my birthday activities.


  1. Many times during the hours between 4:30 am & 8:30 am, I was mauled with noisy love-seeking from Cricket.
  2. At 9:30 am, I got up, & I made the bed.
  3. I abluted and popped my handful of pills.
  4. I changed my ringtone to Super Mario Bros.
  5. I was well-wished by my family.
  6. I finally received a package of birthday goodness from Matty.
  7. I puttered around on junkbbs.
  8. I got dressed and gussied up my general appearance.
  9. I drove to Lincolnwood, and had lunch at Olive Garden. I ate the zuppa toscana and salad, and drank a raspberry lemonade. I also felt a little lame.
  10. I drove to Best Buy and used my Reward Zone certificates to purchase Spirited Away, which I have never actually seen all the way through without constant commercial interruptions.
  11. I drove to Target and bought new 4 new pillows. I also bought 3 Sterilite under-bed storage boxes, 2 kitchen fatigue mats with roosters on them, 3 bowls of microwave brownies, and a 3-pack of cinnamint Orbit gum.
  12. I purchased a strawberry mango smoothie and a bottle of nectarine white tea snapple at the concession stand.
  13. I then went out to the car, where I realized that I was missing the bag with the brownies and the gum, and went back in for it, only to discover the weirdo in line behind me had apparently made off with it, probably by accident, but you never know.
  14. I got 3 more brownie mixes and a pack of gum, and was checked out.
  15. I drove home, where I ended up having a long conversation with my landlord, Mike, about how the city made him get rid of the stuff piled up behind the building as storage, and bemoaned the lack of general storage in the building.
  16. I put the new pillows in cases and threw away the old pillows. I also put everything else away where it belongs.
  17. I changed into pajamas.
  18. I rearranged some underbed storage.
  19. I ate half a medium bag of almond m&ms.
  20. I rearranged furniture.
  21. I watered the plants.
  22. I watched a lot of Discovery Channel about the activities in KV-63, and how they relate to KV-54.
  23. I shredded half of the shredding that I've been stockpiling.
  24. I waved a feathery toy thing on a string and a stick for a long time whilst Posey happily chased it around like a little crazy person.
  25. I watched Venture Bros. & Family Guy.
  26. I cleaned out the litter box.
  27. I did this.
  28. I abluted and went to bed, where I intend to work on a crossword puzzle and then sleep.

Daddy suggested we go to see you for your birthday, but mom said no because she figured you had plans. Now I wish we would have gone. Maybe you wouldn't have wanted that anyway, but whatever
<3 you

The only real concrete plans I had were postponed until next week on account of the World Cup.

At least Italia won.

I woulda loved to see you all.

I'm not really a professional birthday person. However, I'm an A+ make-upper. (Not in the make-up mascara way, but the ...yeah.)

What do you want from Tokyo, if work cuts me loose long enough to shop?

I don't know. I liked the geisha girl ornament you got me last time. Get me something along those lines if it strikes your fancy. I trust your taste.

I had a very narrow window of time before Tokyo. What do I get in trouble least for...somthing+white chocolate or something+banana?

pixiemartin said...

real banana, or fake banana?

I'm not much of a fake banana person.

But...it's...kind of real. I ran into a girl who didn't like bananas, and she didn't like these!

Okay. If you have reservations about white chocolate, and/or me chatting with you on your blog like this, you better say.

You may chat on my blog all you wish, silly-o.

And I like white chocolate. I just dislike ultra-fake banana. I generally throw away banana candies.

I think something-non-fake-banana made it into the mail. I kind of forget, but I'm on the road so I can't check my closet-of-things-I-should-send-to-people.
