
One Zero.
It now takes two whole digits to accurately describe him.  Or rather, his age.  It obviously takes more than mere numerals to describe the rest of him.
As we drove to Walt Disney World yesterday to celebrate his birthday [...]

We met for the first time in the hallway of a Philadelphia hotel room.  I had just convinced all of her friends to ditch her at the airport and make her get a cab to the hotel.  I was sure she’d  understand why we’d rather do tequila shots than greet her personally.
It’s a miracle she [...]

Kevin of Always Home and Uncool has asked me to post this as part of his effort to raise awareness in the blogosphere of juvenile myositis, a rare autoimmune disease his daughter was diagnosed with on this day seven years ago. The day also happens to be his wife’s birthday.
Take it away, Kevin…

OK, so today isn’t technically your birthday.  But I won’t be posting on the 4th of July – so this will have to do.
I love you.
And I don’t know what I did to deserve you loving me, but I’m grateful for it.
Happy Birthday, baby.

Emma,
Some day I will write down your very own Story of The Day You Were Born and you will carry on a tradition started by my own mom. Some day you will sit long enough to listen to me talk about the greatest day of my life (and you will likely use that against [...]

“Are all of your friends bloggers?” Susan was looking around my house at the birthday party guests that had arrived. It was hard to miss the fact that nearly all of the adults were faces she recognized from twitter or some other Internet portal.
“Well, a lot of them are,” I explained.
“Man, none of my [...]

Hello, Internet.
You know how, sometimes, you come out of the woodwork with your words of wisdom and your well meaning suggestions for how I should fix this and handle that and basically live my life so much better than I am doing it now?
And you know how, sometimes, I like to dub [...]

This year was a 180 degree difference from last year.
It was a full weekend instead of one night.
It was three theme parks instead of one.
It was happiness and laughter and relaxation and pure, unadulterated joy – instead of… well… something else entirely.
It was magic. Corny, cheesy, commercialized to perfection magic.

I cannot say thanks enough [...]

Happy Birthday, you hot piece o’ ass.
(OK, but seriously. Vote. Don’t know where? Find out here.)

I have three brothers. I share a mother with two of them and a father with the other.
To be fair, I share much more than a mother with Jay and Creed. We were raised together. We share a childhood, a family history, and memories that go far beyond genetics and blood relations.
And yet, [...]

Happy Birthday, Baby!

And thank you, for always making me smile.
