So this is what I wore on my bday! Minus the Koala Hat. I made that for Esther since I didn’t see her on her birthday! It matches her Koala Scarf!

Out fit run down:

Dress by Dainty June
Miss Pandy Necklace by KidPirate
Leggings: F21
Shoes: Stonebridge (bought in Toronto)

I also made a present for Elysse. She had always loved the little radish scarves, and she also commented at the Renegade Fair about how neat neckwarmers were for people who rode bikes (and didn’t want to deal with the long flappy ends of a scarf). So I put two and two together and whipped up this!

Finally, here is a pic of my fabooo bday cake made by Debbie Does Cakes!.

It was super amazing and a huge surprise that Hairy and Manda concocted!!!! It’s a cake modeled after my Layer Cake Tissue Cozy….so it’s a real cake that’s supposed to look like a fake cake. It’s awesome.

Apparently, at Aziza, there is no shortage of sparklers to put on bday desserts!! The food was ridiculously good at Aziza. There was SOOOO much of it, too. We got a fixed 4-course menu for over 8 people, and we were bursting at the seams….and there was SO much variety!! So cray-cray!!

I started to take pics of the food, and then I sort of got lazy and forgot. It was really good, though. Big thumbs up! Plus, the cocktails were yummy. I got a nectarine something or other with prosecco and it was delish.

We did hop over to 1984 for a second. It was already almost 1am when Hairy and I arrived, but it was a nice hour of people-watching. My favorite bartender bought me a bday drink, so that was nice, too. All in all, excellent bday!!!!! Wait till I show you the DVDs I got. They were all kind of a joke, but I am dubbing them my Self Improvement Dvds…including something by Deepak Chopra. I plan to watch them all (even guitar lessons by Esteban) and do a review for each.

Good Friends & Good Food,

Geritol & Depends,

Yup. Went to the DMV last week….two weeks ago…? to renew my drivers license. I have been renewing by mail for years. This is the first time since I was 18 that I’ve had to go in and get a new photo. Funny!

I had like 3 hrs of sleep the night before, and I can’t believe they didn’t ask me to take my glasses off? So weird.

Anyway, thought you’d enjoy the two photos next to each other. The top photo is totally from 1994. I barely had email then. HAHAHAHAH.

A/S/L?!??!?! 18/F/CA,

When we moved in, there was already a rock garden out on the patio, filled with moss and ferns. It was kinda nice, but, Hairy thinks that the flies hide in the ferns, and Bunny also likes to have secret mystery poos and pees in it. It has just become too dark and mysterious, and we decided to remove it and decorate the patio with more manageable planters instead. Also, technically, the rock garden was in violation of fire code, because it blocks our neighbors emergency egress (suckas!).

We had no idea how the rock garden was constructed, what materials we would find, or what to expect….

It’s too bad I didn’t capture ALL the bugs we saw. It was truly disgusting. I can handle spiders….but I cannot handle juicy, wiggly, worms and larvae!!! EWWW!!

Bunny continues to poo and pee on the remaining dirt pile, so it’s a good incentive to keep getting rid of this thing….

Some explanations:

1) Heaven in a Cardboard Boat: Manda had said this seconds earlier, and I found it so funny at the time (the sheer, honest, love for hot dogs), that I asked her to repeat herself on camera. It’s not quite the same as the original….

2) Take the Picture!!! : We didn’t realize (again) that the camera was on video mode. I was trying to pose with the sweet gal who asked me to sign her Layer Cake Tissue Cozy.

3) Eat it!!!: Hairy procured a cupcake from the cupcake booth. The one he is eating is called the CRAP CAKE.

4) This Is Our World Coming into Fruition!!!: Manda, while bored, decided to pick up q crochet hook after a 20 year hiatus. I was impressed she could remember as much as she did! It started as sort of a flower, and then sort of exploded into an amoeba……I asked her to ponder its yonder.

5) Is it ALL video?: No explanation.

6) (spitting out your turkey sandwich): So this came from my phobia of eating at our booth. I don’t think anybody was actually paying attention to what I was doing, but I just felt like I was eating on stage or something, and I didn’t want to have to chat with someone with bread sticking to my teeth. One time I was taking a bite, and I accidentally made eye-contact with somebody walking by, and I wanted to immediately eject my sandwich. I told Manda I would demonstrate on video.

VIOLA!
